Family and Friends




It is time for the "Baby Shower". My husbands family has an antique cradle that has been used by many generations of babies. Now it is time for my grandchild to use it. Not knowing the sex of the child I decided to use 30's Reproduction Fabrics. They are happy little prints and appropriate for any child.

The bumper pads and quilt measuring 25 1/2 x 37 1/4" are made of 100% cotton fabric,cotton batting machine pieced and machine quilted.

The bottom picture shows the back of the quilt. I had this at the baby shower and asked guests to write well wishes and advise for the parents in permanent colored pens. It was the hit at the shower and there were some very interesting writings. I am just sorry I do not have a legible picture for everyone to get a chuckle.
