Tuesday Treasures

With a grandbaby on the way I recently went through the cedar chest to see what I had packed away from when our guys were little ones.  I was pleasantly surprised to find some of what I had saved.

These are two of several blankets that I was working on thirty-five years ago.  I had forgotten about them and was happy to find them.

I vividly remember sitting at my MIL's kitchen table, two of her sister-in-laws were visiting and I was working away on this ripple.

The ripple does have two spots which I need to repair, but other then that they are in like new condition.  It is thrilling to pass these on.

This wonderful blanket was made by my MIL also thirty-five years ago.  It was the Afghan Stitch, now called Tunisian Stitch.  The teddy bear and boxes in the side panels are done in cross stitch.  The picture really does not do justice to this beautiful blanket.   It is truly a treasure. 

These were made with great love.  Priceless treasures.
