FINALLY got going

I have finally got going on my first sewing project! I am making a remembrance blanket for my mother and hope to be done by Mothers day. After my dad passed away 5 years ago she gave me some of his favorite shirts to make her a blanket and I could just never bring myself to cut them up. Recently I saw a similar blanket for a friend and saw how much comfort and peace it give him and decided I was being selfish and my mom would really enjoy this - so cutting and sewing up a storm!
