I will let you be the judges...
I wanted to make some blankets of love to send to Cheryll. When she posted about the need for small blankets of between 8" and 12", I thought it would suit me perfectly as I am quite enjoying making mini things at the moment. The project would include some stitching and some crochet.
The ideas were floating around my head and by the time they were put into action by the hands and fingers I had the result I was after. A trip to Spotlight for some snuggly flannelette for the backing and some lovely baby wool to finish them perfectly.
The stitchery designs are freebies from NeedleCrafter.com. there is also a little rabbit and puppy in the same style. Perhaps a mint and mauve one? Very enjoyable to stitch.
Finished size 11 1/2 inches approx.
(the little girly kitten ended up with an appliqued dress as I mucked up the tracing of the dress patterning. I am not unhappy with the result)
I hope to send these off to Cheryll asap.
Two little houses are added to the collection. The fabrics for these were kindly given to me by Rosalie. I think the one on the right should be called Rosie's cottage.
Well I'm off to partake in some more construction work.
Only two more sleeps till Mill Rose get together!
I guess this sums up Saturday....
Roll on the weekend!!
cheers
