Schedule of Shows for this Fall

I have decided to try a few festivals this year with my blankets. I will start off with the Burke Fall Festival on September 12th and 13th at the Burke Conservancy in Burke, VA. This should be fun but it may still be a little warm for people to be thinking about fleece blankets.


Then two weeks later I am taking part in a Breast Cancer Fund Raiser and Craft Show in Remington, VA. I have put together about 40 breast cancer survivor blankets for this. We also donate one of the survivor blankets for auction to help raise money.


Then October 3rd I am taking part in Art on the Avenue in Alexandria, VA. This is a big craft and art show. I am looking forward to this. I have a few friends that insist this will be a big show.

Then the following week I will be going to Front Royal, Virginia to take part in the Festival of Leaves up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. That should be a lot of fun. It is lovely little town at the North End of Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park.


I am also scheduled for the Fairfax Holiday show on November 21 and 22 and the Wakefield Holiday Craft show on December 5 and 6.


So all in all it could be a very busy fall.


Hope to see you at one of these.

Tinkerbelle

I had a request from a friend to make a Tinkerbelle blanket for his daughter as a surprise gift. And the next day another friend asked if I made any Tinkerbell blankets. So I found this material and made two blankets over the weekend for them. Reports are very positive. One report is that the granddaughter was mad because she could not take it outside to play with (it was 90 degrees). They turned out nice. Great for little girls.

Two more Blankets for Co-Workers

I recently completed two blankets for co-workers. They both turned out very nice.

New Breast Cancer Survivor Blanket

I found a nice new fabric for another Breast Cancer Survivor Blanket. It is a nice pink material with sayings and ribbons on it in red and white. The reverse is a light pink fleece. It turned out very nice so I made two for the Breast Cancer Fund Raiser and Craft show I am taking part in on September 26th in Remington, Virginia. Should be a fun event and we should raise some awareness and money for the one of the charities here.

Here is a photo of detail of the material:

Fly Fishing Blanket

I recently received an order for a blankets to be given as an award for a group going to Canada on a fishing trip. They ordered two blankets. One was an award for the best catch and a lobster blanket for the boss who says she just loves lobster! From what I am told they both loved the blankets. Here is a photo of each:
