ReniC Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) I like all of your WIP's! I'd like to make one of the mats but, my GD is staying with me temporarily and she is not the neatest person. She'd probably have the mat soiled in no time! LOL I'm still plugging along on the afghan for my other GD's birthday (tomorrow). She's aware that it's going to be late and doesn't mind. She picked out the color Real Teal and I picked out the pattern. It may be finished in a week to 10 days, then I'll ship it off to her.

We are our own worst critics. Keep up the great work and photos. I love seeing what you make. I'm searching for a cute little 1 inch bee pattern to sew onto a grocery bag holder I want to make for my DD. So far no luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I have a bumble bee in a book or pattern. If I come across a bee I’ll let u know. Maybe fridge pattern and then use lighter yarn to downsize it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NCcountrygal Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Well, looked at all the cute Appliques and then saw this cute bear-rag doll pattern and purchased it. Husband’s cousins daughter just had a baby girl. Now making a c2c blanket and will add a ( or more) appliques that I also bought from same Etsy store. Little Bamboo Handmade. And make her the 🐻. It’ll be a great pattern for charity gifting, too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tampa Doll Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 How did you make the red and black Buffalo check afghan? Was it double strands or what colors were called for? Love everything you are making.
