Each gift is unwrapped carefully by the excited expectant mother, and thanks to the person giving it and express the type of emotions of how the coming baby will look or feel for the new baby shower presents. A special attention is given on the unwrapped box that contains the homemade baby quilt and is shown to everyone in the room to have a closer look and have the feel of the soft baby flannel and exclusive homemade baby quilt. When you see the admiring faces, you will realize that it was worth investing time in making a perfect homemade baby quilt for the new baby and new expectant mother.
It takes time when making a perfect handmade baby quilt. You spent majority of time alone with the buzz of sewing machine as your buddy. You spend your time in sewing and cutting and in little ripping, while giving a shape to the exclusive baby quilt. You stretch the quilt on the frame by the time thread and needles get ready and your hands imitate the machine when going through the movement of hand quilting. The process involves sewing the layers together (batting, quilt top, backing) to make a finished homemade baby quilt. To complete the finishing touch you need to bind that will border the quilt perimeters. When you bring life to your exclusive homemade baby quilt, you can attach a nice name to the quilt you have created. Your talent, hard work and time give a birth to a new creation that is made of cloth spending its life with the new baby protected in its warmth forever.
Do you memorize the baby shower gift given to the expectant mother? That small baby has grown up? After many years, the gifts that were given to the expectant mother, which one among the rest will you still find in the nursery? You will still find the baby sleeping with the homemade baby quilt or at least kept folded on the bed of the baby. Imagine the quilt pulled around by the baby with the thumb in her/his mouth. This perfect homemade baby quilt is well loved, well-worn and a permanent reminder. This is one of the gifts that is not outgrown or kept in the drawers or closets. It’s worth spending each minute in stitching the homemade baby quilt with love and is added as a permanent reminder for the new baby.
