T-shirt Blanket Story Series
Shellie Tidball, from Bowling Green, KY, shared with us her t-shirt blanket story! Shellie’s blanket represents memories from her husband’s live music venue, Tidball’s, and their love for football! Here is Shellie and her husband’s story:
“My husband and I created a blanket that tells a story of ‘us.’ Each of the t-shirts has a story. A majority of the t-shirts are related to Tidball's, a live music venue in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This venue is very meaningful to both my husband and I. He opened the business with a few friends over 10 years ago. They've had some pretty big bands make their start there. It is also where we met almost six years ago, when I left my name and number on a beverage napkin! On our blanket there are Tidball's t-shirts from their golf scramble, and some of the bands t-shirts.
We also have a lot of running shirts on the blanket. We run races together also. There is also a race I started for my former school called the Eagle Flight 5K.
And last of all, the football shirts. We LOVE football. He is a Tampa Bay Buc's fan and I love the New England Patriots. The blanket includes both teams. We ‘fight’ over which team our 4-month-old son will cheer for!
Like most people we love a nice comfy shirt. We have so many our drawers won’t shut though! Because each shirt has a story to it there was no way we could get rid of them. And like your company, we like to recycle! Some shirts weren't wearable anymore, but they look great on the blanket! We were so excited to get the blanket we used it the night we got it! My husband really loves it! We've already started our bag for our second one, along with some onesies for a blanket for our son!”
