    Beautiful work Janet. Lots of love in those stitches!
    I made a christening gown and bonnet for my BFF about 13 yrs. ago. It has been worn by 5 of her grandchildren. Wish I had taken a photo before I delivered it to her. I have only a head/ chest shot of the first child wearing it. Believe it is residing somewhere near Houston now. Was a fun project, bet you enjoyed it also.
