This weekend was not only Father's Day, it was my niece's 2nd birthday.
She's a doll and I love making things for her!
I found this little pink backpack at Joann's and embroidered her name and a flower. I stuffed it full of learning activities I found at the dollar store. She loves her ABCs and 123s!
I also included this little soft book. I bought the panel at Walmart when she was born (before the fabric department vanished into thin air).
I embroidered her name inside.
I love the sweet little truths in this book.
And lo and behold....a quilt top. Kind of. It needs a border. I also see the two dot blocks in the bottom left hand corner right next to each other and it's driving me crazy. I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe I can just say that it represents the bride and groom? Maybe? Erik refuses to let me fix it, so I'm going to have to do it while he's not home. : )
I think I can manage to really finish this quilt top this weekend and maybe even get it basted : ) The wedding shower is July 10th!
What perfect gifts for your niece!
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt you'll get your quilt finished by the 10th. The polka dots being next to each other is not a problem at all. It took me a minute to figure out what was bothering you.
I couldn't see it either until I red above comment and saw the polka dots. It is beautiful - hope I get to see it in real. Sweet Molly surely had a super birthday.

ReplyDeleteI'm new to this blogging thing...so some how I just created my own blog account (just so I could post on yours). The dots are fine, but they would bother me too :0) I'm not very good at randomness, I'm always trying to control it some how...but I work on it!
