Dragonfly Blankie









After a poor attempt a few months ago {although it was done with LOVE} to make a satiny/flannel-y baby blanket for baby Luke, I tried it again. Well, this one turned out WAY better - sorry, Katie! I'll make you a new one if you want! I learned a few tricks, and of course have the MAGIC of a new Viking sewing machine. I even tried out a NEW STITCH that looks like this **** sort of. It was for one of L's YW leaders and her soon-to-be-born daughter. It's not perfect, either but again was made with LOVE. I hope the she-babe doesn't slide out of it, Lindsay! Thanks for the help, dear WeatherBEE!

  1. whatever dude! it was NOT a poor attempt. we love that blanket. we use it all the time. i love that it has a "warm side" and a "cool side". and a major plus is that i think of YOU dear sweet deon each time i use it. but anywho - good job on the progress nonetheless. you are a superstar.

  8. Deon, you are so nice! I love your blog, too!!! I just realized that I have the wrong blog address for you on my blog--sorry!!! I am kind of a blog dork when it comes to things like that. I really enjoy reading about what you are up to. We miss you!!!! I wish you could have met Mia!! I will have to just keep on putting pics of her up.

  9. That blanket is adorable. I've never tried a satiny side for a blanket. I need to learn how to do bindings better. Did you just machine stich yours, or did you do it by hand? It sounds like you just used your machine, which sounds a LOT easier!
