My old shuffle went kaput during a run last week (granted, I am the third owner of said shuffle) so I bought myself a new one! Do you think it will inspire me to keep running? I do!
I am pretty impressed with the size due to the fact that it's a 4gb and my Nano is 5 times bigger and also is a 4gb. They just keep improving them!
I am not so keen on the headphones as that is where the controls are for the shuffle. Big bummer but I will deal. :)

Something new, something old

Whisper
It's a finished Whisper. I used Malabrigo Laceweight, maybe 3/4 of a ball (which consisted of 990 yds).
Running around
Saturday consisted of a bit of this but a lot more of sitting, knitting, chatting, relaxing. A bunch of us met up at Rowan's for a finishing party. I was able to start and finish a pair of slippers for Sadie Jane that day. I also got some great photos of my finished quilts, photos to follow.
Walk the Line
I made this in March 08 and left it with Lois to have it quilted. As soon as she got her new machine, she quilted it and sent it back to me. It has been waiting for over 8 months for me to do the binding. :) And since I was in a finishing mode 2 weekends ago, I got right on it! The backing is polar fleece.
Grandma's quilt
I made this as a birthday gift for my Grandma. Okay, I actually I made it just because but it's taking me so long to finish it, it will be right on time for her birthday. :) I used Jacobean Garden fabrics from Connecting Threads. The quilting was done by Lois Sedgwick.
Cowboy quilt
Made for James Randall Frame, my cousin's new little baby boy. The back is a brown flannel. I had a lot of firsts on this quilt: first handmade binding, first quilt with free motion quilting. Okay, two firsts! I am very very pleased with how this turned out!
