Travel Blanket!

I made a travel blanket for my friend and boss Valerie since she is
1. Extremely hard to shop for
2. One who travels ALL THE TIME.

I had no idea what I was doing so I kind of made it up as I went along. I knew it had to be able to fold up small but also be warm and stylish!
So I attached some Amy Butler home dec fabric to fleece simply by folding up the fleece and securing it with a blanket stitch. (Of course I had to put her initials in the corner!:))
Then when I was done with the blanket, I thought "I wonder if I should have put some ties on it?"
to keep it wrapped tight. Then I thought, "What if she just has her purse with her, then she'd have to have this blanket tucked under her arm all the time??"
So, I came up with this:
It's own traveling case, looks kind of like a purse itself! Fun project!

Christmas was SO great this year! Will blog soon...
