Blanket weather

The past few weeks have definitely constituted 'blanket weather' in my opinion and it seems that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

So, with the cat making the most of one fleecy blanket, I have begun work on a new appliqué design to make some more. To date I have tried elephants, birds and butterflies. This new design is inspired by a couple of young sea scouts that I know, who happen to have birthdays approaching...

I'm pretty excited and pleased with progress to date and hope to bring you a full set of photos in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I'd better get back to cutting and sewing...
