Bishopstone yarns episode 57. The forgotten knitting video. #knitting

Here is the video I forgott to post earlier. I hope you like it. 

Tour de France femme #3

 Day 3 of the tour de France femme race is on. I managed to get some plying done today, but this brown fleece seems to keep giving. In previous years I have used the tour de fleece as a way to work my way through the brown stash. Brown is not my favourite colour and I had thought I was near the end of all my brown fleeced but no, there is more.

Bishopstone yarns podcast, episode 33, #knitting podcast

 Episode 33 of the Bishopstone yarns podcast is now up on youtube for you to see.

I was a few day late getting this one out as I have been sick with covid. This made it very hard for me to talk for any length of time without coughing, but I did manage to get a video made and put up on youtube. It may be a bit shorter than usual and without an intro as well but it is a video none the less.

I must admit that I struggle a bit with getting the type of footage I would like to include in my podcasts ( I guess that is the correct name for these videos). I seem to have a lot of trouble downloading from any of my devices to my laptop, therefore I have been filming everything on my laptop. When I had a different laptop and phone I could easily and most importantly , quickly download from one to the other. Now it seems to be a huge ordeal and so it puts me off trying again. I do think I should try and work out what I am doing wrong.

I hope you enjoy my video and please leave a comment as I always love to hear what everyone else is doing and making.    

Thankyou for watching

Farmers wife sampler quilt #6

Here are the next set of blocks I have done from The Farmer's wife sampler quilt. I have not trimmed these blocks yet as I will do that at the end. If you would like to see these blocks in action you can see them on my podcast on you tube, Bishopstone yarns. I am sorry but some of these blocks need another iron as they have been sitting in piles in a bag since finishing and filming for the podcast. I am very happy to have made spool as I was thinking of making a small quilt of these blocks as a cover for my sewing machine. I have seen these on others podcasters machines and love the look of them. 

Farmer's Daughter

Honey's Choice

I am not happy with this block as I found that the points have not met up in the middle of the shapes. I am left wondering if I need to redo this block. I really like the colours used in this but I don't have much of this material left so I would have to make another block in different colours. What I might do is wait until I finished all the blocks and then make a decision about this block, and any others that may be in the same redo or not pile.

Old Windmill

Spool

Farmers wife sampler quilt #5

 Here are the next 5 blocks I have made from the Farmer's wife sampler quilt. These have not been trimmed and some may need another iron since I finished and filmed them. If you would like to see these blocks in action you can see them on my podcast Bishopstone yarns on you tube. The blocks in these posts may not appear in order with the podcast episodes but I will try.

I am not a sewer or a quilter as such and am finding this experience really enjoyable. I have made blocks I never would have tried if I was just to choose myself so it has pushed me into learning new techniques , some I am sure I will use again and some I hope not to. I never knew that I would sew so many tiny triangles as the idea of all those points needing to meet up has always scared me.

                                                          Butterfly at the crossroads

Contrary Wife

Friendship Star

Churn Dish

Farmers wife sampler quilt # 4

Here are the next set of blocks that I have made for my Farmer's wife sampler quilt. These have not been trimmed and some may need a re iron since finishing and filming for my podcast. If you would like to see these blocks in action you can watch the my podcast Bishopstone yarns on you tube.

Attic Window

 

Birds in the Air

                                                                    Broken Dishes

Broken sugar bowl

I had a problem with my iron at the very end of this block. As I did my final iron I was left with these black marks on my fabric. So I may have had something stuck on the iron or the tan material is not cotton, as it curled a bit when I ironed it. Still deciding if it will wash out or if I need to make another block.

Calico Puzzle

episode 17

 Episode 17 of Bishopstone yarns is now up on youtube. 

I have some finished socks, a new sock start. 

See where I am up to in my cross stitch and my Farmers wife sampler quilt.

I may have bought some new material for a sewing project as well.

Farmers wife sampler quilt #3

Here are the next set of blocks that I have made from the Farmer's wife sampler Quilt. The first block is made using material from one of the quilting group ladies. I am hopeful that it will tone in well with my other fabrics.  These blocks have not been cut down to size yet as I will do that at the end of making

If you want to see these blocks in action you can see them on my podcast Bishopstone yarns on you tube.

Autumn Tints

Farmers wife sampler quilt #1

 I have started to make a new quilt and why not jump in with one that is made up from 111 blocks.

I guess there are a few reasons why not but I have decided to make as many blocks as I am happy to make. I hope that will be all of them but I will wait and see.

There is a lot for me to learn along the way as I have never tried most of these sewing techniques before.   

Here are the first five blocks. These may not appear in exactly the same order as on my podcast  Bishopstone yarns podcast on you tube but I will try.

Ozark Maple Leaf

Single Wedding Star

Streak of Lightning

Rainbow Flowers

Postage stamp

I hope you enjoy these. As you can see I have not yet trimmed these yet. I will wait until the end before doing that.
