Blanket Statement is a small craft business in London, Ontario Canada specializing in hand-made, Tied-Quilted blankets. Tied-Quilts are super soft, warm and surprising light in weight, cuddly, and durable lasting many, many years. They can just be thrown into the washer and dryer to reappear all fluffed-up ready to go again and again.
These delights are great for many uses. The smallest ones will pamper a cat or dog used alone or on a pet bed. Medium-sized ones make excellent lap quilts for those mobile in a wheelchair or as a cover for keeping a little one warm on an outdoor stroller walk. The biggest sizes can be draped on the back of a chair, a couch or a bed ready to be pulled over or around to provide a warm "blanket" for a nap, a "hug", or a snuggle any time.

A Tied-Quilt starts with a bottom layer of soft, solid-coloured flannel, then a layer of quilt batting (100% polyester) followed by a flannel patterned "top." All three layers are brought together, and "tied", with colorful "s"-knot bows of yarn with the edging then sewn using a variety of pleasing stitches to create a frame, the technique known as the "binding of a quilt."
Two things:
- What's extra unique about a Blanket Statement Tied-Quilt is that the patterns selected are used to make only one Tied-Quilt or a just a very few to ensure a level of "one-of-a-kind" treasures. You won't very likely ever run into another Tied-Quilt just like yours :-).
- Plus, if you want to "personalize" the experience of having a Tied-Quilt of your own or one as a gift, you can optionally choose to have a portion of your Tied-Quilt left un-tied for you to complete it so that the finished result will have had your "hand" in the result. And, if your Tied-Quilt is for a fur baby, "tying" it on your own would also let you add your "scent", cool huh?
Tied-Quilts come in calming, fun and seasonal patterns - Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Summer Fun...you get the idea! And, If you have a particular design or colour scheme in mind, let us know and we will do our best to add it to the collection. Coming Soon: More Summer Fun, Fall Warmth with Halloween spirit not far away (boo).

Typically the saying "Blanket Statement" means saying something that "includes or affects everything, everyone, or all cases, in a large group." Together these words are sometimes used to blanket a thought covering many topics or a group of folks. Here at Blanket Statement though, we are hoping to add a new definition to the term by meaning the "blanketing" of a "special" feeling or a moment - one of softness, a happy event, a holiday, a season, a celebration, or just "because."
