a walk in the woods

Hey y’all,

It’s been a while but I wanted to record this baby book. My third nephew was born in 2014 and I intended to make him a fabric book for his 1st birthday as I had his brothers. (You can see theirs here and here.) Well, one thing led to another, so this ended up being a Christmas gift instead. I got confused about the size and this one ended up being 12″ square instead of 10″ like its predecessors. It’s a little bit too big, I think, but I’m otherwise very happy with the outcome. There are a few hand-stitched elements (see close-ups; the nest isn’t hand-stitched but I wanted to show the layering).
