Well, my family says that I am a “blanket-aholic.” I love blankets. Texture is very important. Each blanket is special. They are a symbol of warmth, love and security. This lime green quilt has had a normal life, but it will now be spectacular! I searched and searched for a lime-green quilt, and finally I found it, hiding on a shelf tucked way in back. It was perfect until I moved and my colors changed. It became a placeholder in the closet – an emergency blanket, guest blanket, whatever was required.

Now it will live on and be a part of something bigger and it will reflect life, love, warmth in your beautiful art.
