Pretty Swank Baby Quilts


I've started a new little venture over at Pretty Swank. Combining a love of vintage fabric and quilting, I'm selling vintage fabric baby quilts! Some are pieced by me, some are made from already-pieced quilt squares and quilt tops I've gathered in my travels, all are backed and bound with vintage fabric and use cotton batting, for the perfect year-round weight. I'm also offering custom vintage baby quilt services, where you pick your color scheme and I raid my huge stash to create the perfect family heirloom. Check them out here. And since I haven't shown the blog world my latest creations, here are some recent gifts for friends/family and a few available in the shop:
For my sister Sarah's newest baby, Henry.

String-pieced vintage top, handquilted by me, available in the shop.
This one was made from quilt squares dating to 1910. Fabulous colors. I love this one. Available in the shop.
Vintage crazy quilt top finished by me and available in the shop.
This one I finished back in February for my friend, CJane, made with crazy quilt pieces and some random vintage squares

I cut up one of my favorite quilt tops (I have part of it framed in my living room) to piece together this one for little Mia Kendrick.

Can you tell I'm already in nesting mode around here?

Did you call me CJane in London? You should have. I mean, besides the fact that the name was "invented" yet.

I love you and your quilts. Forever.
