My first baby quilt
My son was looking for something in his closet last weekend and took out his first baby quilt. I made it with my mother in 1991! We picked out a cute dinosaur wallpaper border and made the quilt from the design.

I don't really remember making the quilt but I do remember making the matching skirt and bumper pads for the crib - so it's possible that my mom made most of the quilt - but I did draw the design using the projector that she borrowed. We'll just call it a collaboration 😊

Aw! I love it! I made bumper pads for the crib too! Now apparently, not allowed... Like me, you had bright items in the crib for the baby to look at! And, I spy a Busy Box! (precursor to the iPad, ha) Thanks for hosting Andrée!
ReplyDeleteThey sure change their minds about what to do and not do, don't they. I'm glad that we survived it all! So that's why my son is so into the latest technology! Glad to host - it's a pleasure :-)
DeleteOh how sweet is that dino quilt - and the change in the recipient - ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alycia, they sure do grow, don't they :-)
DeleteHow fun that you have pictures of your son with his quilt as both a baby and an adult. I love how he came across it when he was looking for something else. My son’s baby quilt was also made with a tracing from his wallpaper border.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janine Marie - those really were they days of wallpaper borders and matching quilts! My son was actually looking for the pillow covers that my mother made for his quilt - which I am going to re-produce since it's pretty much finished! I should be talking about that one soon. Take care.
DeleteHello Andrée,
ReplyDeleteI bet your son loved his quilt when he was tiny, especially with the bobbly blue crest along the dinosaur's back.
Such a sweet baby. Hasn't he grown!
Love, Muv
Hi Muv, don't they just grow so much. Yes, he did have that quilt around for a long time.
DeleteThat's a great baby quilt and wonderful to see it's been cherished all this time :)
ReplyDeleteHi Janine, I'm glad that the quilt is still around. It has been cherished, although not as much as the quilt my mother made him - it's now in shreds and I promised to reproduce it for him. That's a big project for this year :-)
DeleteThat is such a sweet baby quilt! What a wonderful collaboration. I am sure you did more than just drawing the design, and it is a fabulous design too :)

Thanks Soma. It brings back such memories. Some days it feels like yesterday and then a life time ago!
DeleteI love seeing your grownup son with his baby quilt! It all comes full circle, doesn't it? :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca, it sure does!
