"BLANKIE" MAKEOVER

When Bailey Rose was born she was given a beautiful quilt from the Relief Society Presidency of the Cornerstone Ward ( an organization within our church). She loves this little treasure and refers to it as her "Blankie". She sleeps with it and cuddles with it and plays with it. Well after almost nine years of sleeping, cuddling, playing and washing it "Blankie" has become worn and tattered. I mentioned to her that maybe it was time to retire "Blankie" but she would not have it.




So we took a trip to the fabric store where I allowed her to pick the fabric of her choice and I told her I would give "Blankie" a makeover.
After about an hour of looking through the fabric section she finally settled on the fabric of her choice. We then went home and I sewed the rest of the afternoon giving this loved blanket a much needed makeover. She was just delighted with the outcome and is thrilled knowing that her new Blankie is also her old "Blankie"!
