Summary

The birth of a baby is a special event and a traditional time for gifts. What could be better than a gift that has been made with love by an adoring grandmother, aunt or friend, which may even be passed down through future generations. Here, Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell - herself a doting grandmother! - has put together a collection of 35 beautiful projects, all designed for the different stages of a baby or toddler's development. For newborns, make a cosy patchwork quilt from off-cuts of cashmere sweaters or dangly toys to hang above the cot. For an active baby, create a floor rug with ribbon tags and soft fabric flowers for little fingers to investigate. Once your baby has become aware of the wider world, try making some cuddly toys or a fabric book embellished with appliqué animals. For toddlers moving into their own bedroom, you could make a decorated picture frame or a doll-sized blanket for keeping their favourite toys warm. With charmingly illustrated stepby- step instructions and beautiful photographs, To Baby with Love is the perfect collection of gifts for any newborn or toddler. 35 charmingly illustrated step-by-step projects. From newborns to toddlers, here are ideas for cot quilts, pillows, play mats, a nappy bag and changing mat, toys and more.Taps into the trend for homemade gifts.
