When there's a baby on the way everyone know's you're going to need burp cloths ...
and bibs ...
and wash cloths.
So obviously I got stuck in a made a pile of necessaries ready for my grandson Oliver's birth.
Left to right those fabrics are:
Bears in Woods - Get Together! by David Walker Studios for Free Spirit, Westminster Fibers
Giraffes Special Delivery in White/Tangerine by Quilting Treasures
Lions - Safari Soiree in Teal by Dan Stiles for Birch Fabrics
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Flannel by Eric Carle under license to Andover Fabrics
Squirrels and Nuts - Get Together! by David Walker Studios for Free Spirit, Westminster Fibers
Quite curiously Oliver has never 'possied' as my Dad would have said.
I wondered about this phrase as I've never heard anyone else use it and I've discovered posset is an old English word for semi digested milk brought up by babies after a feed - as well as being a medieval word for a British hot drink of spiced milk curdled with wine or ale. These days posset usually refers to a type of milky dessert.
Before Oliver I've never known a baby not to posset, how fortunate are Jack and Ana and I'm sure Ana can find other uses for this unnecessary pile of burp cloths?!!!
The bibs will no doubt come into their own once Oliver starts on solids
