Some more blankets

I made two more quilt-style fleece blankets.  One for me - which has a cotton top material that I tested out machine quilting on, and one for my husband.  His reminds me of a Mexican blanket- he loves colorful things. Everyone loves these because they are very big and so soft.  I think I would like to do more machine quilting.


Watercolors I've done


Over the years, mostly flowers have inspired me to paint.  Some other things, but mostly flowers.

Gold star red curtains w red and gold ribbon tabs

I made these curtains with pretty expensive calico fabric.  I just couldn't resist it.  My son and his girlfriend use them as a privacy screen between their living room and bedroom.

Fleece Blanket with Cotton Quilting

This is an Owl blanket I made for my daughter; it is fleece, and the owl material is flannel.  I had a hard time with the mitering of the corners-maybe because my material was not the same width as called for in the directions??  But it still came out fine.
