I told Rosie earlier in the fall that as her gift I would make her baby bedding (crib bumper, quilt & skirt.) She mentioned she liked the idea of Noah's Ark, so as I searched for fabric, all I found was pastels! not my style and not Rosie's either. So I decided I'd make my own spin on Noah's Ark with the bedding. Rosie helped me pick out the fabrics, but she wouldn't see it finished until today! I was pretty nervous considering I haven't made baby bedding before! i bought a pattern, but.....I'm not really great with patterns yet and I wasn't thrilled with the design- so I decided to just wing it! I was actually pretty pleased with how it turned out and I think Rosie was very thrilled!!
Rosie opening the card I made her- I scanned a cute picture of my brother (at about 12-18 months old) in a laundry basket - my mom was afraid to cut his curls, so he had a cute curly little mullet!
Toy organizer with velcro tabs to hang on the side of the crib
Opening up the baby bumper!
We used Michael Miller's zoology in brown, a blue chenille with a wave pattern, the green & brown polka dots are from Hobby Lobby & the outside is a brown wood grain by Moda, the binding is dark brown.
Toy organizer for the crib with a diaper carrier for her diaper bag.
Again the bumper, you can see the wood grain- also the tabs on the bumper are velcro to attach to the crib.
the quilt!
The Crib quilt- the backing was Michael Miller zoology
Up close of the quilt- dark brown for the binding, with a decorate stitch.
Can't wait to see it all put together in the crib!
