LFL’s Busy Quilt – front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lindsay sent me a picture of the ‘Busy Quilt’ she made for her toddler (my baby friend). What a great idea! It’s a really good idea for a baby gift if you want to make a gift for later – or you don’t get around to the gift until the baby is one.<\/p>\n

It also reminded me of the Fidget Quilts<\/a> that BAM made for people with Alzheimer’s. Lindsay’s, of course, is much more vibrant. The Tula Pink fabrics make the piece visually interesting.<\/p>\n

There are also some differences. In the middle, there are clips to move around that section. This is something to watch out for when making it for a patient or a toddler. Nobody wants the recipient to choke. I am sure Lindsay knows Baby A well enough to put the clips on when she is old enough.<\/p>\n

The bottom middle has woven yarn or string with beads and buttons to move over the yarn. There are also laces, which make me think of the Dressy Bessy-update pattern<\/a> I bought. I never made it for my niece. Now, perhaps, I should make it for Baby A?<\/p>\n

Lindsay also used mesh to good effect. The bobbles are a great choice as are the Curiouser and Curiouser faces.<\/p>\n

I am so fortunate to have such talented friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
