About 2 years ago at work we had a rush of babies. Apprentices, growing up, meeting girls and having babies and lady employees having babies.
The first blanket I made was for Dave and Catherine and had a Disney design for Erica and then a Pooh Bear design for Sam. Sadly I did not take a picture.
Feedback was positive and I thought I would make a few more. Apparently really useful when visiting people to have something to put on the floor.
Elisa’s blanket was inspired by the fabric which I could not resist. It was simply the same material both sides with wadding in between.
As you can see they make really nice gifts.
Carl and Brad’s
Carl and Brads were all quite similar, they had Quilted Broderie Anglaise (which is hard to find and not cheap) on one side and fleece with children’s designs on the other side, for extra snuggly-ness. These also had tapes at one end so that they could be wrapped up and carried more easily.
Emma and Claire’s
Cody’s
It is was very hard to get Fleece with designs more suitable for boys. It is easier now and I have seen some really lovely ones. Including a bear driving a John Deer tractor, tooo cute. Please someone have a baby.
I was asked to make the ‘Taggie’ blanket for a friend who Fosters children. It is fleece on both sides, approx. 1 foot square and has 20 ribbon tags of different types and textures around the edges, which apparently babies love. It worked OK, but was very hard to line up all the tags.
