Bug A Boo Two
This is the latest addition to the gifts for my new nephew. For this burp cloth I used the same little applique from the quilt from earlier. I would like to make a few more perhaps with bees and butterflies. The other motif on the quilt is a flower which looks good on the quilt but would be too girlie on a burp cloth. I am thinking that a set of three would be perfect. I machine appliqued it so I think it will be plenty durable in the wash.
It is all coming together quite well. I will be sure and take some photos before I give it to him. They haven't decided on a name yet and so I'll save the monograms for later. (I love to do a baby's initials or monogram for a gift.) I really enjoy doing layette projects. There is something so wonderful about making things for a new little person.
Only a couple of weeks to go and I can finally meet the little guy. My sister is not so romantic about the whole thing...but of course she is the one nine months pregnant. She is excited but not in the ga ga way I seem to be. But of course I am. I am the Auntie.
You've been making the most wonderful and loving gifts for your soon-to-arrive nephew. It's so much fun being an aunt--I love it myself and now they call me "The Great Wonderful Aunt June." Aw shucks--I think it's sweet.

How cute! I need to make a few more for my daughter-in-law and you have given me an idea. Thanks! I also want to say that you always present such a pretty table. I have noticed before how much care you put into it! What time is dinner?
