20. Mirabilia Baby Round Robin


This was a top secret project for our dear RR friend Rachel.
She discovered that she was expecting a baby so a group of us decided to stitch a "Mirabilia Baby and Child" themed project for her.

My bubble comes from Fairy Tales, a Mirabilia chart from 1996:


I chose this design because of the book.  The most wonderful thing you can do for a child is to instil a love of books by reading to them.
