Here are the gifts I have been making for my granddaughter who will arrive in June. They say its a girl, but if its a boy I may have to "Pay it Forward" to someone who is having a girl!!

Thanks for Looking.....

Those are so sweet!!! I love minky for baby quilts. Nothing else seems as soft and cuddly. And congrats on the upcoming grandbaby!

I don't see any pics. :-)

Oh, that is just way too cute. Beautiful and all ready for your grandbaby. Love the bunny too. June will be here before you know it. The lucky little girl will love it.

Laura3 03-14-2011 04:15 PM

Ok...now I got the pictures in there...Sorry..

Very nice!! My first grandbaby is due in May and I have been so bad, I havn't made anything yet, except a couple of nursing covers.
What did you make your burp cloths out of? I was thinking about making some with flannel on the front and maybe terry cloth on the other side. Or flannel on one side and a nice print on the other. Mine is supposed to be a boy.

Oh my, how cute! I love the minkee. Great work!

Lovely gifts for your new grandbaby.

Jingle 03-14-2011 04:18 PM

Very pretty, I hope it is a girl, so she can enjoy all these pretty things.

Our oldest Granddaughter turned 24 today. She is the light of my life.

So cute! I know you're excited. Get some rest while you still can!

Laura3 03-14-2011 04:20 PM

I just used flannel on both sides. I taped two pieces of computer paper together and traced a dessert plate on each end and then just drew the curved line to connect the lines, to make the pattern. It was so easy. I did put batting in the middle, but I am not sure you would have too. When I was making them, my husband came in and said that my son in law wouldn't like the flowers. So I made the camo cloths for him...

Jeanniejo 03-14-2011 04:23 PM

They are all so cute !! I'm with you, I'm expecting my first grandchild in May. They don't want to know if it's a boy or girl, they want to be surprised !!

LOL!! He wouldn't like flowers!!! Oh Well, some men are that way!!!
I'm not sure they would need batting but flannel would make them more absorbent than regular cotton fabrics.

I make my burp cloths using a piece of fabric sewn on a cloth prefolded diaper. I'll locate the link and add it here: http://projectsforyournest.blogspot.com and in her search box you can type in Basket of Burpies and she has a tute for it. Very easy and according to my DIL they are better than the store bought ones.

Grandchildren are simply the best gift there is.

So cute, and love the little Hoot.

littlehud 03-14-2011 05:45 PM

I love the baby quilts. The fabric in the first one is darling and I love the owl in the second one. Cute bunny too. And the burp cloths are great. Thank for sharing.

hperttula123 03-14-2011 05:56 PM

Those are just adorable :)

Very Cute...

Really cute gifts waiting for her. My grandson was supposed to be a girl. I made the cutest quilt for a girl. Kept it and when my granddaughter had a girl--10 years later, she got it. It had been kept in a cedar chest. Yep, had to get a boys quilt done for the grandson!

Quilting Angel 03-14-2011 11:42 PM

These are all so adorable.

The ultrasound says girl but, I am ready to change up if necessary. I have heard many stories of girls being boys and vice a versa. So fun you have both, little boy and a girl!!

Laura3 03-15-2011 02:33 AM

Thanks for all of your comments! I have really enjoyed making small things...Its fun to see finished products faster than some of my other bigger projects that take so much time.

emerald46 03-15-2011 02:34 AM

How precious! Lucky you and lucky baby! I put grandbaby on my Christmas list for this year....we'll see..lol.

TracyRenea 03-15-2011 02:49 AM

Too cute. I love making baby gifts.

Vickymomof6 03-15-2011 03:15 AM

Very, very nice! Love that owl.

dogsgod 03-15-2011 04:00 AM
