1. The Baby Quilt: As soon as I found out they were getting a little boy in their family, I knew I was going to make a baby quilt! I was inspired by a quilt I'd seen online here, and decided to adapt it to boy colors.
I bought the fabric the day Beckham was born (July 1). Luckily, baby quilts come together fairly quickly! I finished it on the 12th -- the night before the shower. It took me forever to pick out the fabrics, but I am happy with how it all came together!
2. The Food: Betsy's friend, Kylie, and I worked together to host the shower. She brought cookies, drinks, and the most delicious peanut butter chocolate rice krispy treats! If you've read any of the blog in the last year, you know that I am totally inspired by the recipes from Our Best Bites. I knew I wanted to use their whipped frosting to make some fun cupcakes. I also found a recipe for fruit salsa and homemade cinnamon chips. The leftovers may or may not have been my entire lunch the next day!
We had a good turnout, and Betsy was able to get a lot of adorable outfits for Beckham! I hope she could feel how much love we all have for her, and how happy we are for her new little boy!
Izzy was able to be here for the shower, and she had a lot of fun:
My boys loved the "after-party" . . . they used all of the tissue paper and bows to play dress-up. Ryan, it was not my idea -- I promise!

I love the baby quilt pattern that you made! Can I sign up for that pattern just with pink instead of the blue?
So, so fun! I'm so happy for Betsy and Karson. The quilt you made is so adorable! I envy your talent.
Thanks again Jennifer! That night was so fun and you made it so special for us. We LOVE the quilt too!
That looks great!
