The baby in this blanket is one that Merilee got when she was just 6 or 8 years old.
I made the lap quilt below for my mother. I wrote a poem to go with it.
Long Distance Hug
I made this little lap quilt filled with blue skies and bouquets,
I added summer sunshine to brighten wintery days.
Each stitch was made while missing you;
Each stitich was made with love;
So, when you wrap it snug around you -
I am giving you a hug!
PS - I think she will cry.
Aaaah . . . those blankies are so cute. I can't wait to see the girls' faces when they get them.
ReplyDeleteThe lap quilt for Grandma looks so pretty. I'm sure she WILL cry at the poem because even my eyes teared up.
Love you mom!

ReplyDeleteThe doll blankets are ADORABLE! I doubt the little girls will be checking to make sure the stiching is perfect. I love that old doll. . . do you still have her twin?
