Mia's Blanket




Blanket? Quilt? Comforter? Bedspread? Whatever it's called, it came out absolutely magnificent. We set up two tables and worked on it all day. We even added piping to the seams. Mia is very excited about taking it home to her bedroom in the upstairs apartment of the historic Victorian house where she lives. Her room tends to get chilly in the winter and the old steam radiator doesn't keep the place very warm. Well, she'll be plenty warm under this cover, with the heavy fabric and fluffy wool batting in the middle. I'll make a throw pillow and curtain tie-backs tomorrow. After cutting, pinning and sewing all day between critter chores we decided to split for the movies. We saw Taking Woodstock, which we thorougly enjoyed. Got a bite to eat and headed home. If we can prop our eyes open a little while longer we'll watch SNL, but it doesn't seem likely. Nighty-Night!!
