Graces New Blanket

As you all know Grace had her tonsils out August 3rd 2011. While she was in the hospital her blanket that Grandma had made her was accidentally put down the laundry shoot. They told us that it was pretty much gone. After 7 days and multiple phone calls not only to the hospital but the cleaning company it was returned. It was all in one piece but had mold all over it plus who knows what else after being in the laundry with the hospitals other dirty linnens. So I cleaned and disinfected it for 2 days. I got it clean but all the chemicals I put on it made it really thin and pretty much ate through the fabric. Grandma and Grace decited to take it apart and save the good parts and redo the rest. This is Grace's first lesson in what im sure will be many behind the sewing machine.
