I've been busy!

First, I'd like to announce my new Etsy shop!  YAY!  I finally did it!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/MerryMadeStudio

I have spent most of the last 3 months sewing and quilting to fill the Etsy shop and to finish up some projects for family and friends. I decided to tally up what I've made so far this year (since January 10). Whew!  I've been busy!  Current tally:

3 crocheted afghans (1 is in the Etsy shop)
2 pot holders
2 embellished towels
23 microwave bowl cozies (12 are in the Etsy shop)
1 apron
1 table runner
3 Quilts Of Honor of my own dsign
10 panel Quilts Of Honor
10 dust covers with accessory pockets (4 covers went to the Etsy shop)
7 tote bags
7 quilts (for the Etsy shop)
2 fabric baskets (for the Etsy shop)
2 terrycloth bunnies

WHEW!  And there's still more to come!

A crocheted afghan backed with fleece...

One of my kids is learning to crochet so I helped put together the squares after they were finished.  I then backed the crocheted "patchwork" with fleece so it'd be extra warm.  

Camo and pink for a little grand-niece. 

The fleece back. 

Combining two techniques...

Different things going on in my sewing room...

 I made a crocheted baby afghan and then backed it with fleece. The fleece is  the blue and green zigzag - a remnant of a fleece blanket from Walmart.  The blanket was cheaper than buying a yard of fleece fabric, and it matched the crocheted afghan perfectly. 

 

 

I am making some kitchen items for a couple people who have decorated their kitchens with red and black.  I bought 2 fat quarter bundles at Walmart in the colors and will be using them for various items.  In this photo is the first microwave potholder bowl.
