April 2011 Drawing Afghan


Vaylene Perry was the winner of the April drawing.  She wanted a red and white baby afghan.  I think it turned out great and hope she will enjoy it. I completed this blanket in just over a week...not to bad :)

April Drawing Afgan

So, the winner of my April drawing was Vaylene Perry.  She was able to choose the colors and pattern of her afghan.  This is what she decided on.  I did not like this pattern the first time I used it, but after 2 or 3, it's alot easier to do now.  I will post pictures when it is complete.
