In order to get myself and another dear friend, Mary, involved, she decided that we would make a baby quilt to be given to a TBD organization. We three were given the task to create 13 squares each from a selected coordinated fabric line, mail them all to Melanie, where she would create the final masterpiece. Well after months of waiting on MOI, and a slight measurement mishap, the quilt was completed about a month ago! Melanie did a great job in pulling it all together....I never expected anything less! And that reminds me to ask Mel the name of the chosen charity!
So, to continue the spirit of giving, I am gearing up to make baby shower gifts for two new friends that I met through my local Junior League, Melanie (not the one above) and Lydia. On the 8th of October, I will be hosting a shower for them in my home, and I am REALLY excited for them! As outlined in my to do list (about to start marking stuff off soon :)), I have plans to make them a small tote, burp cloths and bibs that they can use for their little ones once they arrive. I have already selected coordinating fabrics and wanted to share them here. While I am not normally a fan of animal prints, the Michael Miller Zoology line always sucks me in. I will animal prints to create the totes and the solids to line them. The other fabrics will be used for the other pieces. Looking forward to cutting fabric and getting some sewing in over the weekend!
Night night folks!
