Workbasket WIPs #110

The post describes the process of adding borders to a quilt, fixing a knitting project, crocheting a doll, and scanning embroidery patterns. The quilt was finished in 2008 but needed resizing. After struggling with the process, the quilt was successfully enlarged. The knitting project was restarted and the crocheted doll is coming along nicely. Antique embroidery pattern books are also being scanned for sharing.
