Joyofquilting's Crochet Corner

These videos I made are for my Beginner Crocheters from the last few months beginners days.
And of course anyone else who may be interested.

Crochet is such a wonderful craft. Non Crochet people are always amazed at how we can wiggle a hook and create magic!

My Crochet Videos 

This first one shows how to Crochet the U.K. Treble Stitch (US double Crochet)
This is the go to stitch for general Crochet. I'm thinking Granny Squares, Crochet Throws/Blankets, Shawls etc.

Give It A Try

As often as you need to.
Have fun.

Quilt As You Go All Finished - Well Almost

Quilt as you Go


I've just finished my Lynne Edwards Sampler Quilt. I really like it.
We did use  a few non Lynne Edwards blocks. Just because I liked them.
I intend doing some hand quilting in the sashing. But that can wait a while.
Meanwhile here are some pictures.

Sampler Quilt 


I made twenty blocks.

This is the back of the quilt.
I used up all my scrap pieces to make the back.

Close ups of the quilting - back view.

See the black blur/smudge at the bottom of the quilt?

That was my new kitten Sparky darting across the quilt!

So it looks like Daisy and I have a new apprentice to help us quilt.

Quilt As You Go

This project used Quilt as you Go joining. It's a lovely way to work as each Block is complete including Quilting before being joined together to make the whole Quilt.


I would be thrilled if you checked out my other Social Media Links
