Story Book Baby Quilts

As we settle into a disquieting time navigating COVID 19, there’s been an increase in the number of prominent people reading children’s books. Reading is an excellent way to help children develop language skills. Studies show that parents who read to their children significantly increase the child’s learning.

As a big sister and step mother, I can personally attest to the sheer joy of reading out loud. It’s not only helpful but creates a wonderful bond between the reader and the listeners. To this day my brothers can share a word that summarizes our experience growing up reading books to each other.

It was this moment in time that inspired me to make several custom story book baby quilts. Each baby quilt is unique using printed panels out of favorite vintage story books.

The first one features charming Mother Goose Baby Quilt nursery rhyme illustrations, a perfect first baby quilt for the newborn.

I left a center square where the baby quilt can easily be personalized and added a cute as a button toy rabbit. The rabbit looks like it could have stepped out of one of the baby quilt panels!

Children tend to learn by focusing on first words, which inspired some of our other custom baby quilts.

Our custom Zoo Baby Quilt features favorite animals and their associated words.

Another center panel is available to easily make this a custom personalized quilt.

This baby quilt would also make a great quilted wall hanging in a nursery and something a parent could use to make up their own stories based around an animal.

For the older reader, this custom Poky Puppy rag quilt has the Poky Puppy story in quilt panels, so no book required.

There’s a panel top left where the baby quilt can be personalized with custom embroidery, much as names are written into books.

These custom personalized baby quilts will keep the listener warm and make it easy for both reader and listener to follow along.

And fall asleep, right then and there.
