A Gift for a Girl
Designed by J.G. Whittier Published by Just CrossStitch (June 1998) This was a very nice baby pattern I found in the Just
CrossStitch Magazine. It is not overly babyish and can be cherished by the
child and parents for many years to come. I have done this twice now. I did
the first one for Jules Stigers, daughter of a friend and coworker, born
September 17, 1999. I did the second one for Chloé Guillaud, daughter
of my French friends
, born on her mother's birthday, May 16, 2001. I used the words from the
"A Gift for a Boy" pattern since the wording was interchangeable.

did the framing of both of pieces, but I forgot to get a picture of the
finished one for Chloé

Pooh Birth Announcement Designer not Stated on Design Published by Leisure Arts After years of trying, Chris and Holly, who went on a Disney Cruise with us in December of 1998, were finally blessed with a little baby boy. Brandon was born on my birthday, Septemeber 12, 1999. This piece seemed a nice way to commemorate the occaision (although I had already anticipated the blessed event and bought the pattern before the cruise was ever scheduled). I thought I might try something a little different with the finishing of this piece. I made it into a pillow (the first and last time I will ever do that) using a light blue denim piece of fabric for the back. And, just in case anyone is interested, those curved needles work wonders when you have to repair a loose thread after finishing! |
