Ok, maybe you can't really tell but I thought the light looked cool. I was trying to get some photos of a picnic blanket I made for Handmade Parade. Right now I've got some cards and book clocks up for sale over there but next month will be picnic stuff.
Biscuit kindly did a test run and found the picnic blanket suitable for teddy bear picnics. Even the stripy back was okay.
The blanket is also foldable.
This is one of those projects that came out exactly like I wanted (after I had a fight with my sewing machine over the binding). I have been saving the thrifted sheets for ages (gee, do you think I like yellow?) and I love the stripy sheet on the back. The "batting" is a thrifted flannel sheet making this blanket a perfect weight for picnics. If it gets cold at your picnic, you can snuggle up. Not likely here as it's going to be ONE HUNDRED AND SIX degrees tomorrow. You'd think I'd be used to it. I live in a hot part of the country.
This is the first project in a while that I'm kinda hoping doesn't sell--I really like it--but I DO NOT need more quilts. Especially in 106 degree weather. So it'll be at Handmade Parade in a week or so.
Stay cool, wherever you are!
FABULOUS! Love it and the pics. Thanks so much for coming over tonight, it was so fun!
