fun stripes
my semester is finally coming to an end. i am so looking forward to a few weeks off.
i discovered a window of time that i can work on a few of the projects in my head. on wednesdays the kiddies spend much of the day with their homeschool group. after lunch while the thisbe and magnus are in art class and bron is down for a nap, i have an hour and a half of free time. i had been using that time to study but i found myself daydreaming about projects i want to make. so i have dedicated that hour and a half to quilting or whatever else i feel inclined to do. this really only amounts to a little over an hour of craft time due to the setting up and taking down part. but that is an hour i didn't have before. it's also a hassle to have to lug my sewing machine with me and supplies needed to their school, but it's well worth it.
this is the first of two blankets i've been working on. the second one uses the same fabrics and will be very similar. i pieced the front and back, sandwiched in some cozy flannel, and quilted some stripes. this is such a nice swaddling weight. i love the drape and it folds up small enough to fit in the diaper bag. i plan on using this one as a gift and maybe the other one too. i know quite a few pregnant ladies who all are having boys this winter and spring.
