Handmade/Homemade



Christmas 2009 :: All gifts were made by hand :: I accepted crazymomquilts' challenge and made my mother a 9 patch quilt. It's not finished yet. I made my grandmother a ripple blanket from a thrifted bag of yarn. And I knitted my sister an infinity/cowl scarf. There were many other beautiful gifts made and received (and some IOUs). We're already preparing for next year!

Oh my gosh, these items are gorgeous. Wow! Have you thought about starting a quilting business on the side?????

Thanks! Right now I can only handle it as a hobby, but I would be open to making quilts on commission as long as I wasn't held to a quick turn around time ;) Maybe someday I can switch careers....

Thanks Philippa! I forget that people might actually read this thing. I should start posting more often.
