New EQ Pattern – Sunflower table runner

I just added a new EQ pattern to the download page – a summer themed tablerunner pattern.

Clearly the EQ down load page is a popular item – I’m glad many of you are enjoying the patterns.  Box.net, where my EQ files are stored for download keeps track of the number of downloads and I just know you’re wondering what those statistics are…well maybe not but I’m going to share some of them anyway. 🙂 

Since June 5, 2009 when I loaded the first EQ pattern to my blog, Spring in Baxter’s Garden has been one of the favorites – downloaded 152 times; closely followed by Riding the Waves – 129 times and  Baxter at the Beach – 117 times.  Those are the favorites so far and your bit of download trivia for today!  For you fans of Baxter the Bear – I’m still working on solving the drawing error in Baxter’s Wild Ride – the winter themed wallhanging – and hope to have it resolved soon so it can be posted.

A new sock

Yes – I started another sock but amazingly it is the mate to one of the many shown in yesterday’s post.  Yes I’m determined to pair up those lonely socks.  But then there’s temptation in the air — friend Judy had a giveaway on her blog and I WON! Yeah!! But that means a new luscious red yarn and needlecase will be headed my way.  The red yarn will definitely be a temptation since I’ve been eyeing a couple sock patterns with more than just the plain designs I’ve been making that a solid yarn would be perfect for.  But I shall perservere and finish some of these socks in progress first. 

On the quilting front, I hope to have a photo of the Moon Over the Mountain top all done.  I’ve got one last row to frame and sash and then can sew them all together.  I’m really liking the way its turning out.  It’s supposed to be a humid, warm, stormy weekend so perfect to stay inside and quilt and knit!
