Handmade Love

This baby has received so many wonderful handmade items from family and friends, I get a feeling of deep love each time something new arrives. I wanted to show off all the skill and time that have gone into his collection thus far.

By Grandma Cindy (her first quilt ever!)

I love the variety of colors and how sweetly they go together.

Especially meaningful to me is this soft white afghan crocheted by his Great-Grandma Pug before her passing last winter. I feel her around us each time I wrap him in it.

This wonderful patchwork piece was made by the great Yellow Springs artist, Sharri Phillips (a.k.a. Aunt Sharri).

Gifted by my work colleague, Ann Shaw (made by her sister).

This quilt was actually made for me when I was a babe by one of mom's "First Baptist Ladies" in Duncan, Oklahoma. I love the rainbow effect.

These awesome bibs were embroidered and made by his Aunt Brooke Reinhard. I can't wait until he can show how dapper he is in his bowtie.

Gifted from his Great-Aunt Eleanor Rourke (made by an unknown Canadian).

A Roarie Monster by Aunt Sharri, under the sea pillow hand stitched by Yellow Springs friend Rose Moore, and Piggy the Elephant made by me.
