Just a few days ago our very own Nicole- (suburban farmgirl) aka "texdane", blogged about the comfort of "throws". She posted a tutorial on how to make a double sided fleece "no sew" throw. Inspired, my daughter and I went and picked some fleece out at our local fabric store...Below are the pictures of our finished throw.Thank you again Nicole!

Hi Margo!
Glad to see you're "back"! Yes those are cute lil ole froggies! The throw was super simple to make (especially for me- the non sewer) and it came out too ca-ute!
Smiles,

That is really cute. I am also a non-sewer. I have ten thumbs when it comes to sewing. I really don't think I can do that. I like the froggies too.

Thanks girls! My daughter picked her fabric and is thrilled with her new blanket! I went back to the fabric store and bought a really pretty fleece and will be making another larger blanket for my monthly "Bingo" group gift/ Our theme for February is "Warm me up" so I thought this would make a cute gift, along with a pretty tea cup and some nice teas. Its these simple things in life, like taking the time to make pretty and useful things, that I enjoy the most. I love a simple life!

Laurie,
How did I miss this!?? So many months ago! I just found it or I would have responded before... I only found it now searching for something else. Oh my goodness, thank you. Aren't they fun to make? I love, love, love your froggie print! So cute! Great job!! It's beautiful. I made a couple more the last few months, myself. The last one was a smaller one for a new baby for my daughter's fourth grade teacher. She collects ladybugs, so I found a red and white ladybug print and a tie-dye red for the background. It came out so cute. I love the bright colors. Each one is so unique, it's fun to see how they turn out. And so easy, too, right? Thanks again for saying I inspired you. Made my day because all the farmgirls here inspire me so much!
Farmgirl Hugs!

I loved your work and the frogs are too cute. I have made several of these and people just love them, we actually fight over them at my house.

Thanks gals!
Nicole- You are so sweet- cant believe that you found this post after all these months. Yes, as soon as I read your blog about the fleece blankets my daughter and I ran out and got the material and started measurin' and cuttin'. She was very proud to basically make it by herself. I even made one for my monthly BINGO group gift and it was a BIG hit! So to say the least...YES you inspired me (as you so often do!) I too just love our farmgirl sisters- I am always learning something useful or fun from y'all!
Hugs,
~Laurie
