April this month

Another request  for a baby blanket -- make it trendy!  Surely I had some fabrics suitable for backing that was trendy! This would enable the blanket to be made quickly, rather than waiting for fabric to arrive through the post- to be used for the backing.

 

Well,  hello April.

 I thought I was being fancy, using a pink multi coloured variegated thread- to monogram the name onto a piece of natural coloured linen.  However, here was no pink on that spool of thread, no pink at all!

 

No pink on this spool of thread.
Maybe colours for the world cup in soccer / football that is on T.V. at present.

Instead, I found a pink spool of thread to utilise; perfectly matching the Tanya Whelan print I had used for the backing- on this baby blanket.

Are these Tanya Whelan prints trendy enough for a backing fabric?

 

Welcome to the world, baby April.  May those months speed by quickly for you.
