For me, blankets are homes, homes that we share with friends and loved ones. They provide comfort and protection and a place for good moments in life.

I am a quilter. I am a sleeper. I am a book reader and a fan of sleepovers. This place-holder blanket will represent all my nights, afternoons, and mornings I have so happily cherished blankets and all that they provide. Blankets are family, for family and of family - no matter who you share one with.
