Lisa's Blankets

These are photos showing some of the blankets that I have made starting in 2004 (a new hobby for me). Most blankets show 2-3 photos; one showing the whole blanket, followed by one or more showing a close-up section of it. All the various patterns came from my own head, none are perfect but all are unique. Most of them are arranged with crocheted ones together and then sewn ones together and within that, I've tried to keep all the girl ones together and likewise with the boy ones. At the end are photos of the recipients using them.

The day after Christmas I used the remaining remnants from Kittren's bluejean quilt and added to my minky remnants and made this blanket for Ryan.  (I think blankets ended up being the most popular type of gift that Ryan received for Christmas.)

A unique blanket that's 4 layers of flannel stacked on top of each other and then sewn every 1/2 with parallel seams (2 quarters in each direction). Afterwards, cut up between each seam (of only the top 3 layers of flannel), ruffle the material up with your hands and wash.  The result is a thick, chenille-type feeling on top.

Afterwards, cut up between each seam (of only the top 3 layers of flannel), "ruffle" the material up with your hands and wash. The result is a thick, chenille-type feeling on top.

Close-up showing both sides.  The flapped over side is the back and shows the every 1/2 stitching.

The material I used to make this Gracie's Quilt of Many Colors is called minky chenelle.  It is incredibly soft!!!  I used remnants given to me from a (new) friend.  The blanket is rectangle although the way it's laying on the couch makes it appear hour-glass.

My display in my friend's shop. My items are on the two display racks to the left of the white-tiered shelves, plus I had a second baker's rack soon after with yet more items on it.

A few weeks later and my product line had grown.
