Comments (6)Vala, even if you cannot crochet, you can still make a nice blanket. First be sure to wash and put in the dryer the fabric you will use to preshrink it, and then iron it. You sew two squares together and be sure to round the corners--I use a saucer to trace a nice corner. Then sew them together, and trim the seam allowance thinner. Then turn it right side out and blind sew close the hole you left for turning it inside out. Now you can sew on blanket binding tape in cotton or satin OR you can use embroidery floss and do a blanket stitch around the edge. If you want, you can sew one stitch in the body of the blanket with the embroidery floss and cut it off with 1 to 1 1/2 inch tails. Tie a tight double knot, and trim the tails to 3/4 of an inch. Put just a few of these stitches evenly spaced on the blanket, much like you will see done with an old fashioned quilt, but it isn't necessary if you don't want to do it.

Comments (9)I agree: if you love it, hang it and enjoy it. trailrunner, we have an oil in the same, naive style as yours. Ours evokes the same happy feeling that I get when looking at your piece. In ours, there's a black family sitting on the front porch of their house. The bit of house you can see shows that it's sided with asbestos shingles. The family members are playing instruments, including a guitar, harmonica, and a washtub that's being struck with a wooden spoon. The family dog sits at the bottom of the steps, enjoying the concert. We were at a street fair, and a man was selling posters of his wife's oils, including one of this piece. I fell in love with it - so we went to their home, where we bought the original oil. Anyway, back to the OP - kahlanne, congrats on your haul! Isn't it great when you find art you love at great prices?...See MoreWhat I scored today!
Comments (5)Today we went to a gardening yard sale of a friend who is moving. I scored a very long plant stand that I've wanted a long time for the porch, and three very large terracotta planters (she buys good quality stuff) on which to go crazy with mosaic. I can't wait until I have time to mosaic again. When they finished renovating our basement bathroom they left oodles of sanded ground and said they'd bring the rest of left over ground from any project by instead of throwing it away! Free grout for life! GGG...See More- 9 years ago
