Black and White Iced Pie Afghan

Here's a new one, a black and white quarter circle blanket using this pattern. Ice Pie Crochet square


It's an eight by eight square pattern with half blocks at the top and bottom. Yeah, you could probably do this with quilting, but you can't lug a sewing machine around with you. I used either Caron, Lion Brand or Bernat yarn, in the pound of yarn variety. I don't really know or remember which ones I used. I was using my yarn stash.


I also used the joining technique described on the site. She said it was supposed to lay flat, but I still have some ridges where I joined the squares, but the back of it is flat. I'm not sure where this blanket is supposed to go, hopefully somewhere nice.

Stampin' Up! 2015 Party Order


It's here! My 2015 Stampin' Up! workshop order! I got most of it, some of the dies and embossing folders are on backorder. Hope they show up soon.


Stuff I paid for ( 3 dies on backorder), not as much as last year. I got picky this time.


Stuff for free (1 embossing folder on backorder), and the 50% off items. Gotta love Sale-a-bration time. Oh, and I split my hostess dollars with sis-in-law because she let me have the party at her house. If I didn't have to clean my house, it was worth it to split the party profits. 'Til next year!
