Best Baby Shower

August 31, 2009 By Carole

Remember that Baby Chalice Blanket I posted a few weeks ago?  Yesterday I was finally able to give it to the mom-to-be when I had the privilege of attending a baby shower at Terry’s house for my dear friend Cheryl.

What a wonderful afternoon we all had!  We ate yummy food and had lots of time for chatting and relaxing.  And Cheryl got a plethora of hand crafted gifts.

Cheryl with Sharon's quilt

Blogless Sharon made her this quilt and she received 2 other quilts, too.

Kim's bee blob

There was also the infamous Baby Bee Blanket from Kim.

Kathy's baby dress

And the cutest little dress from Kathy.

And so much more – baby sweaters and hats and socks and booties.This is going to be a wonderfully warm little baby.

Cheryl

I’m not just talking about the wool here.  The love my friends and I have for Cheryl, shown in such a tangible way yesterday, is deep and full.   And I know we can’t wait to surround this new little life with all that love.

And wool.

    That was an awesome shower. That is going to be one cozy baby. Wonderful to see you!

    That baby is going to have lots of “aunt’s” to love it (her?) and keep you cozy and warm.

    How wonderful! Lucky Cheryl and baby!

    Oh, lucky baby! And lucky for all of you to have Cheryl. She’s one of a kind.

    I didn’t know Cheryl was pregnant! I guess that explains why she hasn’t been blogging! I was in a class with her at SOAR and admired her FLS from afar. She’s also the reason I bought the Galwain pattern, although there’s no way it’ll look that good on me!

    What a lovely afternoon–it sounds like you all feted Cheryl and her baby in style! That will be a warm and much-loved baby.

    Those are such lovely (and warm) gifts. That is one lucky mother and babv.

    Cheryl is truly a wonderful person and her little girl is going to have a lot of “aunts” – I’m working on a little something for the baby, too…

    Gorgeous pix, gorgeous women, gorgeous gifts! I so wish I could have been there, but it just didn’t seem wise.

    Wonderful to bring a child into such a circle of friends. Women rock, do they not?!

    It *was* the best baby shower ever! Left me warm and fuzzy. Loved your Chalice baby blankie.

    It was a wonderful day. I hope Cheryl felt warm and loved. I think we are honored to be honorary aunties! Your Chalice was a beautiful match of yarn and pattern.

    Such lovely things – no wonder I have seen so many gorgeous baby items popping up all over the East Coast ! 🙂
    All the Aunties have really shone this time. And Cheryl looks so beautiful!

    who doesn’t love a baby shower. all the love in that room going out to cheryl and her precious little one. what a great day and great friends

  21. Danielle says

    If love was measured in hand-crafted items – and I think it absolutely CAN be measured that way! – then this will be one well-loved wee one. I think that this shower says volumes about Cheryl and the kind of friend she is to others – so many people who love her and her baby. (Also, when I have kids, all of these people can be invited to my shower too, ok??)

  22. anne says

    awww, look how beautiful cheryl is! what a wonderful party . . so many nice handmade gifts.
