Embroidery For Baby Leo

Somehow I missed getting this finish posted although it was delivered months ago! Better late than never! 

I purchased this embroidery baby blanket kit probably 10 years ago. My siblings were headed to their homeschool basketball tournament and I ended up in hobby lobby with time to burn.

Hehe, I bought like three different kits that day!

I didn't get it started until a few years ago.  I didn't know where it would end up but I needed a hand project and it resurfaced. 

It is a fun little design, I really like the animals! The embroidery is simple and went quickly. Once I finished i wanted to give it something more. The background fabric isn't anything real special.

I happened to have a piece of aqua fleece floating around so I decided it would do the trick. I did a simple stitch and flip before adding some simple tie stitches to hold her in place.

 Shortly after I finished it, one of the sweet homeschool basketball girls from that same tournament team had her first baby! I thought it was quite fitting to pass this along to her and baby Leo. So precious!
