Gifting a baby quilt

 I discovered at the end of last year that one of my former Primary School pupils was pregnant, the baby due mid January. I knew where Mum lived but didn’t have a phone number. About 6 weeks ago I managed to track this down via another contact but found the number was incorrect! By this time I was into my ill health problems again, two stays in hospital etc.

I rang our contact again and finally got the right phone number . I found out all the details I needed from the new Granny Julie  I was able to embroider the quilt label. 

All wrapped up and ready for me to deliver, once I have found a suitable time when Julie will be there to receive the parcel.

I had fun choosing which quilt to give baby Raya as I have been accumulating quite a stash over the past few years from Covid onwards. Many were made for the local Maternity Unit or Project Linus but unfortunately I haven’t found an opportunity to donate them. However this meant I had a lovely wide choice and decided on the Twinkling Stars quilt which was completed in October 2021.

And showing the backing. 

The quilt measures 36” square  but is bright and full of I Spy things to find. Ideal for a Tummy Time quilt.

Not done any actual sewing yet since my discharge from hospital. Still got several appointments ahead and my energy levels are zilch but embroidering the label reminded me what it felt to have a needle in my hand.
