I would like to make gifts for my new grandaughter, who will be 6 months, for Christmas. I was wondering if you had any ideas and pictures to share of gifts you have made. I have found a pattern for an alphabet book that looks good, but was looking for some more ideas. I remember seeing a small cloth barn with animals, but cannot find a pattern for it.
Thanks for sharing any ideas and pictures of fun gifts you have made!! Also if you have a link to some one who has kids patterns I would appreciate it!!

How about a quiet time book. I made one for my daughter 28 years ago and we still have it.

If you don't want to wing it here is a pattern for the quiet/activity book.

Good idea. My grandkids love looking at pictures of family members, and it really helps since we all live so far apart.

My nephew had a store-bought "taggie" which he simply would/could not fall asleep without.
They're easy to make, here's a tutorial I quickly found:
