~Lillian's On the Go Bag~
A few years back we were so excited over the thought of a girl grand child. Our son and his wife opted for the test, yet after the first ultrasound, they already knew. So what was a new grandmother to do before the wonderful birth?
Why create and make oodles of bibs, kozy gowns, blankets, spit cloths and bags. This was a theme bag with the same color thought in mind. Changing pad included and with passy hooks tucked inside.
Love how all the spit cloths turned out.. and I puchased a dozen white cotton diapers to make them. You can still see the fade line on the cloth as I used it to mark the design. Had to snap the shot prior to wrapping the gift.
You'll see the other bibs and cute ideas I had so much fun doing. From the bassinet to the crib bedding and curtains and quilts galore.. my daughter inlaw finally asked that I don't make anything for some time. That was four years ago.. too bad I didn't listen to her. (wink wink)
Enjoy.

I'll also have to do the first gifts for my granddaughter. She will be born in July. I´m working in a company during the week but weekends do not do anything else as work for my GD.
Is a wonderfull feeling to know that we will have soon a little baby at home, isn´t it?

Still searching, hubby as my 2009 back up stored, that's when it was purchased. I thought it was a Great Notions or a Morehead Collection.

Good Morning.. I tried the smaller at first and that is for a newborn, then I opted to the 8x8 hoop for babylock and then went to the 8x12 (which is the largest so far on babylock)
I did extend the largest bib file to fit the 8x12. I soo loved how they turned out. And they make great baby shower gifts too!!

697292Just love the scalloped bibs may I ask where you got the pattern and designs from
These are a great collection to start for the new baby- I bet there will be more before the baby arrives

actually the top was duck cloth, perfect for everyday wash and wear and the backing was any prewashed cotton scrap that I had. The diapers were purchased at target or wamart in a 12 pack. I tell you your bag of scraps comes in pretty handy with small projects.

yes, for many feeding or gatherings. Great fun in doing each bib differently.
