Wildflower Table Runner

My blankets are almost finished before Summer begins and I start on two more in the Fall.  Just have to quilt the train blanket and have that completed before next weekend.  So, I decided to start on some Spring projects.  Table runners are small and quick projects to complete.  The wildflower table runner is the first one.  I have two more started...need to add the embroidery.  There will be more as these items will be put up for sale in the local Artist Gallery in June.  Lots of ideas floating around in my head for items I would like to make.  Retirement is nice.  I am enjoying the creative time spent in my sewing room.

A Special Blanket - Mr. Dragon and Spider Man

I finished two more blankets.  These special blankets I made for my grandchildren.  I have one more to finish before I start on some "smalls" to sell in our local artist gallery.  I have many machine embroidery designs to choose from, but think I will start on some embroidery of Carolyn Shores Wright artwork available through Bettys Original Embroideries.

Dragon Blanket. This blanket is 59" x 73"
Spider Man Blanket.  This blanket is 52" x 75"
