I think afghans are my favorite to make.
I usually work on my cross stitch in the summer and save
the afghans for the winter time. There is nothing like
curling up under an afghan! I have only sold 1 afghan,
all of the others, I have given away. I love making them,
then afterwards, I'm stumped as to what to do with them.
I believe that every member of my family has at least 1...if
not 2 of my afghans! They make great Christmas gifts. I
have made a few baby afghans for friends too. On this page you will see the afghans I've made
within the past 2-3 years. I never thought to photograph
them before, so many are lost. These are thumbnails. Just
click on the one you would like to see a larger version
of. It will open in a seperate window that you can close
to return here.

After not crocheting for many
years, this was the first afghan I made. I made
it for my aunt & uncle one Christmas. It fits
their king-size bed like a spread This is several
panels of solid afghan stitch, popcorn afghan
stitch and afghan stitch with roses cross
stitched in. |

| This thing is
huge! Here it is spread over a sofa...and I still
didn't get it all in the picture! |
Here's my
heart...
 |
This is my
favorite of all I've ever made. And it was, by
far, the most difficult. It is made up of 9
panels...not including the center or ruffle. Each
panel is 2 different colors and stitchs. The
ruffle is approx. 6". After it is completed,
you crochet the roses and leaves for the center.
|
| I think the most enjoyable
part about this one is after it is completed and
you embellish it with different laces and
whatever else you want. I bought several types of
lace and buttons, doileys and appliques. I then
laid it out on my bed and spent nearly 2 hours
placing and rearranging the items. Then placed
the other embellishments. After pinning it all
into place, it is sewed by hand with invisible
thread. |
