That's beautiful!! Great job.
Wonderful blanket. You mom must be proud of you.
I'm trying to do that stitch right now and having a hard time with it. I will be successfull. My daughter and I (along with a church group) are making lap robes for veterans in hospitals and those returning home
Just read your post on Easter. Hope your day was good.
