Projects include number appliques to celebrate monthly milestones, jumbo fabric blocks, animal-theme rattles, changing pads, and quilts.(Quilts & More, 5/1/14)Babies are life’s best blessing. It’s why we stitch types can’t get enough of making baby gifts. Angela’s new book is the perfect source for sweet, simple projects any baby (and mom) will enjoy.Angela offers a few quilts (we especially love Playing Jacks), as well as adorable soft toys (Ollie the Owl is a must-see) and some practical and pretty things for moms. The Nursing Cover-Up and Carryall Bag are each quick to sew and would make you any mom’s new BFF.Our fave project, though, is the Play Gym. Some of us remember the exorbitant amount of moolah we plunked down for a play gym made with yucky fabrics and dull toys. Angela gives us easy-peasy instructions for covering arches with pipe insulation and plastic conduit tubing. And she’s designed adorable toys to be crafted and hung from loops sewn into the arch covers. It’s finished off with a pretty quilted mat featuring graphic numbers. Makes us wish we were babies again just so we can play more!(Generation Q Magazine, : January/February 2014)
