Baby gifts and other goodies

So, now I can reveal some of the baby things that have been made.


This is the rag quilt that I made. It is big but will be useful for several years. One side is blue and the other pink. The parents of the as yet unborn little one chose the fabrics from my stash of flannels when they were here at Christmas.


The half-circle cushion cover that my daughter Laila requested. Unstuffed, of course, since it would have taken up way too much room in the box - the other side of the cushion is a solid purple flannel. And then there was  the crocheted little pram blanket that my mother made for Laila when she was a baby - my mother's first grandchild.

These absolutely gorgeous sweater sets came from Midge over at Soggibottom. Since I don't knit well, and since we don't know if it's a boy or a girl, Midge covered both bases. And she even made a bear blankie.

For those of you who don't know, Midge makes bears. I absolutely love these outfits and the bear. They have now been delivered. Many, many thanks Midge.

 And lastly, I won three Eclectic charm packs from Riel. She was having a Blog-O-Versary Giveaway. Thank you so much Riel - now all I have to do is find a suitable pattern to use these gorgeous fabrics.

  6. Oh oh oh. Gorgeous. Just gorgeous - all of it - how absolutely special of Midge to make such gorgeous things for your grandbaby! Good idea to make the quilt big, that is awesome and it won't be put away after a year. So sweet to have Laila's pram blanket - I'm saving blankets from my boys that my mother made, for their children. This baby is surely well blessed!
