Blanket for Brayden

Yesterday I finished a blanket for a friend's grandbaby. He lives near the shore, so I know he'll be a water baby. Since the fleece is rather thick, I experimented with using organza as an underlay. I think it turned out well and will keep the fleece from coming through the design. (I hope!)

And some more

And here are a few more. 8-) The gold metallic butterfly really is much prettier than it looks on the picture. I think it was probably my favorite blanket to do.

More Pictures, finally!

Here are a few more pictures of blankets that I did for Project Linus. Some that I had planned for Japan will be used for the burn camp this summer instead. It turns out that we were low on fleece blankets for the burn camp. Due to the tenderness of the children's skin, we can only send fleece. Either way, Japan or the burn camp, the blankets will be used and loved.

Blankets for Japan

The national office of Project Linus was asked to supply 10,000 blankets for the victims of the Japanese earthquake that took place last month. I have committed to making 10-12 blankets. Here is a picture of the first one. Since our former exchange student from Japan loved shoes, I have been working on at least three for the women who adore shoes.
