Aunty Sally's Blanket


My mom's sister, Aunty Sally, loved to sew patchwork blankets.

My siblings and I were the lucky recipients of quite a few of them.

Aunty Sally would usually give them to my mom to pass on, and my mom always sealed them in ziplock bags before giving them to us.

One day years ago, Landon asked if he could take a blanket with him on an overnight fishing trip because it was expected to be a very chilly night.  He grabbed one that was still sealed up.

It did turn out to be a cold evening, and unfortunately the blanket turned out to be not a blanket but placemats instead.
