Here are some pictures of the block that I made for Emma. It took me a couple of weeks because I hand sewed EVERYTHING on it, and I only worked on it at night. I did not work on it every night, hence it took a couple of week. I am quite proud of it if I do say so myself.

I used a stencil to draw the numbers and letters

Here are all the squares sewn together. I put things on the block that she could pull at and play with. There are numbers, letters, fuzzy balls, buttons and a flower, a lady bug, and some pictures for her to look at.

For the ladybug I used small treat bags to stuff inside for the crinkly sound, and the antennas are made from pipe wire. I drew the dots on with a marker.
