Socks From Remmants

In my last post I showed you a picture of odds and ends of leftover yarn from socks I previously knit.Well here is one sock I just finished.I used the plain wool for the cuff,heel ,toe and in between each patterned colour and used the pattern wool for stripes in between. Now I have to figure out the yarn I used and how many rows of each to match this one.
Have a great day.

Crazy Quilt Made By Aunt Minnie Day

This is a crazy quilt made by my Great Aunt,Minnie Day.It is dated 1883-1895.There are many initials embroidered on it,which I expect are family and friends.It is made from many types of fabrics,silk,velvets etc.Minnies sister was Eliza Day-Henderson my grandmother.She was a seamstress and I expect most of the fabric was leftover pieces from the dresses and gowns Eliza made.Most every piece has something embroidered on it.This quilt was passed down to me,I suppose as I am a quilter and interested in quilts.

This is a scene from our beach in Hunts Point.Hunts Point is a small fishing village on the South
Shore of Nova Scotia.Half way between Yarmouth and Halifax .There are cottages located on this beach.A favorite place for vacationers.White Point Lodge is near by which has a golf course.
