I have a new blanket ready for a fall show in November! These sweaters sat stacked together for months, awaiting some time on my calendar to put them together. This is “Night Garden.”
While I was sewing it, when our temps were a bit warmer, it evoked for me the feeling I have when my hubby and I sit out on our little street-facing balcony on a quiet evening, enjoy a glass of wine together and watch our neighbors walk with their spouses, their dogs, their babies.
Now that the weather is cooler, though, I just see “fall” all over this blanket. Funny how my feelings change through the seasons. We use our wool blankets all year long.
I was lucky enough to have my daughter and two of her wonderful college roommates agree to model, and even luckier that the rain stopped long enough for some photos. That their T-shirts serendipitously complemented the colors in the blanket — that was a bonus :)

Gorgeous, Joan! I think this is my favorite one so far! You are wonderfully gifted.
It is beautiful, of course, Joan! You are so very talented… I can always see your personal touch and style in your blankets.
So beautiful, as always. You have such a way with color and form. The poppies are perfect, the way they’re scattered across just the one section. Each new blanket is a joy to see. Thank you.
Beautiful girls and blanket!!
