Man, I HATE to admit he was right! My husband took Punkie to his parents house for about an hour this morning so that I can get the blanket done. Sewing it on the floor worked like a charm. No issues. I didn't have to fight with the fleece shifting or anything and I got it all sewn up in about 30 minutes. Now I like them (the blankets) again and will be making more for some inexpensive gifts to come this year. I have one more to do for next month, my god-son's and then I'm taking a break for a bit. I have the fleece for another blanket but the recipient's birthday isn't until August. I may just get it done just to have it done. We'll see. I still need to get the pillowcase fabric for the other two blankets. I really do like the sewn edges look better than the whole knotted business. I hope she likes it. I just have to package it up and get it in the mail this week. The green of the pillowcase is more of a limey green then what is in the blanket but they do look nice together.
I have been playing with my new sewing machine. I just LOVE it. So does Punkie. I think she was as excited as I was! LOL! I've been letting her sew on it. I work the foot petal and she moves the fabric around. Too cute.
That's all for now. Amelia is taking a nap so I'm going to take this break in the action to play on my sewing machine and finish up my swap items!
Enjoy your day!

That blanket is really cute. I haven't tried doing much with fleece beyond a scarf and that was trouble enough for me!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are enjoying your new machine. Nothin quite like it when it is all new and shiny. :o)
I love the pretty color combo! PRETTY. Husband was right?? Tee Hee, you gotta give them a tally mark every once in a while! LOL He sounds like a nice husband giving you an hour of escape to get busy on the project. :) Looks like a nice gift. Glad to hear you are working on your swap gift! :) The month is flying by isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYep sometimes husbands are right. They tend to think more logically than us...it's true..but they can seldom multitask it seems. The blankie is CUTE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gift! The matching pillowcase is the icing on the cake.
