Over the weekend, I finished the quilt for my youngest son. I used 2 Daysail charm pack, 1 gray charm pack, 1 navy charm pack, and 1 navy junior jelly roll. I didn't use the entirety of the packs in this one blanket. I made 2 small blankets. This one measured at 46x49. I backed it with a yard of the blue print on cream surrounded by navy solid. I love it but my youngest doesn't want it at the moment. Lolol!
A place to discuss my addiction with learning crafty things. I tend to be a Jackette of crafts with a bit of knitting, quilting, weaving, homemade items and any other crafty thing that sparks my interest.

Cover in Love
The other day a lady at work told me about her elderly neighbor who was always cold. That she and her husband went over to help fix the lady's AC. Now we live in Mississippi and last week we got up in the high 90s but her neighbor was still cold. So I found some fabric, batting, and minky to make her a quick blanket.
I loved the fabric as it is just the word "love" in red, white, and pink. I also think its appropriate since her neighbor is having difficulties right now to remind her that there are many people who still love her.

I'm excited to start the quilting.
