I just read Holly’s post here, and was about to post the following aaaanyway and I think that the timing is crazy weird. And Adrianna and I agreed wholeheartedly about the amazing beauty of these fabrics and quilting them simply so that they’re the star.
Adrianna and I have friends, Kyra and Ken, who delivered their second baby girl on January 12th. I was able to visit with them over New Year’s and deliver the goods that Adrianna and I coordinated on. A whole lot of Anna Maria Horner’s Good Folks for some really, really good folks. I made them a bumper and crib sheet, Adrianna made them a quilt and dust ruffle, and our mutual friend Stacey made them a coordinating pillow and big sister gift. We’ll show you all of our efforts over a few posts.
Good Folks Having a Baby: Part 1
Now, before you admire this next picture of pure joy and anticipation, I should clarify that it’s Kyra that’s pregnant, because you might see this and think that Ken is with child. And while this is 2010 and all, this traditional couple is going the mom-carrying baby route. No Junior action here.
Rather than use four sets of ties at one corner, I made loops on one end so that the ties from the opposite end can connect them together before attaching to the crib.
And moooore photos so that you can see more of how this turned out. A picturepalooza.

Yes! My son is already 3 months old and I’m such a slacker that he has no crib bedding yet. A tuorial would be very much apreciated by both Lukas and myself.

I’d love to see a pic of the “end” corners with the loops in use! Just can’t draw a mental photograph!
