~"Tag blankets are a fun, portable way for babies to explore textures, colors and feeling with their hands." My niece is expecting her first baby this month and I made her a tag blanket as well as some other baby items. The best part of this, in my opinion is, all the tags on this as well as all the lace and trim on all the other items I made came from my mother's sewing room. The baby will never have known her great-grandmother but she will still have a piece of her through me.
What a special gift- I can see your great niece using it for her own child someday saying "These ribbons and lace pieces belonged to your great great grandmother!" It's adorable!

LOL! a great new project for you to use your machine on @olivetreeann thanks Ann. Wouldn't that be nice?!
What a wonderful idea, and so great to have those laces and ribbons from your mother. Beautiful result!
This reminds me of the "fidget quilts" that some are making for people with alzheimer's and other dementia. The Deep Creek Needlecraft Club, which I belong to had a project a couple years back of making some for a local care center. I don't sew (thank God you don't have to sew to belong, despite the name of the club) so I had little to offer to that effort, but thought it was a great project.
