A blanket is a wonderful way to pass down a tradition. In many cultures, eating outside together while sitting on the earth is a family bonding experience that honors our ancestors. The blankets we choose for family meals are often wool and are rich in colors and traditions because they can reflect the importance of such communal practices. When embroidered to honor family achievements or special events, family blankets become priceless heirlooms that we lovingly pass on.

If you would like to begin a blanket tradition for your family, find ways to honor native artisans and crafters. Support others who are committed to sustainable models of spiritual art to ensure that your family shares in community values that keep our planet verdant and our cultures united in earth-based traditions. Embroider your family name today and share a picnic with your loved ones to tell them of your intention and why you want to share your blanket with them.
