My latest blanket

I went out on a limb and way out of my comfort zone. I really do not sew for the public due to my busy work and school schedule plus no one ever appreciates the work that goes into the project.  

Anyway this guy at work came to me several times and asked me to make his mom a blanket for her birthday and I would tell him no. I finally broke down and said okay, I will do it. He told me her birthday was several months away and he knew my schedule was hectic. 

Her favorite color is red. I finally found some fleece he liked and made the blanket (no, not a quilt. have not got that brave yet). I gave it to him Friday he loved and was very thankful. He give it to her yesterday and she loved it. She even called me to tell me thank you and that I did a wonderful job. I felt great because she is a former seamstress for the whole town. She told me that she does not do blankets because she does not have the patience for it. Patience for it...she used to make the uniforms for the high school band. To say the least It was nice to have someone say thank you. 

The blanket is very easy to make. I take two pieces of fleece, wrong sides together and put a binding around them. Then put little hand-sewn stitches at different places so the blanket will stay together. I am still learning but I am making progress.

Until next time.....
