Needlework Update - July, 2026

Good morning,

Welcome to the current Needlework Update! This is where we share needlework items completed since the last update.

Above is my signature original afghan blanket design in my favorite colors: New Large Afghan Blanket in Shades of Blue and White. It was hard to put this one in the shop rather than keep it for ourselves. $185. Only one available. More images and information are here.

This is a favorite, too. The Blue and The Gray Lap Blanket will be welcomed by a man or a woman. $65. More images and information here.

What a lovely gift for a student going off to school. This one happens to be in Georgetown colors. There are other colors in the shop, too.

See more afghan blankets in many sizes here.

This is a lovely baby shower or first birthday gift. The turtle is all crocheted together with no loose parts. The blanket is warm, yet airy enough to use as a breastfeeding cover-up. $65 for the set. More here.
