Baby Layette

 I have been working on getting a layette finished for a baby shower I am invited to go to in March.

  I used some of the Minky I had in my stash for a couple of self binding blankets. 

 I did buy some flannel for the second one but the first one and the minky all came from my stash.

Next, I bought some knit fabrics so I could make a few crib sheets.

My daughter ended up liking these the best of all the sheets I made for her.

I cut up some of the left overs and made burp cloths.

The back is all flannel from my stash.

I made re-usable rags out of the corners cut off from making the sheets.

Then I made a few teethers with what was left.

I finally settled on a quilt for this little one but it will not be finished by the shower.

I guess it just means they will get it when the baby is born!

Tomorrow I am dropping of the mother load of quilts with my LAQ.

Only one is mine!

The birds and the pinwheels I showed recently.

First Finish of 2023

 I used to donate plasma twice a week for about 2 years.  

Sometimes my right arm was difficult to hit, enter Brittny.

She was always able to hit my vein on the first try!

Spending so much time at the plasma center I got to know her pretty well.

She and her hubby were wanting to have a baby.

I had to stop  donating because of the breast cancer medication.

She emailed me to let me know they are expecting a baby!!

They are doing the nursery in Winnie the Pooh.

So of course I had to make some stuff for the nursery, right?

I got the quilt top done before we went to NC.

That meant I was able to get it to my LAQ before I left too.

I used a great Winnie the Pooh Minky for the back.

I was also able to make a few other things for the nursery.

I made some self binding blankets, using WTP Minky and pink flannel.

They came out really cute!

I made 2 crib sheets, one flannel and one knit.

I used the leftovers to make burp cloths and reusable wash rags too.

I got the quilt back all quilted up with Bees!!!

It turned out so darling!!!

I really wanted to use this panel for the center but I didn't have one.

I went online and traded to get it.

Look how cute this Minky is too.

Bonus that it is super soft.

I messaged her and asked if we could meet up on Saturday at her work.

I told her I had a little something to drop off for her.

She was completely blindsided and so thankful.

I think she loved all of it!

I took a pic of the two of us.

Isn't she so cute too??

And guess what the baby's name is going to be?

AVERY Jane.

Can you believe that?  

Baby is due next month and now her layette is ready for her!
