Gifts for Baby

Recently Katie, a friend of my daughter, had a baby shower. In the past I'd made a baby blanket for her last baby which was so loved she asked for me to make her one for this baby too. She also has a 3rd child which is just a bit older than the others. I didn't think it was fair for 2 of the 3 children to have a baby blanket so I decided to make one for the older child too. Back in the 60s I'd made a pillow for my grandmother and I remembered the design, thinking it would be pretty done as a baby blanket. So off to work I went and stitched up my Avalon Baby Blanket Pattern done a bit larger for the 3rd child.

I decided to publish and sell this pattern and it's available in my Etsy Shop

Avalon Baby Blanket

Katie told my daughter that for this newest baby she had picked the colors of purple and yellow. I had a pattern for a baby afghan that would work up well in those colors, so once again I started stitching away. This is the result:

Since Katie also had requested a baby sweater, bonnet and booties, I designed a baby sweater set to coordinate with the baby afghan. I am so pleased with how they turned out.
