Baby shower gift

Kathy is planning to post about the shower she threw for our cousins and their precious miracle baby. It was a great party, with most of the family there. We always have such a nice time when we're together.

As part of our gift to them, I made some burp cloths out of diapers. I bought a dozen, but ended up only making four burp cloths. I wanted to make each one different and kinda ran out of ideas after making four-so I guess I'll make more some other time. They weren't hard to make, but were a little time consuming. Mostly because I've had my sewing machine for a year and haven't used the programming feature enough in that time to remember what to do without trial and error.

I put strips of flannel on three of the four, then squares of the flannel on the fourth one. For the two above, I stitched (meaning I programmed my sewing machine to stitch) the baby's name and initials.

For these two, I used the only boyish design my machine had. I've got hearts, scallops, apples, bunnies, and several flower designs. But for boys, just the trucks. I suppose designs to stitch on boys' clothing are not much in demand. I ought to get some girly flannel and stitch up some pink ones-those flowers, hearts, and scallops would all work for a girl.

I'll probably get around to that about the time I've completely forgotten how to program my machine.
