One (1) rectangle, yellow baby blanket with embroidered design and satin trim. Satin trim runs around the border of the blanket, is white and 1/2 inch thick. Main body of the blanket is yellow cotton. In the center are three (3) embroidered cats wearing baby clothes. The outline and whiskers of the cats are brown thread; the clothes outline and eyes are blue thread. Each cat has a small pink hat hung over one ear; pink scarf around the neck with white tassels at the end; and pink mittens. The two cats on the lower half are front-facing. The right cat's mittens are dangling off the paws and it appears to be dancing. The left cat has dropped the mittens and is stooping to pick them up. The top cat is facing away, also stooping to pick up dropped mittens. Framing the cats is a segmented border of grass and flowers like they are in a meadow or on a hill. The grass and leaves are green thread. The flowers have white petals with a pink center, identical to the tassels at the ends of the scarves.Made/Created
