Baby Gift Finished!

Whew! I didn't think I was going to make it, but I did.

Here are two receiving blankets to go along with the two burp cloths I made yesterday. These are approximately 43" x 43" in size, much larger than what you find in the store and the recipient will get lots of use out of them. They're large enough to wrap the baby in while they are young and they also are perfect as a nap blanket when they are toddler age. In fact, my grandchildren used them in pre-school for when they had quiet time.

I'm always getting requests for these sets because they make great baby gifts. I'll write up a tutorial on how to make these sets if there is interest.

Shhhh... Can You Keep A Secret?

Someone has had a baby and I've been busy sewing baby gifts... Actually, one baby has already arrived and the other one is due any day now.

Here's a picture of the fabrics I'm using for their gifts. Aren't they perfect for a baby?

Here are two burp cloths for the baby who is already here. I used a pattern that I drafted when I was pregnant with my oldest. These are great because they stay on the shoulder and are absorbant when you need it.

Here is a close-up of the beautiful stitches on the yellow burp cloth. I'll be working on more gifts tomorrow and will post more pictures then. Remember, this is a secret so you can't tell anyone.
