This is my second project after getting back into fiber arts (June 2002?). It's a collaboration with my grandma and she did most of the hard work.

I took squares and rectangles my grandma had crocheted in acrylic, worsted-weight yarn for two different projects that she never finished. I wove in the ends, cussing copiously - lol, and sewed the blocks together. I didn't know much about joining piecework at the time, and whipstitched the pieces, but it still turned out well. When you start out with quality, it's hard to go wrong .

Oops! I realized after posting this that not all of the ends had been woven in when this photo was taken - more cussing followed . But the ends were all woven by the time it was put into action.

And Julian got a blanket collaboratively made by his Aunt Laura and his Great-Grandma Hueil! I doubt he thinks about it much, but I'm awfully glad to have been able to share in making a project with my grandma, and to have been inspired by her to get back into fiber arts!

Thanks for looking.
