Forest Lake is a city in Washington County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 18,375 at the 2010 census. It is located on Minnesota's 94th largest lake (not including Lake Superior). Interstate 35 and U.S. Routes 8 and 61 are three of the main arterial routes in the city. The separation of highways 35W and 35E (from Interstate 35), just south of Forest Lake, is commonly called the Forest Lake Split. The Forest Lake Split was the scene of the August 11, 2003 death of Herb Brooks, coach of the gold medal-winning 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team (Miracle on Ice).
Making quilts for children-at-risk: the homeless, those in foster care, drug addicted, AIDS infected, visually impaired, abused, as well as infants of teen mothers. Wrap Them in Love Foundation Quilts for needy children around the world.
Most young parents I know do not use blankets anymore in the crib or when the baby is sleeping, not until the child is old enough to get themselves untangled from one. Infants sleep bundled up in sleep sacks. It's a safety thing, and pretty recent. I make quilts for babies but make them big enough for toddlers and up. Crib size, not receiving blanket size. The parents do use them on the floor, to snuggle with the baby, but not in the crib until later. I am currently knitting a sleep sack for a baby to be, #103 Baby Sleeping Bag. This pattern with the zipper looks easy to use for the parents, and is an easy pattern though you have to sew in the zipper.
