Mommy and Me

Posted on November 16, 2018 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I’m back today to show you another quilt I made for the Stitch ‘n’ Sparkle booth at Quilt Market. This one is completely adorable, and I’m pretty sure it’s been a really popular pattern, because I’ve seen it before, and I know some of my friends have made it.

This one is called “Mommy and Me”:

It’s a pattern designed by Colette Belt of QP Designs (Quilters Paradise). I think you can find the pattern on Etsy if you do a search for it: Mommy and Me Quilt Pattern.

Stitch ‘n’ Sparkle asked me to make this one out of their new collection, Nursery Flannel. It is soooooo soft! And it’s a dream to sew with. I love the addition of the rick-rack trim on this!

This quilt is another one that is really quick to make. Very basic patchwork and really large appliqué pieces make it go together fast.

I quilted it with an all-over meander, going around the appliqué pieces. I wish now I had put more quilting inside the elephants, because they’re sort of looking like Saggy Baggy Elephants instead — live and learn!

Here’s a picture of it hanging in their booth at Quilt Market. The dolls were made by Littles By Bella. Look at their little dresses! Aren’t they cute?

My sister has made several of these for quick baby gifts, and they’re always a hit! We’ve even inked the baby’s name, birth date, and height/weight on the balloons for an extra touch.

    I’m feeling saggy and baggy after a busy week of travel. Can you quilt people??? Once every decade should do it. LOL

  15. I don’t have any grandchildren, but like to make baby quilts to be given where they are needed. If I won I would donate the baby quilts to the survivors of the Camp Fire in northern Ca.
