Non-Christmas Presents

These are actually NOT Christmas presents, so I can share them NOW.

My Mom and my niece, Rachel, are heading to China in a couple of months. Rachel's mother took her last year and they worked in a private orphanage (started and run by an amazing individual) for special needs babies. Rachel loved it and is funding her own trip this time.

I wanted to make something for her to bring. (I hear my sister is cranking out burp pads and blankets. She tends to do projects en mass.) I managed two blankets.

One for boys.



One for girls.


Flannel on one side and I'm loving the quilting cottons on the backs! Joanns comes through for me sometimes.

Anthony wanted to make something for the lady friend's Christmas/Hanuka present. He's actually been nagging me to help him sew something. Funny.



He made Lily a pillowcase out of the paisley, with gray polka dot for the trim. Really cute! ...but he wrapped it before I got a picture. So...just imagine....
