Remember this baby blanket I bought last summer?
What a sad mess....
Not anymore!!
I have it all fixed up and looking lovely. Its ready to be hung up on a wall. =)
I know the white thread used for her body outline really disappears with the background fabric, but I knew I couldn't redo it and have it look so nice. I figured it was best to leave it as it is.
Love the lamb...
I am very glad I was chosen to rescue this little gem. =)
This looks fabulous! What a huge difference! I am sure the original maker would be so happy to have her hard work rescued. You were meant to have this. Nice work!

ReplyDeleteOh Amy, what an amazing job you did. You gave it new life and a new chance to be loved. And is that a new header I see? Super cute!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent! I never could have imagined such a change. Kudos to you for cutting it up and rearranging things to give it new life - and color with those extra fabrics. And I noticed your new banner last week. Very nice, all of it.
