  Polarfleece Hats

  Memory Quilt

  A baby's clothes acquire history so quickly: the blanket she came home from the hospital in, the overalls she wore while learning to crawl, the flannel pajamas she slept in. For those items too precious to give away there is a solution more creative and less cluttering than a box in the attic -- a baby memory quilt that is sure to become an heirloom.
