Before I created Mimis Favorite, every time I received a baby shower invitation or a birth announcement, I was faced with the same old question, “What should I get the new baby?” Something practical, an heirloom, what about sizing?
Then one day while working on a project with a few yards of houndstooth fabric, I discovered how a bit of crimson edging and a charging baby elephant embroidered in a corner would make an adorable blanket for any Alabama Crimson Tide fan’s newest bundle of joy.
I was concerned that just a receiving blanket and only one university would not be enough to support an ongoing enterprise, however.
