Thanks for all the great comments! I have another fun giveaway planned in a couple of weeks! Another fun “memory” piece I am giving to my girls for Christmas. You’ll want one too!
I was blessed to have a grandmother that knit. She was an amazing knitter! Whenever I picture my British Grandma Best she is either holding a pair of knitting needles or a cup of tea.
She knit or crocheted everything! We have bedspreads, tablecloths, sweaters, mittens, hats, barbie clothes, blankets, Christmas stockings, and stuffed toys all knit by my grandmother.
One of my most prized possessions is the blanket she knit for me when I was born. This beautiful ecru colored blanket was used on the day I was Blessed (similar to a Christening, Dedication)
Here is a photo of my parents on my Blessing Day holding me wrapped in the beautiful hand knit blanket my grandmother made for that special occasion.
My mother even took me in for a “formal portrait” with the blanket
Aren’t I cute!
My mother lovingly cared for the blanket over the years and when my first baby was born she gave the blanket to me so that my children could be wrapped in that special blanket of memories on their Blessing Day.
Here is Logan…
and Clark….
Calista….
and Tessa….
Even though my Grandmother was not present at the Blessing she was there in spirit as we wrapped each baby in that beautiful blanket.
Today I am so excited to offer each of you the opportunity to have your own blanket of memories.

Melissa is a native of AZ. She is a wife to a wonderful, hard working man that has two full-time jobs so she can stay home and raise their four daughters. She enjoys doing all kinds of sewing and crafting.
Her sister taught her how to smock 12 years ago and she’s loved heirloom sewing ever since. After a few years of sewing for her own girls, she decided to make things for friends that were having babies. Before she knew it, she was making blessing outfits for friends that were willing to pay for them! That’s when she decided that she wanted to make a business from her passion. She especially loves sewing one-of-a-kind heirloom clothes and accessories for babies and children.
