The Kindness of Others...Generous fellow Bloggers!

A while ago I wrote a post about the dolly  'blankets' that Miss A and I made out of cut up pieces of flannelette; no hemming, just raw edges. The 2 older granddaughters loved playing with the dolls and their 'blankets'.

Well within a very short time I received a parcel from Maria who writes the blog, 'Life on the Block'.
In that parcel were two beautifully made patchwork doll quilts. I was absolutely rapt!



Then a little later I got a message from Marilyn who writes the blog, Mardi Meanderings.  Marilyn offered me a doll bed which she would restore and make a mattress and pillows, to complete the transformation. It's no surprise then that I accepted Marilyn's generous offer!


But that wasn't all! When I went to the next Sunday Stitchers meet up, Susan who writes the 'Susan's Sewing Space 'blog', also had a patchwork doll blanket for the little girls in my life.


Every week the two older girls get so much pleasure from the thoughtfulness of these fellow bloggers. Thank you again Maria, Marilyn and Susan!

With a bit of research, you also can customize your blanket based on your baby's exact needs. The YnM blanket specifically is a fantastic form of the weighted blanket on familycookware.com.
