Tag Blankets
I'm so excited to finally show these!! One of my friends made me one when I had Owen. I loved it so much, I had to make one and add my own twist.
I made them like a rag quilt with a solid brown on the back. The different fabrics will provide different textures for baby to feel, and the ribbons are of course, for the "tag" effect.

The "boy" one I made for my sister.


The "girl" one for one of my husbands friends baby.

I decided last minute to make them more personal with a monogram letter of their first name. I've never done this before...it was interesting. I need my mom's nice machine that does the blanket stitch around the applique.
I love how they turned out and their babies will be thanking me when they are sucking away in about 4 or 5 months!!!

my kids never had one of these, but I'm sure babies love them. All your projects end up so cute.

These are so stinkin' cool! You are one crafty chica. I still feel like such a dork thinking these were from that other site. You are a good friend to put up with me!
