Besides attempting to burn some calories, I did finish one small project on my return. I've been collecting Liberty Tana Lawn fabric for quite some time. I buy it in charm square size as that is what's most affordable. Eager to make something but hesitant to sew the patches into a quilt, I decided to make a scarf. I enjoy wearing scarves so I knew this would be a fun and practical use for some of my pinky and purply squares.
I backed the scarf with a lovely piece of flowered Kaffe Fassett fabric and added a crochet edging. I've also added some decorative hand stitching which I need to finish.
In the very near future, I'll be sharing some treasured gifts from blogging friends and if all goes well..... another completed project. Until then...........
Linking up to TNT Thursdays!

That is beautiful! What a great use for those precious fabrics. And I love the added detail of the crochet edging.
Your scarf is so cool! Should be great for CA fall and winter:) I actually have some Liberty fabric waiting to be made into a scarf too. I may very well copy your crochet idea, looks really nice!
Your dinner looks lush ;-)
Thats going to be a very cool scarf!
Sure sometimes it's good to flit around between projects :o)
I'm sure it's good to switch between different projects. I do it often, and very probably because I have a full time job, which unfortunately takes too much time away from my sewing. But it's hard not to try new things that pop up! So you're in good company;-) Your scarf is so beautiful!
Oh awesome scarf! I love it! You are so clever. We are in our 10th day of temps over 110. At 8 PM it's still 102. We are having a cold front on Saturday...it's only going to be 100! Hope it's not that hot in California! Thanks for sharing your scarf! It's awesome!

I share your pain on this valley heat, we still have to get through August...ugh. Love your scarf, Liberty is so pretty. Good idea making it into a scarf.
You have a pretty finish to wear! I like the scarf's prints, and the pink edging in crochet. You'll be so cute, and looking like a quilter ~

Yummy food! The scarf is really beautiful!
I have a thing for accessories, from jewelry to scarves (have a whole drawer of them) -- especially lovely when they are handmade, with a lovely crocheted border. :) I need to burn some calories but with 125 degree heat, there's absolutely no way to get out there and pound the pavement. I'm hoping all the crocheting I'm doing counts for something. Ha! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the world. Have a great day! Tammy
