    Depends on the condition. If the condition is very good, I would pay up to $5. Then again, if it is getting worn out, then maybe about $2.

    Babies love the feel of soft satin. Use the lightest polyester charmeuse satin you can find and wash it a couple times before sewing it to the quilt to make it softer. Don't use the easy to find crepe backed satin, it's far too heavy. Finish the edges with a soft satin binding, and be sure there are no thread knots sticking out. My babies all became quite attached to the soft satin of their blankets, in many cases preferring the satin to what I thought was the softer flannel. They would grip the soft satin while falling asleep, or when they were upset, or when they were just playing. Use polyester as it washes and dries well. Fibers such as viscose and acetate turn hard and brittle when machine washed and dried. Silk is too expensive, can be destroyed by baby barf and *other* baby by-products, and also won't stand up to washing and drying.

    Mabye our american crack babies have an even better future then those orphans over seas. Its probably less likely that a baby here is going to be exploited in the sex trade, mabye they dont have such caring organizations or orphanages there…mabye they exploit youngsters in more horrific ways overseas and the children over their are more then likely worse off then our orphans here. The chances of them getting needed medical attention is probably alot less likely over seas as well. Have you thought of that? Also how many people that arent celebritites adopt from this country? Mabye celebrities just want to go where they are needed and mabye it is a trend either way it should not be critisized because a child is a child no matter where it lives and they are still doing a good thing.

    It's called crocheting (pronounce "kro – SHAY – ing")or just crochet, and you can use any kind of yarn, the same as for knitting. Pure cashmere is a bad choice because it can't be cleaned, and because the fibers come off, and baby will breathe them in. You should look for a nice baby yarn. (or wool, as you brits call it. But it won't always be made of wool.)
    Here are some cashmere blends suitable for babies.

    Great idea for corners. Would like to see a closeup of the square you sewed at the corner.

    Yes, I know what you mean.

    My daughter was like that, always in motion. I made sure to tire her out pretty well before nap and bedtimes to make sure she got enough solid hours of sleep.

    Otherwise, she was a great kid to have around. I put her in a front pack facing outward until she was too big to carry like that, and then in a backpack peeking over my shoulder.

    She loved being with me as I cooked, rolled out dough, ironed, worked in the garden, etc. and I wasn't spastic worried that she was going to kill herself because she could climb out of anything (crib, playpen, whatever) from four or five months old and up.

    She swam like a fish from a very young age, enjoyed ballet from age 3, and ran triathalons (swim, bicycle, run) untill age 12, when she took up field hockey and tennis.

    She's grown now, but goes rock climbing, still dances professionally sometimes, and is in med school, which is physically gruelling along with the mental side.

    Just try to get the training in with him BEFORE he goes off recklessly–I had her in swim lessons before she could walk, taught her to drive at age 12 with LOTS of rules to make sure she'd be well in control of a vehicle before that superactive body of hers took over.

    I think it paid off because she seeks out the 'proper' way to do things and takes lessons before going into frantic activity . . . LOL.

    I think you've got the right idea. Good luck

    Don't use invisible thread — it's like wire, and it's possible the baby's fingers will become entangled in the stitches. Just use plain old dressmaker thread in a matching color. Cotton or spun poly.
