Little Ben's Bumper Pads



OK, so this has a very long story to go with it .... I offered to make his bedding after we found out she was pregnant. I owed her a big one, we bartered. My friend said thanks but no thanks. I offered to help again, we did some sewing 1 day (I got the crib bedskirt made that day). We tried to unsucessfully schedule another sew day. She had the baby, and an incomplete nursery set. Little Ben was born with a broken heart, literally. He's all fixed up and growing like a weed now, almost 3 months. I visited them about a month and a half ago and saw that the bedding was getting there, but not finished. I offered to take it home and finish it. I got side tracked by other projects and committments.

Anyway, she did her own thing. It's wonderful ..... She took a neutral fabric and made her color splashes in the outline of Winnie the Pooh heads (she likes the traditional and was not happy with the Pooh choices out there). We put double-sided adhesive to apply them and then she outlined all the heads with a running stitch. It's going to be so cute when Ben FINALLY gets his crib bedding!

Now on to finish the binding on his quilt!
