The baby shower was last night, so I can now share what I've been working on. Two grandsons are coming and I'm sooooo excited.

Recently a reader named Betty sent me some pictures of her lovely blankets that she made following my tutorial. I was so tickled! With Betty's permission, I just have to share her pictures with you!
