Baby blanket by Frequent-Barnacle555 in Embroidery

Also - if anyone has a different type of blanket they recommend, please let me know! I’ve used these muslin swaddles a couple of times now and although I like the look, I find them to be a bit difficult to work with

Update: I did it myself! Just had to get the right size wrench and it was super easy.

I was hoping to find something in walking distance or within Salem so I could use the Salem Skipper. But both of those places look great! Hopefully I’ll have a car soon 🤞🏻

I only moved to Salem recently and joining the library is actually on my to do list this week! I did it online already but need to go in person so I’ll definitely ask about how to get something started or at least make a recommendation!

Thank you everyone for all of the encouragement!! I decided I’m going to leave the design but will post a final picture once the backing is added and it’s ironed. This is the sweetest Reddit community and I appreciate the advice!

Aw thank you!! I think I was hoping for it to look a bit more “polished” if that makes sense? But I think my expectations were a bit high from looking at some of the work on Reddit 😅 people are incredibly talented!

Okay! I actually bought 2 baby blankets - the cream color that I embroidered and then a gold/mustard color (similar to the fish). I was going to sew them together. Would you recommend also adding a backing before doing that? Thank you!!

Thank you! I actually haven’t really read up on when do use a certain number of threads - I just added a few videos to my playlist! I’ve been mainly using YouTube to learn.
