Alastair, 14 months, with his personal pastry brush at the ready.
When I first saw the machine embroidery design featuring a  rosy red apple with the text, “of Grandma’s eye,” I thought it would be fun to stitch on an outfit for Alastair in recognition of his other grandmother’s love.
As one design in a newly released collection, it tempted me to buy on sight.  But then I realized that it was the idea that appealed to me as much as the design itself. And I could certainly reproduce a satisfactory facsimile of the design. So I did.
Alastair’s paternal grandmother, “Oma,” adores him as much as I do. So I thought this little ready-to-wear set would give her an extra big smile the next time she sees him.
