Well this was going to be a post about our nursery for our soon to arrive son, but on Tuesday night, things all started happening and he arrived on Wednesday! A couple of weeks early, but big and happy and health. 7 lbs, 15 oz and 20 inches of boy! We’ve named him Gabriel David and we’ll call him Gabe.
Pretty much no question that he’s the best thing I’ve made so far!!
Now on to some photos of the nursery that I took on Tuesday, just hours before I went into labor. It’s a small room, so it’s hard to photograph but we’ve had a great time putting it together.
The quilt you see here was made by my friend Liz Harvatine and it’s so beautiful… It works perfectly in the room and we’re thrilled to have it.
Next amazing quilt in the room is made by Jacquie Gering and boy do I love it.
Not to worry – there will be a post in the future showing more detailed shots of all of the handmade goods this kid is lucky enough to have received. He is seriously one lucky lil’ guy!
He’s so lucky that these little feet…
…already have their first pair of Cons!
So now that he’s here… I’ll really need to find the time to get started on making him a quilt!

Winner of the Quilting Modern giveaway is Bronwen – congrats! Keep a look out for an email from me.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Congrats!
Can’t wait to see more of Gabe and his room.
welcome gabe!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! He is gorgeous. I love his room. My son’s name is Gabriel too. If anyone asks him his name he always says ‘its Gabe’. That’s why we picked Gabriel too because we liked Gabe. In Australia your name always gets shortened. When my son was at daycare they went through a phase adding a ‘y’ to the end of everything, so he also got Gabey. Me gabe is 6 now and his friends from daycare still call him Gabey.
Congratulations! And welcome to little Gabe.
Congrats and welcome baby Gabe!
Congratulations! He’s adorable.
Congratulations!! He’s totally beautiful–and so is having your baby two weeks early! Our first was early, and so was #2, and with a summer baby, it’s awesome. He’s gorgeous, and has such a happy room! So excited for all of you!
Awww so adorable! Congratulations Alissa! I took a quilting class from you 2 years ago, and have been sewing steadily ever since, so you’ve also probably made many sewers out of beginners. All the best to both of you
Congratulations!!! What a sweet boy.
Congrats! He is adorable.
Congratulations!!! You are going to have so much fun with your little boy.
Congratulations, Alissa! He is a keeper for sure. Enjoy the snuggles and that sweet new baby smell for me.
i’m so happy for you…i had to drop in and see another picture of him. can’t wait to meet him in person!!
Well Baby Gabe is a doll, congrats!!
Congratulations – the most gorgeous thing in the world – a little Babe…
Yay! Yay! Yay! Congratulations. So happy for you. Welcome little Gabe.
I highly recommend that you get a Belly Bandit. Shrinks the belly seriously fast. I know it sounds vain. I didn’t do it the first time b/c I thought it sounded silly. But it really, really works. So get it today—put it on and keep it on for 6 weeks.
And other than that, enjoy your bébé!

I highly recommend that you get a Belly Bandit belly wrap. Shrinks the belly seriously fast. I know it sounds vain. I didn’t do it the first time b/c I thought it sounded silly. But it really, really works. So get it today—put it on and keep it on for 6 weeks.
And other than that, enjoy your bébé!
Just gorgeous! Congratulations to you all.
PS Make him a quilt for his first birthday. You don’t need to do anything before then.
