Embroidered Baby Blanket
Embroidery Design by Angela Atherton
Project Design by Ashley Warren
This month’s project features a beautiful floral corner design with a monogram created and customized in Monogram Wizard Plus®. The design has been stitched on an oh-so-soft ready-to-embroider knit baby blanket perfect for your little one to cuddle up with. The corner design fits perfectly on the corner of the blanket but would also be just as pretty on the neckline of a little girl’s dress, the corners of a luxurious pashmina shawl or stitched all in white on a dainty handkerchief for a bride-to-be.
