Hairpin lace shawl...

Alongside the t shirt quilt whenever I had some time away from the sewing nook I was working on this one from red heart's unforgettable collection.. And completed it in the for the show and tell quilters meet yesterday where I took this along .. Here are the pictures...


Two t shirt quilts I hand quilted with ties and made for my classmate. Toolkit me several months to make the top.. 30 blocks each of 16" squares. Both reached her sons when she gift them fit the Harvard MD graduation .. And her engineer son also received it. So blessed to have been part of their life stories.

A peacock hairpin lace shawl


Have been longing to crochet with the stained glass unforgettable yarn from Red heart on my hairpin loom. The yarn is silky and pretty to work with. Here are my process pictures. 


One motif at a time the rhythm is soothing ...


After I assembled all the pieces together I carried it with me to weave in the loose ends and add the tassels during my wait time in the car waiting for my friend. 
 Daylight helps in weaving in the ends .. 



Here's the finished shawl. It is triangular in shape. Certainly light weight and breezy design. The link to the pattern is in the "bridal shawl" post. 

The peacock is the national bird of  and I really love the peacock color. 



So light and breezy indeed just as the feathers ..

Hope you liked this piece.
