...a little girl.
Our sweet Blossom is going to hold in her arms a precious little daughter in about 19 weeks from now. Squeals of delight could be heard all over town! She would have been thrilled no matter what the gender, but when a daughter was announced she admitted this had been her heart's desire.
The Lord blesses and blesses.
Naturally we've been shopping for soft feminine quilt fabrics...
...and whilst Blossom is making pillows and stuffed toys for her little
girl I am about to sketch up a quilt idea, as well as begin stitching a door hanger using fabric from a very old Mary Engelbreit layer cake called "Basket of Flowers".
I'll have this door hanger pattern (with a boy version as well) in April's issue of The Stitchery Club....
Sewing for a baby is quite a calming experience, don't you think?
My other dear daughter, Aisha, is less than three weeks away from her due date so over the weekend I finished this "Fox in the Woodland" quilt for her soon-to-arrive son (a little brother to her two daughters) and will be posting it away tomorrow...
It's crinkly from the washing machine but I love quilts this way as they are incredibly cuddly, especially with soft bamboo wadding in the middle...
Aisha chose the fabric from a selection I showed her back in January when she and the rest of her family visited for a few days from Sydney. Aisha and hubby Tim loved the idea of a fox in the centre so the quilt became a bright and cheerful woodland display...
I have to say, welcoming two new babies into the fold this year will be the highlight of family life for us.
I'm so proud of my girls. Aisha is a gentle and compassionate mother, and I know already that Blossom will be the same.
Who are you sewing for at the moment, and what are you making?
I'd love to know!
hugs and blessings
