Hi Ladies, I need some advice.........
A most joyful occasion is about to occur in the life of one of my friends. She will become a Grandmother sometime in November.
To celebrate the occasion I would dearly love to make something for the first born grandchild and what comes to mind is an embroidered blanket. You know the type Wool with wool applique and wool embroidery backed with a pretty cotton fabric.
However, in this day and age wool is not necessarily the most practical though I expect it would be a lovely keepsake.
So my question is - should I make something practical therefore washable, for example a patchwork cot quilt or should I make the woollen keepsake?

Jo, anything you make would be much appreciated I am sure. A woollen blanket would be beautiful but these days do people wash them properly and treat them with the respect something so precious deserves. A patchwork quilt is also a beautiful gift and really so much easier to care for I think. If it was me personally I would adore the woollen blanket but I'm old and know all about Lux Flakes and treating woollens with care.
