ashlee's pink & yellow baby shower

tira pugmire, judy pugmire (tira's M.I.L.) and i threw a baby shower for ashlee last weekend. it was a really nice shower and i was excited to be a part of it. ashlee is expecting her 3rd baby and first girl. her youngest is 5 and so they are reentering the world of baby again and i am so excited for her and her family.

here are the details...

the invitation: i made these invites to imitate the pom poms that i was making for decoration. the colors we chose were yellow and pink. 

the decor: i did this pom pom banner and judy made this sweet flag banner, both of which ashlee could take home to decorate her baby room. judy did some lovely flower arrangements.

 

the favor: we made these cute flower hair clips to serve as a garland and the favor that each lady could take home.

  

the food: tira made assorted muffins, i did a fruit platter with dip and a spinach & egg Florentine casserole, judy made scones. all of the food was delish! i am linking the recipes for most of the dishes below.

i made little food labels in the same style as the invites & we wrapped lemonade filled bottles from ikea with fabric and a diaper pin.

quilting project: tira headed up this quilting project. each guest created their own quilt square using a few templates and fabric that we'd previously applied heat and bond to. they ironed their designs down and then signed their name on a square that will be on the back of the quilt. tira and i got together to finish up the squares that didn't get used at the shower. tira is putting it all together (stitching around the designs, sewing the blocks together, binding and quilting.) i am SO excited to see it finished and i will definitely show you guys a picture of the final product.

 

the presents: we opened presents after socializing and working on the quilting project. ashlee got a bunch of really cute gifts and i wish i had gotten more pictures. i can cheat and show you what i gave her, because i photographed it beforehand. i made her a cap, booties and a couple of jersey knit headbands.
