Thanks to football and hockey the last couple nights … this Shell Stitch crochet blanket is done and the Vikings and Bolts both won!
Pattern is found free on Ravelry at this link.

And look … Christmas came early for me!! Tish from my HeartStrings group sent me another big box of pieced backings. She is such a blessing to our group providing perfectly pieced and pressed backings for those of us who quilt a lot of the group quilts. I can’t tell you how much time it saves me to just grab a top and one of her backings and get to work!

The blanket is oh so pretty! A box of backings ready to go??? What a fantastic gift!
Such a pretty collection of backs to use for Heartstrings. The texture and colors in the blanket are just gorgeous. I really like the texture of that stitch.
Wow Tish does one of my least favorite things. Accurate ironing of a back with no distortion and no embedded wrinkles is a task for me. She is a blessing.
The blanket is one I love for someone else. I appreciate how good they look together and own some pink and gray but wouldn’t decorate with it.
That is a real gift! The blanket turned out really pretty too!
SEW sweet and a wonderful selection of prints, too!
