Allison's blanket

Ok, so Nate bought me my very first sewing machine for my birthday...very early because I have lots to do in the next 5 weeks.

My first priority is Allison's baby blanket. All I've done so far is cut the pieces and lay them out in the anticipated pattern, as shown below:


Next, I have to figure out how to use the machine. Wish me luck! If the blanket looks good when it's all done, I'll post some pictures.

wow the blanket looks like it'll be way cute! Someday I'll get a sewing machine too and try to learn how to use it :)

I'm excited for you! You'll do great! It looks like it will mostly be straight lines, so just go slowly and follow the little line on the machine! I can't wait to see it. You're ambitious! Last time I sewed was for my Alice costume I think. We've been tying a quilt for our baby (that way Mike can help), but I certainly didn't piece anything!

I've wondered how you were doing since that last little announcement on your last Sunday in our ward! You're having another girl? Thats awesome! You are such a great mom!
