New Pink Ribbon Blanket and Pink Ribbon Shops

I have a lot of new blankets made from the Breast Cancer Plaid with Pink Ribbons. They are very soft and make a wonderful gift for those loved ones who are breast cancer survivors.

I am hoping these will be displayed in the near future on a Breast Cancer Awareness online store. One I am trying too work isthe Pink Ribbon Shop and another is The Breast Cancer Site Store..

Two New Designs Totals Six For Breast Cancer Survivor Blankets

I have been working on some new blankets the last couple of weeks. Two of the new blankets are Breast Cancer Survivor blankets. Each of these takes new meaning for my family, as my wife's sister was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. She under went a lumpectomy this week and got great results. My family now has three survivors. My Aunt Marjorie, my sister Julie and my sister-in-law Kathy. Here are the two new blankets for Breast Cancer Survivors.



This brings the different designs for Breast Cancer Survivor Blankets that I make to six. My favorite so far is the embroidered Rose and Ribbon blanket on light pink. The material is difficult to get but it is worth it.

The other four are show below again.

Breast Cancer Survivor Blankets

I finished a total of four of the Breast Cancer Survivor Blankets from my last post and they were gone in a couple of days. So I have ordered material to make five more and may end up repeating that order again. These blankets are very popular and are very nice.

The quality of the material is outstanding.

Busy Weekend with Results

This weekend was a very busy weekend. I setup 10 blankets to work on over the next week or so on Friday night and Saturday after I got in a round of golf. I started working on blankets Saturday afternoon and just sort of continued until after the NCAA semifinal games were done. And then again yesterday.

I finished a couple blankets that have already been shown on here and three new ones that I will show here. The first one is a print of wild horses. A couple people have asked about blankets featuring horses, So I made one. The two views that follow are a standard quarter view folded and a quarter view with the reverse revealed by turning up the corner. This blanket is a standard twin bed size (48" x 74").

I recently saw some really nice Breast Cancer Awareness (Survivor) material with embroidered roses and ribbons on a pink background, so I ordered enough to make several blankets. I had just finished making two Breast Cancer Survivor blankets (for relatives) and wanted to make a few more. These all turned out very nice. Each blankets is done with a matching light pink reverse side. I completed four of these this weekend and have one left to complete. One is already spoken for by a friend where I work. These are a little smaller than my normal size blanket. Each of these is around 66" long by about 48" wide. A nice size for most ladies. Below are two photos of one of the four finished this weekend.

Two weeks ago I found some cute material for toddlers with embroidered teddy bears on it. I have three of these. I have only completed one and will finish the other two this week. These blankets are more for the baby and or toddler. I am trying a new material for the reverse side on these. This material is called whisper fleece. It is a thick long napped material that is very soft. These may be the softest blankets I have made to date. When done, I will have a blanket with a baby blue reverse, a mint green reverse, and a white reverse. The two photos below show the quarter view and a closeup of on of the embroidered teddy bears.

Breast Cancer Survivor Blankets

As I mentioned in my last post, I made a couple blankets that I mailed as gifts and would post pictures of them after they were received. Well, my aunt and sister got their blankets yesterday.

I made my Aunt Marjorie and Sister Julie these blankets. Both are survivors and I wanted them both to know how much we all love them and respect them. Here are a couple pictures of those blankets.
