Two completed projects


Well, I had hoped for more completions this month, but I will probably have to settle for these two.

One completion is a crocheted towel. A friend had made me one a few years ago and I liked it, so I got the pattern and made another. It works well to hang on the handle under the kitchen sink.

I also got the baby quilt done for my niece, who is scheduled for a C-Section on February 2. They are having a little boy, and the theme for his room is sporty type stuff. I found this cute flannel a while back, and I am not fond really of working with flannel, but it was too cute to pass up, so I bought it, and then found other fabrics to go with it.

  3. Very cute quilt and towel too. You are doing better than me. You know how much I usually finish but for some reason this month I've mostly just started stuff. That needs to change.
