During my daughter (Megan) and son-in-law (Mark's) recent visit from England, I organized a baby shower for her. They are expecting their first baby in January and although she was only 12 weeks at the time, I decided to go ahead rather than having to ship all the presents at a later stage. They haven't bought anything yet but went home with a suitcase filled to the brim with nearly everything necessary. A few items which she will use when baby is bigger, was left at home which we will take with on our visit next year.
Before I started on my quilting journey in 2010 I actually had time to do other things beside quilting :-) Feeling rather bored whilst watching movies with my husband, I knitted baby stuff which to Megan seemed rather crazy at the time. But, she is pregnant now....

As Megan absolutely adores Pooh Bear, I made this nappy cake with Pooh and friends.
I also made a duvet cover featuring Baby Pooh with Tigger, Eyeore and Piglet also as babies. I used a pre-printed panel I bought at a quilt shop and just added the back. |

All the presents. Most of my colleagues at work gave money towards a rather substantial voucher which M & M spend at Baby City.

A green jersey with a teddy bear appliqued with satin - knitted by me.

| A white one. I knitted a blanket with this pattern as well in blue, green, white and pink squares. |
 |
| A yellow romper embellished with a white teddy bear. I knitted a bunch of socks as well. |

I found this cute Baby Shower image on the Internet and used it as a thank you card for all the guests. I added a message from M & M with a chocolate.
