Matching Christmas Fleece Blankets for 2008


These are the fleece blankets that I gave my grandsons as part of their Christmas gifts this year. They are large in size, have cute bright writing and are ever-so-soft. For my son's son, Trent, I finished the blanket by folding up the sides to create a double layer, then I zigzaged all the way around and I fringed the edges. For my daughter's son, Tristen, I finished the blanket by folding up the sides, zigzaged all the way around, cut every 1/2" to make loops, and interlocked the loops together. These babies can enjoy their matching blankets together and their parents can still tell these blankets apart.

Trent's Finished Frog Quilt


Here it is! I have finally finished Trent's frog quilt. What little boy does not love frogs. The three different 4" squares purchases off of e-bay, the purple binding, and the backing worked so well together and my diagonal lines were just perfect. Enjoy my sweet grandson!

Tristen's Bear Quilt


Here is the Bear quilt that hangs on one side of Tristen's crib. Grandma purchased this quilt on e-bay as an unfinished project. I trimmed the edges and added the bright green binding. It is a very soft quilt that has been rescued and completed.
