RJ's Thomas the Train Blanket

I finally made a blanket that will stay in our house. I found this super cute Thomas the Train fabric back in March or April. There wasn't enough of it to do an entire blanket with it so I put it back on the shelf. Rj saw it and pulled it off the shelf and would not set it down. Well, I finally decided that there was enough that I could use it as a "base" so I bought it. I finally didn't have any orders so I was able to sew a twin size blanket for rj.

I LOVE the way it turned out. Rj loves it too...the trick now is to make it "disappear" without him missing it until his birthday. :)

Batman/Spiderman Blanket

My friend Hannah and I have been wanting to do this blanket for her little boy for A LONG time, but since the fabric is "characters," it was way expensive at the time. The fabric finally went on sale, and this is the finished product.

I LOVE the way it turned out. :-)

A Whole Lot of Pink

This blanket is another one that I did for my wonderful friend Niki. One of her daughter's is having a birthday this weekend, and I was fortunate enough to be able to put together this twin size beauty for her.

The style and layout is similar to the "California Twin" that I put together and posted about for Niki's son a couple weeks ago. This one is just slightly smaller. The following pictures show the overall view, a close-up of one of the squares, and part of the back with part of the front. For the back of this one, I incorporated the colors from the front-making the color scheme flow from front to back. Though pink is not my favorite color, I LOVE the way this turned out :)

"California" twin blanket

This blanket was a blast to make. It is for my wonderful friend Niki's son's 8th birthday. I told her all along that I would try to have it finished "on time" but that I couldn't promise anything because I only had 2.5 days.

Well, I got it done! This blanket was a "new" undertaking for me in the sense of fabric patterns. I am getting to where I like experimenting with color, but this one had the color, the print, the circles, the plaid...I wasn't sure, but Niki picked them and I sewed. I LOVE it!

Happy 8th birthday Joe!!!
