Beatrix Potter Afghan Baby Blanket

 

I'm going to share something with you today that I actually made 5 and half years ago.

 

 

I got it out to show a friend, and because we're all friends here, I thought you would like to see it to.

 

I started stitching this towards the end of my pregnancy.

 

When I went on maternity leave I thought I'd have plenty of time to finish it before the baby was born.

 

I'd only been on maternity leave less than a week when Violet decided it was time for her to make her appearance into this World.

 

Would you believe that I was actually sitting on the sofa stitching Samuel Whiskers when my waters broke (is that too much information???? Apologies).

 

I had to finish the rest off as and when I got the opportunity.  You know how it is with these babies, they don't allow you to sit idly crafting away for long.

But, it did eventually get finished.



 

And, what a beautiful Afghan Baby Blanket it is.

 

All that was left to do, was add Violet's name and date of birth.

 



 

I forget just how teeny tiny she was.
