Yet another good blanket!


I made this for my husbands missionary companions neighbor. So as usual, it was up to me to choose the fabric, etc. I decided to try a store called "Scrap Apple Quilts." And lo and behold, they had all the fabrics that I would order from ebay and more. I am going back for sure if another order request comes up. lol.

I am starting to put batting in my blankets now because it is getting chilly out there. And when I get a washer/dryer, I will start preshrinking the fabrics. Recently, I found out that cotton shrinks in dryer. I just think of all those people I made blankets for and wonder if theirs' ever shrunk. I apologize for that. We all learn from our mistakes.

Back into the swing of things

"McKenzie Muir" blanket with batting with embroidery

It's been awhile since I have taken any orders but now that I have moved and settled in and most of all have a new sewing machine that does embroidery, it's like a dream come true! Here is my first embroidery project and more to follow.
