> Aquifer (n.): an underground layer of rock or earth which holds groundwater.

Even though their value isn’t always readily seen on the surface, aquifers hold precious water;

They are a source of refreshment for those who come in contact with them.

This pattern is dedicated to the people who are aquifers –

They have great depth and give freely to those who need them.
-------------

This particular blanket was designed for my sister in law,

Who is an “aquifer” in my life –

She gives freely and abundantly of her love and life to everyone around her.

This blanket is for one of a set of surprise twins she is expecting.

I hope this project refreshes and invigorates you,

Inspiring you to love and give to those in your life who need it.

Great pattern!

Love how this design worked so well with my "flag" themed lapghan. Well written, easy to follow, easy to adapt to suit specific needs.
