Kira and Andrew invited us to Alana’s Baby dedication at their church in October which was a lot of fun to attend. At Westover, they did one big baby dedication per year for all of the babies born that year. At their church they do it at the beginning of service after each baby is a few months old.
So I was looking for fabric for my sister Raya’s birthday gift, and so ended up ordering a ton of fabric from Girl Charlee Fabrics. I am happy so far with all of the ones I got, and wanted to show you what I made with a portion of two of the fabrics.
WOW! Sorry about the huge delay in posting! I have been lazy for part of it, and once I was ready to start posting, I have been having weird issues with photos not uploading correctly so hopefully I can get this figured out. So As I said before, the Month of June was insane! First weekend we tried to go boating in Nashville with Kira and Andrew,but got rained out. Second Weekend we went to North Carolina for Grant’s Family Reunion See Post #1 and Post #2. On the Sunday of that weekend/trip, we went straight to Nashville for Kira’s Baby Shower as well. She had 3 different showers,but because of timing, we could only make this last one at their church.
Two weekends ago, Â I was able to attend one of my sister’s Baby Showers in Nashville. I wanted a cute gift for my niece other than just the typical burp cloth, headband bows,etc. So I decided to make a quilt. I have been working on this project for a while now without her knowing about it so I couldn’t blog about my progress until now. So below is what I did.
As you can probably see from my recent posts, I have been trying to accumulate an arsenal of baby shower gifts. 🙂 I have been trying to make them in bulk that when a shower comes up, I can just pick out which colors and am good to go. I used to make the burp cloths only,but I felt 3 burp cloths just weren’t enough for one gift. I still have one type of gift I want to try and make for the gifts so I have 3 items per boy or girl gift, but I need to see whether it is worth the work that goes into it.
So yesterday, I posted HERE about my fail with cutting the stretch wrong on some fabric. I didn’t want to throw it away and waste it so I came up with another fun idea of what do to with it, make bow ties!
