PERSONALIZATION:

If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​chosen​ ​the​ ​“with​ ​name”​ ​option,​ ​your​ ​little​ ​one’s​ ​name​ ​will​ ​be​ ​added​ ​to​ ​the​ ​quilt​ ​with​ ​machine​ ​embroidery.​ ​​ ​Choose​ ​any​ ​colour​ ​embroidery​ ​thread​ ​from​ ​the​ ​listing​ ​photo​ ​and​ ​let​ ​me​ ​know​ ​your​ ​choice​ ​in​ ​the​ ​personalization​ ​section.

I​ ​use​ ​a​ ​2-3”​ ​tall​ ​font​ ​for​ ​the​ ​quilts​ ​as​ ​shown​ ​in​ ​the​ ​photos​ ​depending​ ​on​ ​the​ ​length​ ​of​ ​the​ ​name​ ​to​ ​be​ ​embroidered.​ ​​ ​The​ ​2-3”​ ​relates​ ​to​ ​the​ ​size​ ​of​ ​the​ ​capital​ ​letter​ ​for​ ​the​ ​name.​ ​​ ​Lower​ ​case​ ​letters​ ​are​ ​smaller.​ ​​ ​Unless​ ​otherwise​ ​requested,​ ​the​ ​first​ ​letter​ ​of​ ​the​ ​name​ ​will​ ​be​ ​capitalized​ ​and​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​the​ ​letters​ ​will​ ​be​ ​lower​ ​case.

For​ ​stability​ ​and​ ​longer​ ​lasting​ ​embroidery,​ ​I​ ​normally​ ​add​ ​the​ ​names​ ​after​ ​the​ ​quilt​ ​is​ ​finished.​ ​​ ​This​ ​means​ ​that​ ​you​ ​will​ ​see​ ​the​ ​name​ ​in​ ​reverse​ ​on​ ​the​ ​back​ ​of​ ​the​ ​quilt:​ ​I​ ​choose​ ​a​ ​colour​ ​that​ ​blends​ ​well​ ​with​ ​the​ ​backing.​ ​​ ​

If​ ​you​ ​prefer​ ​the​ ​look​ ​of​ ​a​ ​“quilt​ ​label”​ ​with​ ​the​ ​name​ ​on​ ​it,​ ​let​ ​me​ ​know​ ​in​ ​the​ ​personalization​ ​section​ ​and​ ​I​ ​will​ ​embroider​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​piece​ ​of​ ​fabric​ ​with​ ​the​ ​name​ ​and​ ​sew​ ​that​ ​on​ ​your​ ​blanket​ ​for​ ​you.

Your​ ​name​ ​will​ ​be​ ​embroidered​ ​along​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​of​ ​the​ ​front​ ​side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​quilt​ ​on​ ​the​ ​right​ ​hand​ ​side.​ ​​ ​If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​a​ ​special​ ​request​ ​for​ ​the​ ​wording​ ​or​ ​name​ ​placement,​ ​please​ ​do​ ​message​ ​me​ ​through​ ​the​ ​“ask​ ​a​ ​question”​ ​button​ ​at​ ​the​ ​top​ ​of​ ​this​ ​listing.

The​ ​large​ ​size​ ​is​ ​perfect​ ​for​ ​a​ ​crib​ ​quilt​ ​when​ ​your​ ​little​ ​one​ ​is​ ​old​ ​enough​ ​for​ ​blankets​ ​in​ ​the​ ​crib.​ ​​ ​It’s​ ​a​ ​great​ ​size​ ​for​ ​parent​ ​and​ ​child​ ​at​ ​reading​ ​time,​ ​late​ ​night​ ​feeding,​ ​will​ ​transition​ ​perfectly​ ​into​ ​a​ ​toddler​ ​sized​ ​bed,​ ​and​ ​will​ ​fit​ ​a​ ​single​ ​bed​ ​as​ ​a​ ​topper​ ​quilt​ ​or​ ​summer​ ​weight​ ​blanket.

…………..

MATERIALS​ ​AND​ ​SEWING​ ​PROCESS:

-​ ​all​ ​fabrics​ ​in​ ​your​ ​new​ ​baby​ ​quilt​ ​are​ ​100%​ ​cotton​ ​from​ ​Dear​ ​Stella​ ​Fabrics,​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​quality​ ​quilting​ ​fabric​ ​manufacturers​ ​
-​ ​batting​ ​(the​ ​“filling”​ ​in​ ​the​ ​quilt)​ ​is​ ​a​ ​light​ ​weight​ ​unbleached​ ​cotton​ ​from​ ​the​ ​US​ ​with​ ​no​ ​additives​ ​or​ ​chemicals
-​ ​threads​ ​are​ ​extra-long​ ​staple​ ​Egyptian​ ​grown​ ​cotton

This​ ​quilt​ ​is​ ​made​ ​using​ ​the​ ​“wholecloth”​ ​quilting​ ​method.​ ​​ ​Two​ ​full​ ​pieces​ ​of​ ​fabric​ ​make​ ​up​ ​the​ ​front​ ​and​ ​the​ ​back​ ​of​ ​the​ ​blanket​ ​and​ ​then​ ​are​ ​machine​ ​stitched​ ​together​ ​with​ ​a​ ​layer​ ​of​ ​cotton​ ​batting​ ​in​ ​the​ ​middle.​ ​​ ​The​ ​final​ ​stage​ ​is​ ​to​ ​stitch​ ​the​ ​binding​ ​around​ ​the​ ​edges:​ ​binding​ ​makes​ ​a​ ​great​ ​accent​ ​to​ ​the​ ​main​ ​quilt​ ​colours​ ​and​ ​also​ ​helps​ ​the​ ​quilt​ ​last​ ​longer​ ​by​ ​adding​ ​strength​ ​to​ ​the​ ​edges.

As​ ​with​ ​all​ ​things​ ​hand​ ​made,​ ​each​ ​quilt​ ​will​ ​be​ ​slightly​ ​different​ ​as​ ​it​ ​is​ ​made.​ ​​ ​This​ ​is​ ​the​ ​process​ ​of​ ​handmade​ ​pieces,​ ​and​ ​each​ ​is​ ​to​ ​be​ ​celebrated​ ​for​ ​its​ ​uniqueness.

Handmade​ ​in​ ​Canada.

CARE​ ​INSTRUCTIONS:

For​ ​best​ ​results,​ ​wash​ ​your​ ​blanket​ ​in​ ​cold​ ​water​ ​on​ ​a​ ​gentle​ ​cycle​ ​in​ ​the​ ​washing​ ​machine.​ ​​ ​Stains​ ​can​ ​be​ ​pre-treated​ ​as​ ​needed,​ ​but​ ​please​ ​test​ ​an​ ​inconspicuous​ ​spot​ ​before​ ​general​ ​use.​ ​​ ​Dry​ ​on​ ​a​ ​low​ ​(delicates)​ ​cycle​ ​in​ ​the​ ​dryer​ ​or​ ​hang​ ​to​ ​dry.​ ​​ ​Do​ ​not​ ​bleach.

Pre-washing​ ​your​ ​blanket:
As​ ​each​ ​blanket​ ​is​ ​finished,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​carefully​ ​pre-washed​ ​in​ ​unscented,​ ​baby-safe​ ​soap​ ​and​ ​dried​ ​without​ ​the​ ​use​ ​of​ ​fabric​ ​softeners.​ ​​ ​When​ ​your​ ​blanket​ ​is​ ​washed​ ​it​ ​gets​ ​a​ ​wonderful​ ​soft​ ​and​ ​puffy​ ​texture​ ​to​ ​the​ ​fabric​ ​layers,​ ​and​ ​gets​ ​softer​ ​and​ ​softer​ ​with​ ​every​ ​wash.

PHOTOGRAPHY​ ​AND​ ​COLOURS:

I​ ​do​ ​my​ ​best​ ​to​ ​photograph​ ​quilts​ ​in​ ​a​ ​few​ ​different​ ​lighting​ ​conditions​ ​so​ ​that​ ​you​ ​can​ ​have​ ​a​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​the​ ​range​ ​of​ ​colour​ ​based​ ​on​ ​full​ ​light​ ​and​ ​slightly​ ​darker​ ​rooms.

As​ ​accurate​ ​as​ ​I​ ​try​ ​to​ ​be​ ​with​ ​colours​ ​in​ ​photos,​ ​no​ ​two​ ​computer​ ​screens​ ​will​ ​display​ ​colours​ ​in​ ​the​ ​same​ ​way.​ ​​ ​

Please​ ​do​ ​ask​ ​if​ ​you​ ​have​ ​any​ ​further​ ​questions​ ​about​ ​colours.

………….

If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​any​ ​warranty​ ​concerns,​ ​please​ ​message​ ​me​ ​with​ ​photos​ ​of​ ​the​ ​issue.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​do​ ​everything​ ​possible​ ​to​ ​repair​ ​and​ ​correct​ ​the​ ​problem​ ​for​ ​you!

…………..

From​ ​curating​ ​the​ ​fabric​ ​collections​ ​to​ ​the​ ​final​ ​stitch,​ ​your​ ​new​ ​baby​ ​quilt​ ​is​ ​entirely​ ​handmade​ ​by​ ​me​ ​in​ ​my​ ​home​ ​studio.​ ​​ ​

There​ ​is​ ​nothing​ ​more​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​wonder​ ​and​ ​joy​ ​than​ ​welcoming​ ​a​ ​little​ ​one​ ​into​ ​this​ ​world!​ ​​ ​Being​ ​able​ ​to​ ​share​ ​my​ ​love​ ​of​ ​sewing​ ​for​ ​your​ ​new​ ​baby’s​ ​comfort​ ​is​ ​truly​ ​an​ ​honour​ ​for​ ​me.
