July Wedding Gift #2: Placemats

My second July wedding was in Naperville, Illinois. And it was beautiful—the church had stained glass windows and clear glass skylights, it felt open and bright and rich with history. The reception was in a garden-hidden banquet hall. They used two different shades of green from their colors.

Flying Geese Baby Blanket

I’ve entered a new phase—most of my friends are starting to have babies (and if they’re not having babies, they’re talking about it). This means that the baby blanket frenzy is about to begin! I’ve made several in the past, you’ve probably seen the Pink Lemonade Chevron blanket for sweet Eliana. And if you follow my Instagram it’s possible you’ve seen others as well. I imagine this space will begin to see more and more—which is exciting because I love making them!

Coasters: Mini Jellyroll Race

When I bought the green material with words on it, I had no idea I’d be using it in a wedding gift about six years later.
