    Smile I love this, and I know my mom would too...

    ...maybe if I start practicing a LOT, I can make it for her for NEXT Christmas

    Those are so pretty & you will be able to do those before long.
    Keep on practicing & you'll be buying bunches of yarn along with fq's, lol.

    Ugh...I know Darlene...I have too many interests now!

    I think, though, that once I'm done with Christmas gifts that I'm going to take a break from quilting and focus on sewing and crochet.

    (I say this as I'm remembering that FQ's are $.99 in a week or two at Joann's! )

    The 2nd afghan is an easy one Chelle, you could be doing that one very soon.

    Yes, I think you could do that in a chenille yarn. Just by looking at the picture of the Bernat yarn (Illusions) used that might be thier version of chenille. I don't use Bernat yarns very often. They just recently became popular in my area so are just now becoming widely available, but they are very expensive.

    Check on Yahoo groups for a co-op, you should be able to get it much cheaper. That afghan in my area would cost around $50-$60 to make!

    They are beautiful Chelle, you'll be doing them in no time flat! Chenille yarn is very expensive here as well at $6.97 a skeen at wal-mart I only get to buy it during Christmas when we have a little bit extra.

    Very pretty and the patterns don't look to be very hard. I don't know about in your area but here yarns go on sale in February. If you get them on sale you could work on them for Christmas next year.

    I'm thinking I may be able to get them with my 40 or 50% JA discount (if they carry it there)
