Wall hangings

Earlier in the season I “finished” a Christmas wall hanging that I had started last year. (Yes, I’m afraid it might never be completely finished.)

Today I decided it was time to replace it with something else. I have carried for many years (as did my mother before giving it to me) a baby quilt that was made by the women of Steinmann Amish Mennonite Church to honour my birth. I did not use it for either of my children as they too received baby quilts from church/a church member. I decided to sew a placket on the back and hang this kitten quilt for the next couple months.

Jax

A friend’s family adopted a senior dog, a very cute chihuahua named Jax

My friend asked if I could crochet a mini-Jax. So I did.

Then, because she has two young sons, she asked it I could make a second one so they would each have one. Jax Too is now ready to go with his twin to his new home

As part of my amigurumi journey this fall/winter I took up my son’s suggestion that a make their dog; well then I also had to make their cat (one more to go).
