One of Bronwyn's classmates just became a big sister. I am friends with her Mom, and I wanted to make something special for the new baby boy. I didn't really know what to make, but then I saw this sweet fabric by Heather Ross and knew. A receiving blanket!
The gnome fabric is a very silky, high thread count cotton. It is unbelievably soft. I backed it with a soft, unbleached flannel, and bound it with a snappy orange stripe. I rounded the corners by tracing around a lid that I had in the cupboard. It came out great, don't you think?
And yesterday, I forgot a critical part of honoring my blog award: to bestow the award on othe bloggers that I admire. So here it goes: I am giving the award to: Jen Khuns of the Cosmic Blue Monkey, Julia Moore, The Mayberry Sparrow, Sew Katie Did, Picciolo, Myrtle & Eunice, and Daisy Janie.
