Eventide Progress

Borders I made great progress on my Eventide quilt this week.  Look!   A border!  There may even be 2 borders.   And a finished quilt center.   Stay tuned for my reveal next week.   Do you ever have so much fun making a quilt, you don't want it to end?   That's how I feel about this one.   Except if it never ended I couldn't move on to my long list of quilts that I want to make....


And today I leave you with my first ever Stashmaster Fitness Tip.  Riding a stationary bike, while good cardio exercise, is not the most exciting endeavor.  Knitting may seem like a good choice to pass the time while on a recumbent (seated) bike.  However, please pay heed to where your ball of yarn is, or it may get in front of your wheels and end up hopelessly wound around the hub and bike pedal.   Not a pretty sight.   Trust me.

    I can't wait to see the whole quilt! Looks great so far. =)
    OMG, I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune. Hope you and your knitting project survived the accident!

    OOps, I hope it wasn't the chenille "Touch Me" yarn!

    I have a feeling your Eventide will be gorgeous, Lisa! Seems like all the quilts made this winter were ones I didn't want to end - I definitely know the feeling! Ha, ha,....don't you love finding these things out the hard way - will the bike be OK (I know that yarn probably isn't)!
    Cheers!

    Well since I don't have a bike or knit, I think I'm safe from repeating your fitness fiasco! I hope it's funny today, because the thought of all that yarn wrapped around your bike made me laugh!
    Your Eventide is stunning, it's hard to argue that Luna Notte is not the perfect fabric for that pattern when I see yours.
