Because Every Child Needs a Blankie!

Blankies are very special in our house. Both Mackenzie and Madison still sleep with the blankets they received as infants. These blankets have travelled many places including Disneyland, doctors offices, the beach, church, and have often 'waited in the car' for the girls to be finished school. Mackenzie's has had to have a few sewing jobs over the years and all I can say is thank goodness Madison's is white so it can be bleached. Having experience the attachment that can occur between blankie and child, I have decided to try to make as many blankies as I can before we travel to China, where I plan to give them to our daughter's orphanage. I finished my first one this week. It was a very simple knot blanket...no sewing involved. I plan to start another tonight and have bought some very cute fabric to start sewing some more patchwork style ones. Enjoy this photo of Madison and her blankie I found while looking through old photos.
