wee one helps with the pictures
Wee one has a new idea for blocking the hemlock ring blanket.
And she loves the fabric bowl I just finished for Dani's leap-year birthday.
Bowl facts: fabrics are Kaffe Fassett's Targets and shot cotton on the bottom - love that teal! - and the instructions are from Fast, Fun and Easy Fabric Bowls posted by alison at 2:24 pm | in

The fabric bowl is really interesting! And I love the color you chose for the Hemlock Ring. Did you get it to block the way you wanted to? I blocked mine fairly severely and it still rippled at the edge when it was unpinned, and I used wool. Although the idea of silk is now swimming around my brain... Posted by: Laurel at March 1, 2008 3:58 PMWow! I saw one of these a few years ago at a quilt shop in Quincy and I loved it! I'd totally forgotten about them, but seeing yours... and the instructions online... Posted by: Johanna at March 1, 2008 4:17 PMIt was nice meeting you yesterday at the quilt shop. I hope I run into you and wee one again! : ) Posted by: Valerie at March 1, 2008 4:59 PMIt's nice to see Wee One giving you a hand. Posted by: Anita at March 1, 2008 5:36 PMThank you so much Alison!

Posted by: Donna at March 1, 2008 9:23 PMI Love that bowl! Posted by: Lindsey at March 3, 2008 1:11 PMThat bowl is amazing. I might have to try it out myself! Posted by: Kristen at March 3, 2008 10:28 PMDid you just follow the Hemlock pattern with smaller yarn on smaller needles to make it baby size?? Love it!
