Baby M

I am finally getting around to blogging about my projects for my new niece M!  She was born March 12, 2012.  I was excited to make a quilt for this sweet baby girl!  This was my first quilt project, and I have to admit I am hooked!  I love quilting.

"Little Bird Rag Quilt"

I used flannels for this rag quilt.  I wanted it to be soft and cuddly!  I also wanted it to get softer every time S washes it.  

The sewing process...

Overall I was pretty impressed by how easy it was!  The only problems I ran into were: time to sew ( with 2 mini's running around I can never find the time I need!)   and the binding process (totally screwed it up, but you can't really tell...)  I want to take a binding class at a local shop.

I am pretty proud!

I also made baby M a onesie dress and head band (which is 12 month size so it will be a while before I see it on her).  I really like including a little something for mommy too - it's nice to feel pampered as a mom!  So I made S a lemon sugar body scrub and stuck it in a custom jar :-)

I up cycled of of L's old tiny onesies and used some left over flannel.  It did not turn out quite the way I wanted, but luckily I can always try again!  I have a feeling baby M will be receiving lots of handmade goodies from Aunt A!  

I have another quilt in process (for my sister) and it's been a fun one!  I am looking forward to our weekend get away to Crystal Beach!
