Pregnant Bellies & Baby Blankets

As I am sure it is true with many of you, I'm convinced there is something in the water because soooo many people in my life are pregnant now. I am thrilled with all the new additions we are going to be have come to the world!

Congrats to all you moms-to-be out there.
(You know who you are!).

That being said, my sister Lisa and I had fun channeling our creative side and put together a few blankets for the family members with the pregnant bellies. We picked the fabrics and ribbons and this amazing woman sewed them together. (So sad we haven't honed the sewing skill yet). 2 of Lisa's kids have blankets similar to these and they are really special to them. These are blankets that will hopefully grow with the babies and take them into childhood.

Here are the pictures of the final products. They look much cuter in the flesh but I had to share regardless. The fronts have fabric designs and the backs are a soft brown blanket.

Meghan's Baby's Blanket:
Top: poka dots. Middle: GoldFish Going Home. Bottom: Strips (red & orange to match the nursey.)

Aiden's Blanket:

Top: Vintage Football Players. Middle: Strips. Bottom: Poka Dots

Parker's Blanket
(we didn't want him to be left out)
Top: Trains. Middle: Bandanna. Bottom: Orange/Blue Strips.

Here are some of the websites that we found the best fabrics. Reprodepot. Sew Mama Sew. Hartsfabric.

I've made one more for my other sister-in-law, Tracy, but I don't want to post yet because I haven't sent it to Utah yet. She is having a girl so it is very different looking than these others. I really like hers too. It has a feminine vintage theme to it. Can't wait to show you.

We hope you like them guys!
