This week I'm working on a baby quilt for my next little granddaughter, due two months today. We went to Len's Mills last week to look for a nice quilt panel, and I discovered three Flower Fairy panels. Each one had a selection of Cecily M Barker's Flower Fairies in a particular colour scheme. I liked the pink one, but it seemed just a bit "too pink", considering one can't ever be 100% sure the baby will actually be a girl until it arrives. So, in order to not tempt fate, I chose the blue and purple panel entitled "Night Fairies"......
It's interesting that I went this exact same route when I was pregnant for the third time myself years ago. In those days we didn't know the sex of the baby beforehand, and after two boys I was really, really hoping for a girl. So I made cross-stitched blue Flower Fairy bedding, thinking it would work for a baby boy too. Then it turned out to be a little girl after all, and now that she's all grown and is expecting a little girl of her own, I'm going the blue Flower Fairy route again.
Nowadays I keep the Flower Fairy baby bedding in my antique buggy....
