 Hand crocheted wavy American flag......we love making and selling these in our shop. Each flag measures 45 inches wide by 60 inches long. These can be machine washed and dried but we recommend laying flat to dry. Everyone will be wanting one just like yours. You can find these in our shop at rustycupboard.square

 Finally got the throw, blanket or wall hanging done.  This can be used as any of them.  I purchased a panel and added fiberfill and backing.  I began to hand quilt stitch all around different objects.  As I hand quilted it made the picture become dimensional.  So love the bright colors in it.  Love these kinds of things for the holidays and enjoy doing the hand work.  It relaxs me and I then enjoy what is created when I am done.  Notice how the pumpkins stand out here as I finished working on them.  I try to make the back as pleasing as I can but still work my way through all three thicknesses. Fall is beginning to arrives so I took the throw out and placed in one of my rod iron rocking chairs for the pictures.  The sun was shining and it was just a beautiful day to take pictures in.

our pinwheel afghan throw...it measures 40 inches x 54 inches...but as you know hand crocheted items will stretch just a little so could measure differently after some use.....there are 24 large pinwheels and 15 small squares...making a very nice sized throw....this can be machine washed but we recommend laying flat to dry....if you have any more questions feel free to ask...

 Decided to make a afghan/throw/blanket for Valentines Day.  I chose the criss cross stitch and was off....for Valentines I chose the white, rose petal, and shocking pink rose.  This was a fairly easy one for me and I enjoyed just watching TV and working it up.  Funny, when I was done I told hubby everyone of these stitches I put into this.  It measures about 50"x60" and as everyone knows crocheting stretches. We always recommend washing on cold and laying flat to dry.  We have found that the dryer causes the yarn to get fuzzies...so laying flat to air dry the yarn stays the same.  Will be pretty in any room.  Now, on sell in our Etsy shop...at www.etsy.com/shop/rustycupboard....
