Blanket For Baby Lucia

IMG_7330
I finally finished another project!   My sweet friend, Almudena, was blessed with a baby girl in November of 2010.  Baby Lucia arrived earlier than expected and she is a complete miracle baby, overcoming challenge after challenge.  So here's a special blanket for a VERY special little girl!

I bought this fabric in late summer 2010 from Hancocks.  I just loved the soft colors and the little owl motif.  I bought the softest chenille that I could find as the backing.   This blanket is OHHHH...SOOO...SNUGGLY!

I thought I would try my hand at quilting around the motif, but 3 months of FOG got in the way.   :)  I realized that I need not be an over-achiever and just hurry up and make the blanket before Lucia is a teenager.

I added Lucia's initials and made a ribbon flower brooch that can be put on her baby bag, a hat, a sweater....or whatever!
Welcome to the World, Baby Lucia!  You are a special little girl!
