My talented SIL gets all the credit for the amazing jams, jellies and chutney but I did get to help make them pretty with some fabric and tags. The wooden tray was scored from our local thrift store.
Newest WIP

| On the design wall |
I'm not very good at keeping secrets and my niece isn't very fond of waiting....so I showed her the stack of Valori Wells Wrenly fabric that I had chosen for her baby quilt. That night I starting cutting and stitching and playing with layout. Her nursery is in green, pink and yellow so I may back this in yellow flannel - we'll see since I tend to change my mind (a lot).
Presents Unwrapped - so now I can share
The baby shower had so many handmade gifts it was fun to have given these:

 |

Your tunic, haircut and grand baby are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove your tunic Karen. Do you mind me asking which fabric this is - it's so great!
ReplyDeleteI added a note and picture to the post: it's Kaffe Fassett, Sprays from his 2009 collection in brown.
DeleteKaren, thanks so much for linking up this week!! What a sweet little girl. And what fabulous gifts at your niece's baby shower! (although a Dodgers onesie dress would have been a better choice. Just sayin')
ReplyDeleteOOOO pink, yellow and lime green is my favorite combo for a little girl - even for older girls who need cheering up like this bunch of color.
ReplyDeleteLove that you match your curtains! Is your name Scarlet?
Hugs
Oh Wow! And you said I sounded busy! You must be ready for a vacation by now. They all look wonderful and I'm sure they were a hit at the baby shower.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful shower gift! Love that Moby wrap with the Briar Rose!
ReplyDeleteSo much loveliness all in one post!
ReplyDeleteLove the onesie dress, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love the same fabrics as you! Love that you are wearing Kaffe. Classy. Inspiring blog. Thanks.
