Tim and Jen with Christina's baby shower gift

Last week, we hosted a baby shower for one of our own, Tim Manibusan and his darling wife, Jen. The soon-to-be Mom and Dad were showered with creative gifts by the talented C&T Staff. Stuffed animals, tiny booties, a Sue Astroth hand-knit hat, and a much-appreciated cradle swing delighted the first-time parents. Designer Christina Jarumay even wrapped her gift (above) with proofs from books that Tim has worked on as a Production Coordinator.

Following C&T tradition, the quilters among us pooled their talents to create a special quilt for baby-to-be Addison Mae, using a design derived from one of our books, StrataVarious Quilts. Jen confessed we had already spoiled her with a C&T wedding quilt. “My Mom kept asking me ‘Do you think there’s a C&T baby quilt in the works?’”

Yes, there was! And it’s all quilted and bound before the November 11 due date! Now that’s what we like to see!
