"Barnyard Happenings" Days of the Week flour sack towels.


I've been doing some embroidery work!

"Barnyard Happenings" Days of the Week flour sack towels. 





I thought I would share my pictures with yall since there aren't very many finished pictures of these out there to reference. I do hope these help someone.


Here they are individually: (click on any of them to embiggin.)

















The quality of these pictures are as good as my little feeble skills can muster. Sorry.

I hope you enjoy!

Aimee's Camouflage Rag Quilt


So my friend Aimee sent me a picture on facebook of a camo rag quilt and said "I WANT" Im a sucker so I caved and made her one. 

I went with 7 inch blocks and with 1/2 inch seam allowances, these are 6 inch finished blocks. The square of flannel that is in between is cut to 6 inch squares to avoid the seams.

The whole blanket measured 55x60 inches.



Here is the finished blankie. Aimee loves it!




Here is a close up.

I went with cotton fabric and the batting is a square of flannel.

The fabric came from this store: http://stores.ebay.com/Fabrics-From-The-Heart?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

And for those of you who need some help making one of these, here is a great tutorial:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0UQgeol-Zk
