A Baby Quilt finally Gets Finished!
I found a darling machine "woven" baby blanket in a Goodwill Store in Pasadena, California when I was expecting my 3rd child, my youngest and second daughter.
When this daughter was expecting her first child almost 39 years later, I dug this project out from my UFO pile and decided to finish it. I call this a 3-generational baby blanket but the first generation was not in our family. If someone ever opens up this blanket in the future, they will discover the original tag inside that I left on the blanket.

I have decided I will layer it and embroider around the woven images but also add a few words in an arch across the top. |

The layering and embroidery begins. |

And finally, we added a baby!
Is the original quilt wool? I was given a similar one this summer and was told it came from England at the turn of the century.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is one cute baby!!
I have always assumed it was cotton because it seems so impractical to me to have a baby blanket that is wool. Wool usually takes more careful cleaning. But I never tested it to see which it was, cotton or wool.
