Traveling Blanket
A few weeks ago I got an email from Jen Byard of My Three Sons Designs asking me if I would make a travel blanket for her son. Have you seen the cute stuff she makes and sells? I was flattered that she wanted ME to make something for her son.
I gave it a lot of thought and decided on something definitely boy- but not cheesey boy (does that make sense to anyone else?). I had worked with the Star Rocket fabric before and really liked it. Not only is the print cute it is the softest cotton ever, I swear it has got to be 300+ thread count. Harrison has 2 older brothers which means he probably gets a lot of hand-me-downs. I wanted this to be something special meant for him, so I embroidered a patch with his name on it. I searched high and low for just the right minky to back it in, I wanted red, but theI couldn’t find the right share. Sally’s had a soft dotted blue that matched perfectly.
So, Harrison- this one is for you buddy!

That blanket is adorable and I definitely know what you mean about “cheesey boy” and this is not.

I love this so much I might not give it to Harrison
He’s going to love it! I’m already picking this to be his “blankie”. Thanks Heather!

So far that’s my favorite. It’s boyish without being too over the top.
