Finished Baby Gift (owl theme)

Finally finished my owl collection for the new little one expected soon.

My inspiration came  from this purchased fleece blanket and a pack of matching receiving blankets.

The small receiving blankets were used to make this.....

Large flannel swaddling blanket

and this.......

"taggie blanket"

I also made:

owl pillow

crochet small owl "stuffy "

crochet granny blanket

All in all I am happy with everything and it was fun to make my own patterns for things. It is so easy to make any pattern you like by taking a picture or scanning an item and using the image as a guide. The granny square blanket is fun because you can make up your design as you go.

Sewing for Baby

I haven't been very good at keeping up with posting to my blog lately but at least I have been getting some things accomplished in the fabrication department. I have a couple of crochet projects on the go which I will show at a later date but for this post I am sharing the flannel blankets I have been making  for baby. 

I like to make blankets large enough for bundling a newborn and I often prefer flannels that are not necessarily meant for baby. There are so many nice flannels out there now what with the surge in quilting flannels.

And more to do...............

More flannels all washed & waiting to be made into blankets!

I love the feel of the double sided flannel blanket. Making for baby is so much fun.
