Choosing one of the softest, most well behaved blankets in my stash I cut out a baby buggy/knee rug/bean bag snuggler sized blanket. One of my favourite vintage sheets was selected for the backing - actually it was an opened out pillowcase and it decided the size for the blanket. Too easy.
The plan is to embroider a few sweet little embroideries in random squares on the blanket and hand quilt it to the backing. A simple project, but one I imagine is going to be quite time consuming with a little bit done here and there as a nice distraction when needed.
I wonder if crafting procrastination is a global phenomanon?

ReplyDeleteCrafting is definitely a global procrastination .. I have 2 coats cut ready to sew, a couple of softies that need finishing and a pair of trousers sans waistband - not to mention the washing that piled high and the general mess... so this evening I sewed up a pencil roll. Procrastination at its best!
ReplyDeletei think crafting procrastination is very common - sometimes i even think it might be part of the creative process! well, that's what i tell myself anyway :) love the idea of a mini blanket embroidered and hand-quilted.
