Here is the ripple blanket. I shall be returning to this soon as it is so very nearly finished.
Last week I received a beautiful parcel. The lovely Hen is a regular customer of mine and has the most wonderful taste in fabric. After seeing her latest creations I wondered if she would like to do a swap instead of buying fabric. Luckily for me she said yes and I am now the proud owner of one of her delicious cushions.
I love it even more because it contains some of my favourite fabrics, that I have only shared with Hen, so I get them back, in beautiful cushion form, hooray!

Hi Donna....I love the blanket...xxx
your crochet blanket brings back fond memories of my Mom, I am fortunate to have quite few of her creations!
Hey Donna,
Love the colours in your new blanket. I do hope you finish the ripple as that looks yummy too. Well, I'm honoured you have one of my cushions and it is made from the most wonderful fabric, after all! I did promise to take a photo to show you what fabrics I'm running low on (I do appreciate that such is their provenance that you may not necessarily have more) and I will take the photo - soon!
Love Hen x
pillows and afghans all gorgeous! I especially love that multi colored striped ripple. :-)
Blankets are looking super Donna. Great swapping idea..Hen's cushions are just lovely!
Your blog is lovely, and I hope you do not mind, but I have added it to my blogroll. :) xxx

Donna a love the joining together as you go along idea. Your little blanket looks fab,and I love the basket too!
Love the blanket Dons, I am not very good at joining together as I go along by crochet - you will have to show me. The cushion is lovely too.
One day, I might just be nearly as good as you!
I love the blankets and cushion - all the colours are just perfect. Don't you just hate it when you find a gorgeous vintage cushion or blanket but one of the colours is jarrs horribly?
Thank you for your lovely, lovely words to me on my blog. They mean so much to me :-)
Sounds like a good swap to me! Love your blankets, I really need to learn how to crochet!
Well, being lucky enough to be able to see your work 'in the flash' I'd like to add that the yarns you use adds to the specialness of your work. The blankets are amazing to touch - your family is going to have a lovely time snuggled under them......
The cushion is soooo beautiful, Donna. Looking forward to seeing it for real.

Spookily spooky! I just did a little entry on my own blog about the very same Lucy that you have! And your crochet is lovely too ...
Hi there Donna.....has your friend got a company called the Woodchip Boutique?
I think its the same lady.....she is featured on my blog, if its the same lady....
I went to the Didsbury Vintage fair on Saturday...x
Love your crochet work! I love the colours you have chosen as well, so pretty. And what a very pretty cushion, no wonder you are hoarding that fabric, it's so pretty.
