I generally sew Christmas gifts for my 9 grandchildren. Usually it's flannel or fleece pj's - they seem to like those. This year I decided to make fleece blankets. I made one for each of my grandchildren, plus one for my husband and a small one for myself. That's 48 yards of fleece! I'm probably the only crafter that had never made one of these or even owned one. Instead of the cut & tie method, I decided to stitch all the way around the edges and then cut the edges into 1-1/2" wide strips. I didn't tie them, just left them as fringe. I think the kids will like them and I'm thrilled that I got them finished early!
What lovely gifts. They will be thrilled. I still have an afghan that my grandmother knitted for me when I was 12.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking presents. I have to do this next year for my grandsons. Btw the bernina find is a treasure. I'd probably have a basic service done on it as it may not have been done in years and it will sing for you. I love sewing in a cabinet. I'd toss out something else in the house to make room for that set up. I bookmarked your blog as I enjoy your projects.
