A bright blanket for a grey day

We've finally been getting some much needed rain around here. I just realized I have photos of the tree outside my window in winter and spring, so here's one for summer...

I have a feeling fall will be here in no time.

I've been busy working on a few more custom orders. One being a new bright pink, orange and yellow blanket. You can see my inspiration for my first blanket here.

I've finished all of the squares and have begun working them together. Here's a photo of the squares laid out, waiting to become a new blanket. Each square is different and each blanket is unique. I like that they are never exactly the same. Different is good.

Something to brighten your day

Hopefully this blanket will bring a little sunshine to your Friday!

 

I'm always happy when I finish up a project, but my mind is also racing towards the next. I wish my hands could work as fast as my brain sometimes. While searching for inspiration for this afghan, I came across a cute little girl's dress (also Lilly Pulitzer) that I'm going to use as my next muse. I already see the finished blanket. Still thinking spring over here at tillie tulip...

Ka-bam!

Well, here is the pile of squares for the latest blanket. An homage to Lilly Pulitzer (and some on-line imagery that screams spring and sunshine, among other things). Definitely need the sunglasses for this one.

Pam from Bates Mercantile Shop featured my blanket in her treasury! What a sweet and diverse grouping of items on Etsy. Thanks Pam!
