Fiber Arts Monday – Who’s Doing What?
May 9, 2011
With all the tornado recovery going on around here there are no Fiber Arts happening, I guess you could say there are a lot of culinary arts happening! Either way, I’d love to hear and see what you all are working on, please do share!
Fiber art is anything that includes stitching, weaving, quilting, sewing, rug making, crocheting, knitting, spinning, etc…
Each Monday we can share ideas, patterns, finished projects and ask questions about fiber arts in the comment section.
You can also link up to your blog post or photo account that is related to fiber arts, I just ask that you link back to the most current Fiber Arts Monday post. Just leave your post link in the comment section and tell us what it is.
So how ’bout it? Do you have a project you are working or want to work on? Let’s share some inspiration!

We’ve been busy outside taking advantage of the little bit of warm weather and sunshine we’ve had, so there hasn’t been much fiber arts going on around our house. However, I have been sneaking in spare moments of crochet here and there as I’m working on a bonnet for a church friend who has a baby girl due near the end of June. I’m enjoying playing around with different crochet stitches to give the bonnet texture. So much fun, and since it’s a small project, it doesn’t hurt so bad to rip it out when I’m not happy with how it’s going.
Lord willing, I’ll share some photos when it’s finished.
Thanks for hosting, Kathy; still praying for all of you down in Alabama. Blessings, ~Lisa
I can’t wait to see the bonnet Lisa. I know one lady who made bonnets for each of her babies and they all hang on a wall now…it’s so precious!
I have been knitting up a stack of dish clothes both for me and for gifts. It helps me to be much more patient and willing to sit during homeschool time if I have something in my hands. I am a big fan of anything that helps me be a better mommy.
Kristy, talk about multi-tasking!

My two children and I are working on our individual quilt blocks that we call Black Ships Before Troy. We read a book actually a couple of years ago called Black Ships Before Troy: The Story of the Iliad by Rosemary Sutcliff. I want them to have something to help them remember some of the stories we have enjoyed during their years of home education. Now, if I can find another quilt block depicting something we’ve read either from the Bible or another good book.
What a GREAT idea!!! Could you send me a picture or two of your blocks? I love this idea!!!
I’ll send you a picture or two as soon as we finish up. This is their first quilt block.
I would encourage everyone to read the ladiesagainstfeminism.com post and participate in the “sewing bee” for the Crawford and Lee families.
I figured things were pretty busy for you. I have a few things to share, actually.
I finished a quilt for my daughter. I posted about that here: http://frugalideasfromtheparsonage.blogspot.com/2011/05/homemade-gift-quilt-for-my-beautiful.html
I also finished another vintage sheets quilt for an ongoing Etsy order. You can see that one here: http://frugalideasfromtheparsonage.blogspot.com/2011/05/another-vintage-sheets-quilt.html
Thanks for continuing this link-up. You all are some of the few people I “know” who actually do these kinds of things, too. I enjoy seeing what everyone is working on!
Those are both great! I especially like the pink one! Thanks for posting.
