Finally, after making the pieces last year while I finished my Masters degree and coming back from China to sew them together, I am done! I have to say, it turned out nice. Although at times I thought it wouldn't look so nice, once I knew what my sister wanted around the border things went smoothly. It was a momentary artist block :l After I completed it, I stowed it away in my room and used it as a pillow. This went on for about a week before my sister finally came into my room this morning and asked: "Where's MY blanket? Where is it? Are you done yet?" Needless to say, I told her I had been done with it long ago. She promptly then took up the blanket I handed to her, wrapped herself in it, and posed in the mirror. Picture to the right. I hadn't realized how big it was on her until she tried it on. Most of my blankets had been medium sized, like a lap blanket. With this one, she could completely wrap herself. I imagined her rolling it around her body, and lying on the floor just because she can. Sigh. At least she loves it. |
