My latest project was baby bedding for our second son and his wife who are expecting twins. I got this project completed and put in the boxes just the day before the baby shower. I had kept it all hidden from them and everyone else except my husband and daughter who of course live here. I was told by my son and his wife that they wanted the theme of their nursery to be Dr. Seuss's Thing 1 and Thing 2. I had forgot what they even were till after I heard it was what they wanted. I thought how cute will this be, but had know idea how cute till it all came together. I made complete sets of a blanket, sheet, bumper, diaper holder, and organizer for each baby as well as a nursing cover for her if she chooses to do that. I made the sheets flannel since it it going to be cold soon here in Oklahoma. Our other grand babies were born in the summer so there was no need in warm snuggle sheets. I wanted to make these one of a kind like the bedding I had made before for our two other grandsons. I didn't want to just buy fabric like everyone else could do. I have Floriani software to embroidery one of a kind things which I love to do. I got these Dr. Seuss designs online for the different book covers such as Cat in the Hat, Hop on Pop, Are You my Mother Go Dog Go, One Fish Two Fish, as well as the main one Thing 1 and Thing 2 and digitized them. Since these designs are a copy written item I need to let you all know I made no money from them, nor will I be selling any more. These were a one time only one of a kind gift. I will probably embroidery some them out on a purse or something for me or on a project for my grandsons but they will always be free and not for sale. I loved these stories when my kids were little. I hope you enjoy looking at my handy work. Thanks needs to be said to my sweet husband Scott who has encouraged me and believed in me, and B-Sew Inn and Cindy for their encouragement and telling me to be fierce
Thing 1 and 2 Sorry some of the pictures are sideways. I couldn't figure out how to fix them.
One of the sets
Both blankets and the baby bed set up
I'm not much for primary colors and love aqua, pink, purple and lime green. I have to say though that this turned out so cute and will be adorable with two sweet little boys in them.
Nursing cover, it is a little blurry but I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Plus it is another one of a kind and how cute will that be out in public nursing the boys?
These were the quilt blocks that I needed to use the Floriani software and the split an design feature. Cindy at B-Sew Inn helped me with that and now I know how to do it when I need to embroidery a design that doesn't fit in my largest hoop. Thanks Cindy!!
I know you can still see some of the water soluble stabilizer, but it will wash away after it is washed. This just kept the fuzzy fluff out of the way while I sewed it on.
What a warm flannel sheet. Each sheet has a different Thing on it. This is Thing 2.
This is the organizer. I have been told they are very handy to keep this and that in.
Name block. The other blanket has Alvin Scott on it. Each of them also have a block on the that says Love Mema and PaPa
Each time I looked at these while digitizing and then stitching them out I kept saying "It is so cute".
Hope you enjoy them.
