I mean you get a little pillow and put some info on it about the birth day but what then. They never really use it and it usually just gets stored (or tossed).
So I came up with a more useful idea, something that would be able to be used AND display all the fun facts. And from that idea was born the "birth blanket"
Here is Bear's birth blanket. I still have the final touches to go as far as the border goes. Just satin trimming. But I am LOVING the blankets.
Moe's colors are more calm and his satin backing is cream. The quilted side is green, blue, cream and light tan (I think).
The quilting fabric can be bought at Hobby Lobby if you do not feel like creating your own quilt (not you Mols :)) and the backing is just satin and I took it to a local "monogramming" shop. Pin faces together and sew leaving a small opening to turn right side out when done sewing. Turn right side out then sew'er up. Then comes the satin blanket trim. I will be doing that soon... so ask me later if you need to know how that is done.
The boys LOVE them (ignore the pouty face!). And the blankets are big enough that they cover the boys!

Ok, Chica...SO...when I get MY boy/s will I will pay you WHATEVER it takes to get one for each of them!!! They're gorgeous. I smell the start of a beautiful money maker!!! :)
So Fun! We did that with Mariah's blanket that matches her nursery so she has one main keepsake from her infant time. Great minds think alike :)
Love it, you are so very talented!
wow, those are SO neat!!! I love them! You are so crafty.
i agree! i would pay money for that ;)
VERY cute! was the material expensive? I think I might attempt one. I like that it has some softie patches on it. Nothing like a nice and cozy blanket WITH embroidery! YAY!
Also, let me know how the trimming goes. I'm fearful of trimming.
Ok so I didn't notice till now that you made a whole blanket with "Moe Baby" on it! Wow, It must have been time consuming making another on with his real name. :) They're awesome, but I've already told you that!
The "Moe Baby" blanket is his original one... I just had to edit the picture to cover his real name and write Moe baby on it for the blog :).
So no I am not that liberal with time :)... hahaha That would be cute though!
OH- he is precious. so- do you make and sell these? fill me in.
So sweet! Love the blankets!
