A Blanket for my Baby!


Inspired by the sewing machine cover made by Bobbi of Crafty Vegas Mom, I decided that my newly re-geared baby needed one too!


Ain't her purdy in her new blanket?





Details:

Fabric:  Jason Yenter for In the Beginning, I believe it is Electic Garden (2009) in the pink/aqua palette.  I had 1/3 yd of each of the three prints.  The print you don't see is part of the lining.


Size:  Basically, a small table runner or super-size place mat, 18"x33" with four ties, 13" long.

OtherWarm and White batting remnant, quilted with wavy line stitch in a variegated thread that I had on hand, the colors blend with the fabric.

  1. That is some flashy machine cover! No simple utilitarian stuff here. Nothing is too good for the machine of the Empress of the Universe! : )

  4. Not that she ever doubted it, but I'm sure she is feeling loved. Isn't that what quilts are all about. A big warm hug.

  5. This is very cool. I will have to make one for Betty and one for Priscilla. They both pick up so much dust, even if I use them every day. Thanks for the inspiration.

  10. Your cover turned out great. Good way to keep the dust off of your baby. Although, I'm not sure baby gets much dust. She is usually pretty busy. :)
