Baby shower

My daughter Valerie is about 7 months pregnant and this weekend is her shower.  I have been emerging myself in baby stuff and realize it's a whole new world out there.  I went to help her register for a few things and did you know they have baby monitors now that have videos in them, and we saw one that monitored whether or not the baby had moved recently.  And the car seat choices were overwhelming.


I came home and bought some outfits from Dharma and got out my soy wax and started playing around. The thing I had to remember is how many times you have to wash this stuff to get the dye out with a baby wearing it.  I don't pay that much attention with my fiber art, but I don't want bleeding on all the other baby clothes


Of course I had to make her a baby quilt, which reminded me how far removed I am from exact seams and pointed edges.  This pattern was from a Freddy Moran book.  I was able to use up a lot of my store bought fabric. They had one for Farmer John too, so I'm ready if a baby boy comes along in the future.
