Thanks to the amazingly talented Attic24 (and a slightly irritating headcold) I can proudly say that I know how to ripple. It's something that I've wanted to learn but kept thinking 'that's too hard'. Well, I can safely say, it's not too hard and it's immensely satisfying.
Things have been a bit busy lately, and I haven't done any crafting for ages and whilst it's holidays at the moment, I find I'm spending a lot of time with the kids. This morning though, the boys went out with their big cousin Lily and as I wasn't feeling too good, I figured I deserved a little time to sit quietly. So that's just what I did - and this is what I achieved out of scraps of wool I found in my stash. I'm itching to try her tutorial on hexagons now. Check out her blog - it's so bright and beautiful, it just makes you smile :)
Below is what I plan to start on the weekend. I'm thinking a log cabin quilt, or something similar. It will be lovely to get behind a sewing machine again - it's been far too long!

Your ripples look great, I have been looking for a ripple pattern for ages, but couldn't understand them. Lucy's pattern and instructions make it look simple enough for me to do. Happy sewing and rippling
Nicely done Levin! That looks just great...as does seeing your comment on my blog! I've missed you here...so good to see little snippets of what you've been up to. How's the study going??

That's a lovely pile of fabrics. Will make a great log cabin quilt.

Love your fabric stash too, but you know what a sucker I am for red and for polkadots ;)
hee Levin. I love your ripple. Looks hard but you said it wasn,t. Also love your next project. The colours are beautifull.I,m starting the farmers wife sampler quilt. The whole project takes about 2 years. Very ambitious but this way I will keep on going. I,m really enjoying it. looking forward to seeing how the quilt comes along. Love Els

What a gorgeous post (apart from the head cold bit). Your ripple looks amazing and as for that pile of fabric...devine. I must have a go at the ripple soon I think. Have a great weekend.
