Whenever I'm invited to a baby shower my first thought is "What can I make?" I want the new parents to have a special gift from Dynamo and I that's different than every other. One that was made with love and care and unique! Including imperfections!
So I accessorized this burp cloth with some free motion stitching! I just love that technique! It's basically creating a sewn collage! And then I made a couple of bibs for the baby girl on the way!
The rule is not to look too closely! I'm not a good hand sewer so finishing off, etc. is a little tough for me! But, that's what makes it special right?
Once our friends told us they were having a baby I started working on crocheting an afghan for them!
When they said it was a girl I added the flower!
This particular pattern was very time consuming, but not hard. It was small thread and lots of single crochets! But, it really did turn out to be beautiful I think! It was totally worth the effort!
We gifted these goodies last weekend and hope the new baby on the way loves them!

The gifts were absolutely beautiful! ! Even Clay commented on how nice the blanket was! You are so creative and talented, Rachel! ! :-)
Really lovely! Would you share the pattern and yarn gauge of the blanket? I made a heavier baby quilt for HB that worked great during the winter - but I think a lighter afghan would be nice for summer/fall cuddles.

Thanks, Rachel! I'm so glad that you both enjoyed the gifts! We love you!
Thanks, Muddled Muse! I'm happy to share the pattern. It's my own creation so it's a little rough. Drop me an email and I'll send you what I have!
