I always try to include some sewn blankets with my knitted donations for The Preemie Project. I spent most of the day cutting and sewing ten small (20"x20") blankets for the December babies.
These blankets are simple to make:
Cut two pieces of fabric one inch larger than you want the finished blanket to be. Sew together, right sides facing, leaving an opening large enough to turn the blanket right side out. Finish with some top stitching. I used a decorative scallop satin stitch.
Aww. How cute. You must be wracking up the good kharma points! ;)
ReplyDeleteAWW those are adorable! Sorry I haven't emailed you yet! I hope that all is well. I've still been reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou do such wonderful things for the Preemie Project. It's easy to see this has touched your soul. What darling blankets for the Season.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are great! They will look so sweet with the caps and booties.
ReplyDeletegreat blankies! Love all the little hat and booties you made. Your finished cardi is awesome! Looks great on you too : )
ReplyDeleteMy local Knitting Guild meeting was last night and they asked about what charities we were going to support in '07. I talked about the Preemie Project. I don't know if they will take it on but eventually I will knit something even if they don't. I hear they have donated to our local children's hospital here but am not really sure how much. So maybe I will start the trend here!
ReplyDeleteThe charity work you do is awesome. The blankets are so cute.
ReplyDeletePrecious prints on the blankies! Did you use flannel? I love those sorts of receiving blankets, and the seasonal prints you chose are just darling.
