Finishing up some Christmas sewing today and thought of this special quilt I did for my sister last year. My grandmother had several blocks started when she passed away, and I was blessed to be able to complete a quilt for my sister using my grandmother's blocks. I am so thankful to have a grandmother and mother who have inspired me throughout my life with their faith and many talents!
"She makes coverings for her bed ..." Proverbs 31:22What is Nita Blankie?
I started making these Blankies for my friends about ten years ago, and they have always been a delightful and welcomed gift. My daughter's name, Allyson, is spelled with a 'y' and it's next to impossible to find anything personalized for her. The Blankie was the perfect answer and such a special keepsake.
The Blankies are embroidered with a name and a small design on the fleece side and Minkee or some other type of plush fabric for the backing. Ribbon loops are spaced around the outer edge, giving a baby something to play with or a loop to clip to a stroller so they won't fall off.
Most Blankies are approximately 30" x 30", but as each Blankie is unique, it may vary a few inches either way. You can choose the two colors YOU need for that special gift, perhaps to match the nursery. Email me at rdyefam@yahoo.com and I will be happy to work with you to make a very special gift if you 'Nita Blankie'!
