Mitch + Jessie = Missy...all 7 lbs. of her. I haven't met little Missy yet but she is quite the little looker! Missy is getting blessed this Sunday so I thought she should have something appropriate to wrap up in...
Believe me, it's as luxurious feeling as it looks! White stain that's machine quilted with wool batting in between...warm and silky-soft. I usually put silk-dupioni on one side of blessing quilts, it's equally as soft but not "slippery"...but in my haste to get this made and out the door I had the thing quilted before I realized I used the wrong backing...either I need to slow down or my brain needs to speed up!! This is the second blunder in a week!! Buy really, no harm done, as long as little MIssy isn't a squirmer and slides right out of her quilt!
You can click on the pics to see a larger version, then you might be able to make out the embroidery. Around the edges Missy's full name is embroidered with pearl cotton, along with her birth date. Satin is machine washable and dryable - and after coming out of the dryer it's much softer - I love the feel of it. I'm thinking I need to make myself a blessing quilt...perhaps a bit larger and maybe in a soft brown color because where I'm going I don't think white is required!
Missy's gramma sent me this picture of her, isn't she so sweet?! There is just nothing like a new grandbaby...speaking of, I shall be getting MY new grandbaby on January 12th! A C-section has been scheduled, unless SHE comes early! The girl is still planning on calling her Elsa...whatever...I'm calling her Macy...think about it, being named after a department store is a great idea! All of her gifts will come in a personalized bag and all of her clothes will come with her name already in them! I still have another month to convince the girl this is the right thing to do...Grandma's should be able to name their grandchildren...especially when their daughters have kids and live 800 MILES AWAY!
Missy's blessing quilt measures 40 x 40-inches - the perfect size for the perfect baby.
