Default Bitty Baby cradle for our DGD's Christmas

My husband enjoys woodworking and I enjoy quilting so we cooperated on this Christmas gift for our sweet 4 yr. old grand daughter. Hubby designed and made the cradle, and I did the bedding and mobile. The heart mobile, mattress & pillow were made with two layers of Soft and Stable (used for purses etc) with the heart and pillow stuffed further with poly fill placed in between for poof. The mobile also had a musical button that played Brahms Lullaby when pressed. The sheet and pillowcase are removable for washing and the quilt matches her twin quilt, right down to the butterfly quilting. Can you tell I enjoy the details?! Ha, ha. Emilia didn't realize that until she got home.[ATTACH=CONFIG]386897[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]386899[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]386900[/ATTACH]and compared the two. Grand children are so much fun and my DH and I had a ball cooperating on this project for her. She loved it!
