After embroidering a crib sheet for a baby gift recently, I completed this second sheet for Abigail's hope chest. I love "vintage looking" baby patterns. This one is an Aunt Martha's pattern and since we raise sheep, I thought the lamb was particularly appropriate. I've also been sewing those self-binding baby blankets. They make such a darling and quick baby gift! (pdf directions and a tutorial.) I bought flannel for both girlie and boyish sets for the hope chest, but these aren't finished yet. Soon, I hope!
Oh my lord! I have a blanket in my house that was a gift from my mother in law. It was originally made by her mother years ago, I swear it has that exact same lamb pattern, as well as several other animals done in a similar style. She had one for each of her children.
