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.
