One of Carlin's best friends back home recently had a baby girl. It took me a couple of months, but I finally got a gift stitched and in the mail.
Her name is Beatrice Rose, so I did this burp cloth for her. The flower is from
Embroidery Library and I used Embird Alphabet #38 for her first name.

Patrick calls Beatrice his Little Honey Bea, so I made this bib. The bees were from
Sew Forum and I used an alphabet I have from
Oregon Patch Works (I can't find direct links for either of these).

Patrick is a lawyer and Jenny is an officer, so I thought they might get a kick out of this idea. The
badge and
capitol building are from
Embroidery RN Designs, and the text was added with Embird Alphabet #4.

Finally I made coordinating shirts for Beatrice and her big sister. I didn't want Annabelle to feel left out when the package arrived! (Annabelle got a quilt when she was born, but unfortunately I don't have the time to make Beatrice one... I don't even have the time to work on poor Dashiell's quilt!)

The Curlz applique monogram is from
Embroidery Boutique. I added the text with Embird Alphabet #17.
