Well, it is pretty big, it is denim, and it is meant for the picnics I've dreamed of having on it... but family heirloom? We'll have to see if it lasts or not! And if either of my kids are sentimental... that might play a big role in that question. :) Actually, I don't think 'denim' and 'family heirloom' belong in the same sentence.

| The End! |
I didn't handstitch a blind binding on it - too much work for what it's on. I sewed it on the back first, then when I flipped it around to the front, I was just careful to stitch close to the edge and cover the first seam. So the back has a line of stitching that shows around the binding, and I am just fine with that.
I'm done just in time, because I hear a toddler awake in his crib... poor guy is a little sick and his coughing woke him up an hour too soon. We'll have to have a mellow afternoon making cookies and supper. He loves playing in the kitchen (flipping 'steaks' on the griddle, and imitating Sean's timer he uses for flipping stuff on the bbq), so it should be an ok couple of hours until we have to go get Madeline from soccer camp at the University. She had a good first day yesterday, but came home TIRED. Ha ha - it'll be a good week for her.
Love you all!! Thanks for visiting!
