I can now show the two other finishes that I alluded to several posts ago, as Christine<\/a> has received her gifts. Anne<\/a> actually received her little goody package first, which is too funny to me, considering she lives in Sweden and Christine just lives in Canada!<\/p>\n

I found a blank stitchable baby bib a few weeks ago when going through some of my stash looking for bookmark blanks and I wrote to Christine to see if she was interested in it. The next question, of course, was did she want the blank to stitch herself or should I go ahead and stitch something on it? She said it was up to me and since I could only guess at how busy she was getting ready for the baby, I decided to stitch it up for her. I have two books of baby bib designs – one I’ve never stitched from and probably never will and the other that I haven’t stitched from since I was 13 or 14 years old. I chose the design named Caterpillar from the leaflet named Cross Stitch Designs for Baby Bibs by Sam Hawkins and published by American School of Needlework © 1988:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think he’s quite a bright and cheerful little caterpillar (at least he is now; I changed his frown to a smile) and he makes me smile, so hopefully he will make Christine’s sweet little boy Sean smile, as well.<\/p>\n

While I was at it, Christine had commented on my post containing pictures of the fabric bookmarks that I sewed for Nan that she really loved them, so I asked for her favorite color and sewed one up for her. Unfortunately, the workmanship isn’t as high of a quality as I would have liked (the top seam puckered when I sewed in the tassel and the whole thing has a little bit of a curve to it because I can’t sew in a straight line), but it’s not too bad.<\/p>\n

Christine seems to be pleased with my efforts, so if she’s happy, I’m happy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
