I’m finding that fighting my sewing machine is much easier than fighting traffic and crowds of people. I’m thinking it might be entirely possible for me to actually become a hermit. That being said, the Handmade Santa strikes again with an adorable fleece blanket. I wanted to do something more creative than the new sew, tie edges that a lot of people do with fleece. I also wanted to get much more creative with my binding than matching green, pre-made quilt binding but again, we’ve already discussed my schedule. So using some Sweet Pea fleece I purchase from Jo-Ann’s last year and 3 packages of quilt binding I made a blanket.

In an effort to be slightly more creative I did use a different thread for my bobbin, so there’s green on the top and pink on the bottom. I’m pleased with this giant blanket and it’s even mommy sized at approximately 60″ x 72″. I’m planning ahead, I assume my child will grow. Now if I can just get motivated to finish the rest of the Christmas items I’m trying to make….
