Man all the babies running around here i figure hey why not get Mom busy, she's been a bit down the last couple months and a few weeks ago one of her friends asked her to make a quilt for one of her friends that was expecting and for her time and expenses paid her $25
now mom has been doing this for several years but since we lost Dad she needs something to do and God knows we can use the extra money.

i showed Diane a few pics a week or so ago and she just loved the "little piggies" Mom had already made. Matt in Kansas has her currently making a twin size "FindingNemo" for his little girl and a baby size "puppies" for her to just drag around and cuddle with

now if i could get Diane to post some of the pics i emailed her

just tell us baby,twin,full boy or girl and what theme if you have something specific in mind

They are simply adorable!
Here are a couple pictures Glen sent me. The first one, the little piggies, I took at my house.
I'm going to give it to a co-worker for her baby shower.

I love the color of the froggies and duckies one.

ebay

Setup an account on ebay and list them on there.

I bet you could keep mom busy then and maybe make some good cash.

shes been doing this as a hobby for several years, but since Dad passed we need the extra cash and more importantly she needs the work to keep her mind off things

jimbo74 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 09, 2006, 06:46:41 PM »

now is that fabric cost? or assembled cost? also yards are 3 feet, are you talking square yards? or linear or what? what if say i wanted liek a lets make the math easy, but a 72"x72" blanket, if my math is correct, thats 4 sq yards, right?

A square yard is 9 square feet...3 feet square. 72 x 72 is 36 sq ft or 4 sq yrds. Most fabric is sold by the running yard and is usually about 52 inches wide.

depends on the material

usually its somethin like $25 per yard made, depending on what the material costs are

but biggerblankets require more work obviously

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #23 on:** Jul 09, 2006, 06:54:49 PM »

and Mom is doing the work so she sets the price but like i said when i tell her its for someone from the Marlin board she knocks her price down alot

i know she quotes somebody $75 for a twin size a few weeks ago,

Lady Di · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 06, 2007, 02:31:52 PM »

It's a New Year... and Glen's mom is still at it.
Thought I'd give this a bump back up in case anyone is interested

How about campfire blankets with marlin turtles on them.. You know the kind I mean Tough heavy materals to stand up to sitting next to a fire on logs and stones..
A camping blanket.. wear it at night by the fire uses it as a wrap when the Wimmin make you get up in the cold and starting the fire so they can go sit be it and be warm..

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 06, 2007, 08:57:12 PM »

I can get baby blankets at wal-mart TOO. That's not the point.. I can't get a Marlin

blanket at walmart.

Maybe make it out of corduroy and denim with a big turtle sewn on the back.

MAybe it could turn into a real cottage industry, with mom running a little shop hiring a couple people to help sew them, and selling them right on the Marlin website. Think about it CUSTOM

Blankets from Marlin himself.

OH I almost forgot.. The pocket on the inside for a whisky flask or beer bottle.

Got to have a little something to warm the bones after a cold (fun) day at flat nasty in the rain.
