One of my former 4-H sewing members (she aged out) is now an adult friend. She is pregnant and I was asked to help her make a baby blanket. She bought and cut out the microfleece squares ahead of time.
When she brought them over I asked if she wanted to make a Rag Quilt out of it (in the past I usually made them out of flannel), but since the baby is due in January this will be warm and extra soft and she agreed. So, we basted two layers of each square together, sewed them so the ‘seam’ was on top. Then we used small scissors to clip the fringe.
The finished blanket was a hit!
After the baby is born we will embroider her name onto the blanket.
What have you worked on lately? Later – H
