for baby K

I made this a couple months ago. Excuse the wrinkles please, ironing is on my "don't" list. And the color is not so great, took these inside because I am lazy.

This is the baby blanket I made for my soon to be great nephew. He should arrive any day now. The picture is not great. My niece asked me to make a valance and crib skirt in the white swirly fabric.

I added some Riley Blake Mod Tod stars, some Robert Kauffman brown circles and made her this. I love the binding , its brown and white and reminds me of a peppermint candy cane stripe.The back has a little square of Packer green and gold. I could not resist. The dad to be is a bears fan and takes a lot of good natured ribbing from our family!

I will add a little tag "to ___ from great aunt Linda" when I find out his name and mail it off.

  2. And I collect paper and fabric! Paper is cheaper and takes up less space :)
