Mackinsie's baby shower gifts.

Had such a lovely day yesterday and the baby shower for Dan and Emily's little bundle to be here in Dec.  Got to visit with family and friends and boy did they get a lot of beautiful baby things.  She is going to be the best dressed baby in Grundy Co., have a lovely chariot for her rides and bouncy chairs for the dogs to keep here rockin. 

I gave them hand made bibs and burp cloths plus a string quilt I made in 2015, I made to baby quilts then one for a girl and one for a boy.  Will have to wait on the boy one at a later date.

The pink one is for Missy Mack.

mess up of finished bib

So here is the messed up baby bib, all done and ready to press but my iron was way too hot and burned a hole in the middle.  Don't know if I'll be able to recover it with an applique or just move on to another one.  I need to get to Walmart to buy a new iron, I just buy the $10 or $15 irons then throw them away when they start acting up.  Never had one over heat before so guess I had better pay closer attention before I burn the house down.  These are quick and easy to make so will get more put together for our great grand daughter due in Dec.  I'll post photos of them when all done with the bibs and burp cloths.  Going to have a good day in the sewing room.
