I enjoy crocheting blankets, I haven't had the time lately to get any done the last one I made was for my DD's Confirmation. I did 3 different colors and put a cross in the middle and attached little beads that were Biblical onto certain squares.
I should find it and post a pic. of it here

If you have pics. of your work, please feel free to share, would enjoy seeing your masterpieces!

I've shown this before, but I'm not above showing off again This one is for Bob's bed. I haven't started on Jamie's, but will have to start it soon, if I hope to have it ready for when he has a bed, lol.

I have crocheted baby blankets. I also made fleece blankets with matching pillow cases for both my girls in the past. They were super simple. Just buy the fleece and sew the silky edging around the edges! They have gotten tons of compliements on them over the years.

I do fleece blankets and I quilt baby blankets. I love quilting but I do not have enough ability / patience to make the large scaled ones. Baby blankets are perfect!

I crochet and sew, In the past I have made lap quilts for my gmil, mil and my gram- mil and gram are now in glory.

I have crocheted so many baby blankets I can't remember.

Each one of my boys has a afghan size granny square blanket that was used in their cribs/toddler beds.

Last year I crocheted a king size granny blanket for our bed.

This year I crocheted a king size blanket for my parents for christmas, its a seashell stitch I guess that is what its called, now I am working on a full size for oldest ds's bed and as soon as I get it done I will make a twin size exactly the same for youngest ds. All of these are for christmas 2008!!

I did a long no-sew Cleveland Browns fleece blanket for my SO last Christmas. It was very easy and cost me about $30 for material (which seems like a lot to me). It was worth it though. He LOVES it!

I still can't figure that out.

I quilt a little, but haven't in a while. They're all nine-patch variations, tho, b/c my patience and free time does not allow for intricate stitching at the moment.
