I just could not find any…..

What do you put into a month old baby’s Easter basket? Books of course, a new outfit? Burp cloths? Or some toys! Yes toys! Now as you know at one month they can see black, white and red. Those toys are everywhere!! SURE until you need them! So, I decided to make him a crib hanging. I know he is still in the bassinet but he could hang out in the crib for a while and look at this. For a very last minute idea, it is not too bad.

I was so happy with the back because I just got this fabric and later my daughter can switch it around for him.

See, I actually use the fabric I buy!!

Also, as I was searching through my black and white scrapes, I found these blocks! I made these about 15 years ago. I made up the pattern, have no idea if I can find it, but I just love them.

So, I am going to join Jacqu1e “Spring to Finish” Challenge.

I have ten 10.5 inch blocks finished. I do not have any more of the fabric so ten it is; I hope to alternate them with other blocks. But I have no idea what to do, any ideas??? I do not have much time, but I am going to try and get this finished!!

Have a Happy and Blessed Easter

Chen- Section 3 Maroon Friendship Star Variation
Where were these beautiful maroon fabrics when I was looking for them?
What is not showing up in my picture, is the kind surprise Chen sent, a cute magnet and a darling post it note. I LOVE paper (weird huh?) Thank you, very much!



Tricia – Section 4 Purple Mine Bow Ties
Look at the appliqué circle, it is perfect!


Cheri (Terri’s Mom) – Section 2 Light Blue Double Chundash
These are the prettiest shade of blue and the work is perfection.

Cheri also sent me a little surprise of a pink face cloth. Look at the detail. Hey, who told you pink was my favorite color?


Terri (Cheri’s daughter!) Section 1 Dark Green Shooting Star 2

Look at how it was wrapped, so pretty.

And even with a hurt finger she was able to make these wonderful blocks, I would not expect a block from Terri without a paisley print! Love the fabric choices!

THANK YOU

Etsy

I have decided to re-open my Etsy shop. Right now, there are only a few items listed. I plan on added more items everyday this week, until the store is bursting at the seams.
Please excuse the shipping rates listed by etsy and follow my rates instead. I am still trying to figure out their system and my rates are very reasonable. If you overpay, I will certainly reimburse you. Thank you and I hope you stop by to take a peek.
