I got the new feet ordered for my sewing machine and some more fabric order also. Now I have to be patient. And patience is not my strong suit. So as I'm trying to find something to do. My oldest son comes over for a visit. I showed him what I got done so far. And he informed me he wants a manly blanket with the same designs. Now one thing you can't tell in these pictures is these are done with Mylar therefore it looks like I have use metallic thread. So I proceeded to ask him what would make it a manly blanket. He says make it with browns and creams in all of those rustic colors. So I asked him if he wanted it without the shiny stuff. And he informed me he wants the shiny stuff because "Metal is manly". So I guess it's not going to be difficult for me to stay busy. This is what I've done so far. Do y'all think this is manly enough. Lol. My son cracks me up.

In these pictures the dark brown looks green because of the Mylar behind it.

Yes it is wonderful. And more wonderful still is he will give me constructive criticism. I love that he shares his options. And I often bounce ides of of him. We have very different taste in styles. So I use him to expand my creativeness. And he happily obliges.

It will look great once it's all together PT (petitetexan). I'm glad your son loves what you do too. Love Chris, Newcastle, Australia.
