Scarlett’s Blanket
Background
If possible, when a quilt goes to someone with a 4 legged companion, Barbara likes to make sure that the little person gets a blanket/quilt of its own.
In this case, the "companion" blankie is for Scarlett, 4 legged companion to Heather Blais. So, a little fabric hunting, some cutting, sewing and stitching, and voila! Barbara started cutting for this "companion" blanket on September 22nd. She finished it on October 7th.
On October 30th the companion blanket was sent to Scarlett, along with the French Twist for Heather (both in Ottawa). When Barbara was staffing officer for Vancouver C&D, Heather was one of her primary contacts in Ottawa. Since retiring they have maintained contact by e-mail and such.
Close-up of the Doggy Print
Barbara thought doggy inspired fabrics would be perfect. Here's a close up of the front fabric, and one of Barbara's freehand machine blanketed hearts. "Pupsi Cola" anyone?
A full shot of Scarlett's companion blanket, a photo of Scarlett snoozing, and a look at the companion blanket's backing fabric are also available.
