June OMG: Big Sister Gift

My cousin Tim & his wife Nichole are expecting their second child later this month.  I have a baby quilt well under way and know I can get it finished fairly soon.  When I give a baby quilt for a second child, I like to add a smaller homemade gift for the big sibling.  Big Sister Emma is four and a half.  Making her a big sister gift is my One Monthly Goal for the linky party hosted by Patty of Elm Street Quilts.

Yikes!  This needs to be ironed!
I have not yet decided what to make for Emma.  I know she really likes stuffed animals but doesn't have a particular favorite animal or favorite color.  I have two different stuffed toy panels that I could make--one is a penguin and one is the Little Red Riding Hood doll by Stacy Iest Hsu.  Or maybe I'll make a stuffed animal-sized quilt that matches baby sister's quilt. Making a decision is part of the goal!

  5. That is such a good idea. What about the funky friends critters? I love the sloth.
