Daisy square - from ravelry.com

I really felt that this Daisy square was going to stump me. It took a couple of attempts to get it right...but when I finally mastered the patter, it turned out amazing. I found the pattern at Ravelry.com. It's free but the square designer will only give you the pattern if you agree to send a completed square to her. She combines squares from everyone and creates blankets for charity.

Here is my square. I love it so much I'm going to make a whole afghan out of the same colors. Maybe I'll use it as a raffle gift for the breast cancer fundraiser next year.

Pillowcases are fun and easy...

I've decided that pillow cases are just about the most fun thing to make with all of the beautiful fabric that's available. Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed at all of the beautiful fabric and don't know what to do with it all. The answer...pillowcases.

With 3/4 yard of the pretty stuff, and 1/4 yard of contrasting fabric..you have custom pillowcases. They make great gifts and you can even wrap gifts up in them. I made pillowcases with multiple kinds of breast cancer fabric for my 3-Day team last year and everyone loved them.

This is my latest one. Wish I would have taken pictures of all the others. I'll be better about that in the future.
