Whenever my children were small and the blankets/quilts were later garage saled, I only kept the handmade ones and have passed them on to my children through the years. They love them and still use them. <br />And what a great summer sale on flannel!

My son was in the NICU when he was 16 days old for a week when we discovered he had a heart disorder. It was such a trying time for me as a first time mother. I was unable to hold him for any length of time but a nice soft blanket sure would have softened the pain.<br /><br />Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I did remove all of the original finish. I simply sanded it off as it came off easily and quickly. The bri-wax is a two step in one since there's a stain in the wax. Makes for a quick and beautiful finish.<br />I printed a copy of the prayer from Shirley Dobson as well. A lot of that I already pray for my children but the whole thing is the hope and prayer in my heart for their entire lives.<br />God Bless your heart for serving Him so well~ BirgitBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350963491114778185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048847545089467727.post-60492663297894149022010-07-09T16:30:27.979-04:002010-07-09T16:30:27.979-04:00Can we make those my size?

The store bought ones are cute nowadays, but nothing can compare to the love and quality of a homemade blanket.<br /><br />What a sweet idea! How thoughtful of you Mary to use your wonderful talent to share with someone less fortunate.
