Small Bible Cover:

   

This is a cover for a small bible crocheted with Cebelia and utilizing wide satin ribbon for the stays.  It was a gift for a friend. 

Grape Doily:

Made with Cebelia in ecru.  This large doily was donated to a charity auction. 

Bridal Bouquet:

           

Pinwheel:

       

Briar Rose:

       

If these look familiar, you might have seen them in the Annie's Attic Leaflet Beautiful Blossoms, by Carol Alexander & Brenda Stratton.  I do not have photos of all the projects, but I think I crocheted four of the model afghans featured in that particular leaflet.

Flower Kerchief for my Niece (My design)

Raw Squares

Special thanks to Janice Vickers for getting me a pink that would work for this project! It is all done in fine weight rayon chenille cone yarn.  I doubled the strands to get worsted weight.  This is a VERY heavy and wonderful throw.     It took approximately one pound of each color.  The pattern is from Vanna's Afghan's A to Z.  

American Flag:

Old Fashioned Garden:

I get more comments on this one than any other afghan I have ever made.  This is a pattern from the Leisure Arts leaflet of the same name.  It is also printed in the Home Sweet Home Afghans book, except that the name is changed to Pretty Posies. :-)  The only modification I made was I added additional rows to make it fit a queen sized bed.
