Courthouse Steps Quilt Top
I made 63 Courthouse Steps blocks, now I have a quilt top. There will probably be a border, but I'll add that after we go back home. We'll be leaving the summer cabin in a few days.

At Long Last- A Completed Scarf
Not long ago, I was looking for something in a closet and I came across an abandoned knitting project.
It was a scarf that was just about finished, but I couldn't remember what stitch pattern I had been using.
I decided to finish it the way it was, so I casted off, even though it should have had a bit more length.
A loopy crocheted edging on both ends added a finishing touch. I'll have a new scarf to keep my neck warm next winter.
I don't know why I always get sidetracked and leave things not quite completed. Oh well, most of them get finished eventually.

Linda H's Latest Baby Quilt To Donate
Linda has been busy making many baby quilts to donate. They don't require as much fabric and supplies as bigger quilts, so the cost is reduced.
Fabric, thread and batting are all extremely expensive these days, especially in Canada. Also, it takes less time to make them than bed quilts.
This is what Linda said about this one,
"Here are the quilt pictures of the baby quilt. I made a quilt block from Matchstick Stars by Natalie Crabtree from Mccalls Quilting March/April 2023. I added a border of strips to make it bigger."
I'm sure the recipients really enjoy Linda's creations. :)
