Shirley’s Summer Quilt

Remember that summer blanket I mentioned I got from Value Village the other day? This one? 

Well as I sat by the fire at the lake today, grateful for the ban to have lifted thanks to the cold, damp weather, I pulled out this blanket to snuggle with in my lawn chair. 

I caught a random glance of the seaming and noticed some designs that weren’t as straight or even as the others. And I realized something SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

😍 Isn’t it amazing?? The date on it makes me think it’s possible Shirley passed? Or maybe she didn’t. I really don’t know, but I care! I love that I have it 💜 Sometimes, I love to peruse the aisles for homemade things that shouldn’t have been donated. So in this case, it feels like an honour to have it in my possession 🥰
