Rag Quilt


Attached is a photo of my completed rag quilt for a friend's daughter's birthday. I selected coordinating fabric from the Debbie Mumm line at Joann's Fabrics. I cut six inch squares and used a layer of pink flannel for the center and back layers. I washed it once at the laundromat without any detergent and then took it home to dry. It came out so cute!

Ribbon-Edged Cardigan

I just completed the Ribbon-Edged cardigan from the Debbie Bliss book, "Special Knits" for a friend's daughter in size 12-24 months. I used five balls of Zitron Ecco yarn in the color Taupe (106) and added an ivory trim and shell buttons to accent the garment. I blocked the garment before adding the trim using invisible thread.
