Patchwork blanket hand sewn by mum makes me smile everyday
What about it?
So, its been a really bad couple of months for my mum. She hurt her knees and cannot walk or stand for too long, and for a really active person its just depressing. So she sits in her craft room all day sewing stuff to keep herself busy (and sane). I on the other hand have had a stressful couple weeks work and financial wise.
Yesterday she passed me this blanket she had been secretly working on, meticulously and neatly sewn. I recognised some of the patches as things from my childhood. My favourite pants, pyjamas, fabric from the old couch, the pillowcase my grandma made.
We’ve always butted heads and fought because of our stubborn personalities but this… this made me feel so much love. When i used it that night i had tears in my eyes 😠but yeah now it makes me smile and its so comfy too! Thanks mum i love you.
