My great-nephew was born this past Nov. 24 and I was pretty excited to finally have a baby in our family to make quilts for and to sew up burp cloths and bibs etc. WooHoo! Knitty Sister is a Grandmother! I will make the quilts and she will make the afghans and sweater sets.
Here is a quilt I made for him. Giant Gingham. I saw it on Crafty Blossom's blog and made it from exactly the same fabrics that she used. My quilt is smaller. My blocks are 4 3/4" sq. because that is the size of the die for my Accuquilt cutter. I machine quilted 1/4" on either side of each seam line. The backing fabric is "Hilltop Gold Foxes" by Wee Gallery for Dear Stella. It also comes in navy, which is just gorgeous. Baby's nursery colours are grey and navy with yellow accent.
The cushion is a 16 1/2" square of "Buck Forest Mist" from Hello, Bear by Art Gallery. I appliqued a little scrap of the cute little raccoon fabric from the same line on top of a scrap of a lovely dark grey (not sure of the name) Thanks to my scrap-enabler Jeanette I get all the cutest modern scraps.

| The raccoon fabric is called "Oh, Hello Fog" too cute! |

You've made such beautiful gifts for this little sweetie! How lucky he is! Love the quilts and I know how much those bandana bibs will be loved. Great picture of the two of you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been having fun! I love all the baby things, and that blue and white quilt, too. Enjoy your cuddling time.
ReplyDeleteI love sewing for little ones. Looks like you've got most things covered. What a lucky little fellow.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is your wee nephew!
ReplyDeleteNothing nicer than sewing for a baby and you have created lots of lovelies.....
Little baby will grow up to appreciate the fine handmade things in life! Start'em young! Lots of lovely things here.
ReplyDeleteSweet little baby! Lucky child to have such fabulous hand-made things. Just think of all the 'stuff' he will need as he grows up. You will be busy :)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. Yes, you have to make...Big Butt Baby Pants!!!!
ReplyDeleteBaby sewing is so much fun! This little one is definitely going to be well taken care of with all your handmade goodies. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky little man, such beautiful things you have made.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful gifts for this little guy. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best kind of sewing and you have sewn up some beauties there.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, that little one has certainly acquired a whole load of beautiful quilty things! All beautiful things and he is gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun when you can put your addiction to use. Babies are always a good reason to sew, purchase fabric. I like your idea of making more quilts for your daughter because one can never have enough quilts. Just heard that Quilts of Valour Nova Scotia are very low on quilts.
ReplyDeleteIf you want more babies to sew for, I'm up for adoption. I might not need the burb cloths but I'd certainly love the quilts and pillows and I could always find a use for the diaper bags.
ReplyDeleteYou've been very busy sewing for your family's newest addition. He's a lucky little fellow indeed to have such a talented auntie. I have a lot of baby things pinned on my Pinterest boards. Feel free to check 'em out!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! Everything is so lovely! I hadn't seen that adorable pillow before. It is simply charming! Do you need me to bring you back some authentic, Texas bandana fabric? XO
