"Oh, No! Mom Has A New Hobby"

The quilt's title refers to a woman's obsession with knitting socks. Sound familiar? There are socks everywhere in this exuberant quilt, on the cat, the table, the sun and much more. Ricki Moffat of Edmonton, Canada, asked the Socknitters list for some "smaller than baby-size" socks and this is her quilt. It is about 4 feet square and wildly embellished with Ricki's siganture beading and embroidery, as well as dozens of socks sent from all over the world. I became fascinated with making smaller socks and this led to the design of Los Lobe Hose, tiny sock earrings.
