Incoming!

Yay - blankets are starting to come in and each one is so unique!  I'm trying to imagine the little babies who will be swaddled up in these - awwww...

The weather in East TN continues to be hot and humid and gives me just a tiny hint of what it is like in Haiti.  OK, I need to add at least 15 degrees and more humidity to get a reasonable facsimile but I did say just a hint!

Knowing that fabric can be expensive these days, try asking around about fabric stashes that folks have tucked away.  Also check out thrift shops where a lot of these unused treasures end up.  Another great idea is to hunt down pretty printed cotton sheets at garage sales.  As long as they are unstained, you can get a lot of yardage for very cheap.

Keep the blankies coming and happy sewing!!
