Grandmothers will love this one. It looks like a real embroidery hoop project: a blue and coral kite with a tail of little bows, puffy cross-stitch clouds and vines of tiny flowers stitched on natural linen. Crafty families will spot the love in every stitch.
The colors are soft and balanced, so it works for a boy, a girl or a gender surprise. It is ideal for a homey shower on a porch or in a living room, a quilting-circle crowd, or any mom who knits, sews or keeps a hand-embroidered pillow on the couch. Add kite decorations, spools of ribbon as favors and a guest book where everyone writes a wish for the baby.
Fill in the mom’s name, the date and the place. Everything stays large and clear on a phone screen, even for relatives who read without glasses.
