I got this idea for an adorable baby gift from Pleasant View Schoolhouse. MaddieLynn embroidered the snail and I did the other two. I downloaded free vintage patterns from Needlenthread.com and used freezer paper on the back as a stabilizer, just like Anna recommended. I tried to get some close ups like she did, but my camera wouldn’t cooperate. (Or maybe it was the photographer.)
These will be going to a soon-to-be born baby boy. I bet you can guess what his name will be.
This is a simple and sweet gift that can easily be personalized. I enjoyed the time I spent on it.
