remember casey's blanket?
i had the bright idea to "fix" it and
send it to casey and chieko
for sweet baby ray
i went to tumbelweeds and picked out some fabric
i had to remove all of the old, shredded backing
and worn out filling.
i managed to get it taken apart without
harming the printed top piece.
then i had to go back to tumbleweeds and sign up for some
one on one instruction on how to "quilt"
the first night i went, i cut and sewed a border onto the original
blanket, along with some additional fabric to bolster (?)
the very thin (loved) original piece
i went back the following week and layered
the top part
the new batting
and the new back.
after pinning the 3 layers together,
i hand tied the blanket in about
a million places
(i exaggerate!)
i don't know if you can
click on the pictures to see more detail
there is no class tonight,
so i will go back next week to sew on the binding.
this was going to be a surprise, but
i told casey this morning.
i am such a loser.
