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 clutch ball.

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

How about a cloth book and quilt that match...

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

Yesterday someone had stiff for sale u could make. One of them was making blocks prices very reasonable. I think it was Ed

It is under Christmas fabric It was Ed! Good luck!

what about a small cloth photo album. you could put family pictures, that baby would recognize.

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:

Thanks so all your suggestions....I love them all. I appreciate the links too, it will be helpful. If any of you have any pictures to share of baby toys you made I would love to see them!!

Thanks again....

This is a great idea...When my girls were little I would laminate pictures and take them in the car with them. I completely forgot about doing that!!

I love this book...So fun that you still have it!!

I am making 2 simple gifts for y new grandaughter Caitlin. I am using a technique to transfter coloring pages that I have colored to fabric so that I can make a fabric book. I am also making fabric blocks.

Thanks for that....I have recently been thinking about coloring on fabric. That is a great idea!!
