When I was pregnant with our little guy, I received a hand-made baby blanket from a dear friend. It was her first sewing project! I was incredibly impressed and touched by this special gift.
Since then, I could not stop thinking about how precious it was to receive that hand-made gift. It was so special to know all the time and love that went into creating this unique gift.

I found a free pattern and tutorial from white and bright's blog (you can find her awesome tutorial here), tweaked the pattern to my own liking, and I now have a size and pattern of my own that I love!
