Those kind of seemingly random connections can be such fun when the dots connect or stories are shared or common ground is found.<br /><br />My husband is a "native Alaskan" but not an Alaska Native!

I can so totally relate to that. I have a suspicion that my fabric has taken the commandment to heart to multiply and replenish the earth. No matter how much I use or give away, there is always more! And I don't buy more fabric; expect when I see a charming piece at the thrift store, or am in Amish country and stop in at a darling quilt shop, or, well, I guess I do buy a little bit. Thanks for sharing your stories. Your way with words touches my heart.

I believe that's where we first heard about weighted blankets, for any kids "from hard places" (foster/adopted/special needs). I've wished to try them with ours, but have never gotten around to making or purchasing any.
