...another tree grows, and some crochet

I love the sharing of inspiration that the internet enables, so I was excited when Dee sent me a lovely email to tell me about the quilt she is making using my A Tree Grows tutorial. 

I don't have a pinterest account, but I had noticed a large amount of traffic to my tutorial from there, and it appears to be popular among quilters. 

I think Dee may be right when she says that I am, in my heart of hearts, a quilter... but I just don't use fabric.  (This project of hers is making me want to give it a try, though.)


I love this quilt so much - Dee, you are so very clever! 

You can follow its progress on her blog in this post and this earlier one, and there is still more to come. 

I have received many wonderful emails and comments from people thinking about creating something using this tutorial.  Please share your links if you have any images of your creations, I would love to see them!

In other news... after a long break, I finally picked up a crochet hook again.  I had lots of gorgeous Biggan 4 ply Merino left over from these water bottle holders I made ages ago...


...so I decided to re-create my Small Neat Worlds in yarn. It feels nice to have a crochet project happening again, even though I'm not sure what it will be yet... a cushion perhaps? Will keep you posted :)
