Christening Gift
 
8 Attachment(s)
My eldest grand daughter is being Christened on Sunday so have made this cot quilt as a keepsake gift for her. I have a second to do for my youngest grand daughter who will be Christened on 1st June. Isabella's mum loves sparkly things so I used Fairy Frost fabric for the bulk of the quilt. It looks all glittery and just the kind of thing little girls love. I did the back in the pink fairy frost. I think I will make Olivia's in the the same fabric but holly red and white.

So very cute. What brand machine did you use for the embroidery? I am wanting to save for a dedicated embroidery machine.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]475284[/ATTACH] Isabella posed for some photographs today on her new quilt. She had a lovely ceremony and we all enjoyed lots of nice food afterwards. I think mum liked the quilt!
(I did the embroidery on my janome 12000. I'm still very much on the beginners slope as car as embroidery and the capabilities of this machine are concerned. Lol TBH I'm still on the beginners slopes for the whole quilting thing !)

She is wearing her Daddy's Christening gown and also the same little baby jacket that her aunt (nearly 36), daddy, two younger uncles and 15 year old aunt wore on their first journey home from hospital. I was so chuffed that despite its age it was still as Snow White as when I knitted it all those years ago. (She's not wearing it in the pic though)

What a beautiful quilt! How it will be treasured!

I hope you will also show us Olivia's!

nanacc 05-11-2014 11:11 AM

nanacc 05-11-2014 11:14 AM

Just now saw Isabella's pic. I am afraid the only thing more beautiful than that quilt is Isabella!! Precious!
