Normalynn Ablao swaps starch for fiber in her crocheted pantry staples. The California-based crafter shapes penne, coils of spaghetti, and stuffed tortellini, creating piles of yellow pasta from tightly looped yarn. Whether crocheting individual macaroni or ricotta-and-sauce-filled lasagna, the textured designs have a compelling resemblance to their edible counterparts. Ablao shares an extensive archive of patterns for baked goods, snacks, and other fare on her site and Etsy. You also might enjoy similar fiber-based food by Lucy Sparrow, Kate Jenkins, and Trevor Smith. More

I was part of a quiet book swap in the fall with the BYU MBASA (MBA Spouse Association). My group made a "scripture" quiet book. We each signed up to make one page. It think there were 9 people (including me) in my group, so I made 9 of the same page. When we were all done we swapped our extra 8 pages for the other ones in our group. It was nice because I could buy my supplies in bulk for the 1 page. I think they all turned out really cute! Armor of God Joseph and the coat of many colors Liahona (the arrows spin) Tithing Noah's Ark With animal matching card game Lehi's Dream Ammon and the Lamanites with removable sheep (my page) Nephi's drought I have sewn a few of the pages together, but want to add a couple more. Emme loves to play with them in church on Sundays!

Okay, Okay, I know. I shouldn't join to many swaps, but this one is for a sewing machine cover. I've always wanted one. I've even designed one for me and one for my daughter. Life got in the way and they never got made. So I thought I could use that design for this swap and maybe make myself one. Go figure, my partner likes a different kind of quilting then I do. This made me stretch my expertise. I used EQ7 to design this paper pieced raccoon. Then I posted him to Sewn Spaces Swap on Flickr as a tease for my partner. He was a big hit. I haven't sewn him together but I think he will work. I didn't want him to be alone in the center front of the sewing machine cover. It's way to wide for that. So today I went back to the EQ7 and used Custom Set for the first time. First I had to design a square block for part of the tree I wanted. I then completed the tree after I had started the layout design. Because the designs over lap I needed to make part of the tree outside a normal square design. Here is the results. Now to pick out fabrics and get it sewn. I still have to do something for the back. Any suggestions. I was thinking of maybe doing the same scene with a fall tree. But maybe some smalls birds flying would be right. I have until May 13th to get this finished and in the mail. I still need to design and exicute two Anything But Square potholders for Potholders Pass, another swap group on Flickr. That is due by May 13th also. Then there is the Bitty Block Committee. This group exchanges in groups of 12 bitty blocks with a theme. I joined the Sweets exchange. The blocks are 3.5" unfinished. This maybe too small for me. I felt I owed it to my BFF in Texas because she joined like the other 3 groups because I did. LOL This group is due on May 10th. Come back soon to see what I am doing on these three groups.

I saw my friend AnnMarie making stacks of these trees this past month. I decided it would be fun to gather with a few friends and do a tree swap! Here is the blog where you will find the original directions and an easy print out for these trees. But as my friend Susan discovered, sometimes trimming the trees down to the recommended size, was just a bit too small for our liking. So, here's a pictorial to clarify for my swap friends just exactly how to make the trees and the trimming measurements. Start with a TWO 2"x 4-1/4" tree fabrics, cut diagonally as shown with just ONE of tree rectangles then cut the opposite diagonal on the second tree rectangle. Cut TWO background fabrics 2-3/4"x6" then cut one on the diagonal and the other on the opposite diagonal just like the tree rectangles. From all these fabrics, you will render 2 trees. Take the two background fabrics (one from each of the different diagonal cuts) and lay the tree fabrics (again, one from each of the opposite diagonal cuts) right sides together as shown. Pay close attention that the correct edge of the tree fabric is stitched onto the correct edge of the background. Make sure the points of the tree fabric are at the very tip of the background fabric....stitch as shown Press towards the tree fabric i trimmed where the tree top intersects on both sections lining up with the edge of the green tree fabric and trying to keep things as square as possible. Now the center of the tree can be lined up and stitched using the 1/4" seam allowance right sides together even if it looks a bit uneven, i pin where the tree top intersects and the trimming squares the block up press seams open I trimmed this section to 4", leaving as much of the background fabric at the top as i could (almost and inch) Next comes the trunk. The original directions say to cut TWO background pieces 2"x4+" INSTEAD...cut them 2-1/2"x 4". you can always trim down. Sew the brown 7/8" strip between the 2-1/2x4" rectangles and press away from the trunk Subcut into 1" sections to be used for more than 1 trunk if you like. Find the middle of the trunk and line up with the vertical seam on tree and stitch in place Now here's the trimming dimensions for my swap partners..... Trim block to 4-3/8" tall (there should be approximately 7/8" of background above the tip of the tree. And from the seam of the trunk to the bottom of the block there should be approximately 3/4". The width should measure approx. 3-6/8". I lined my ruler at the 1-7/8" mark with the vertical seam and trimmed the side. Then i flipped the block, measured again using the 1-7/8" mark on the vertical seam and trimmed the opposite side. I hope this picture helps. For the open spaces with no trees, cut the background fabric 3-6/8"x4-3/8" (same size as the trimmed tree block) Here is AnnMarie's forest Yes...it looks like Christmas.... but never to early to start!!
