Every fold of a blanket tells a chapter. Perhaps it's the quilt handed down through generations, each patch rich with history and the warmth of love. Today, the art of the personalized blanket adds a new page, one that incorporates not just the threads of kinship but the very images that depict these moments. A personalized blanket becomes a time capsule, capturing today's stories to be remembered and retold tomorrow.
