August Donation blanket


August donation blanket


For August I crocheted a granny stitch afghan.


This was a great way to use up my scraps and practice crocheting. I usually knit. 

As I have said before. Crafting does not have to be expensive. Dig in to your scraps. Scour the thrift shops and keep an eye on clearance shelves. You never know what crafty treasures you will find.

Happy crafting.

July Donation Quilt

July Donation Quilt

For July I went with a red and blue theme.




Red and blue flannel backing, which was graciously donated to me.


I do quilt as you go. Then I top stitched with something decorative.


Binding was sewn on with my machine.


My supplies are usually on sale, from a thrift store, bought at a yard sale or donated. Quilting does not have to be expensive. My batting is usually pieced together randomly. Little bits and pieces of batting, fleece and felt come together to make the batting of my quilts. Can anyone tell in my finished product?  No.

My quilts and blankets are getting donated to the Gabriel Project, which helps young mothers in  my area.

Take your scraps and turn them into something beautiful for yourself or someone in need.

Happy crafting.
