Babies: They’re all the rage in Portland.

I went to my friend’s baby shower this past weekend and found not only the celebratory mommy-to-be but three other expecting ladies (should have been four but one couldn’t make it). A co-worker is about ready to give birth too. And my best friend in Alabama is due any month now. But me? Nah, no pressure.

So with all of this wonderful creation going on in the world I thought I’d make some baby art. Here are the steps toward Pfefferkorn’s special photo album that I made for Elizabeth. (That’s Peppercorn for you non-German speakers).

I painted the trees first and added the “Keebler” leaves (thanks Lara).

Then I cut and hand-stitched a little quilt together with some favorite fabrics.


The finished piece was hand-stitched on to a chipboard cover for the photo album.
Tick…tick…tick…
