I'm linking up with the Sew Mama Sew May giveaway! After you enter for my giveaway, head over there to see hundreds more!
I have a number of pregnant friends at the moment, some due within the month! My gift of choice for a new baby is an Eye-Spy Quilt. Check back in the coming months to see the new ones!
Not only are these fun and cute, but they're interactive! Newborns love to gaze at the bright shapes, but older babies can listen to stories about the pictures or learn counting, colors, and animals from all the different blocks!
I'm giving away an eye-spy quilt kit, valued at $55.
This kit includes templates, directions, and enough hexagons to make a
crib size (36x54) eye spy baby quilt. You’ll get over 100 pre-cut
hexagons from all unique fabrics - enough to piece the quilt, plus a few
extras just in case. Fabric for borders and triangles is not included,
but that’s where you get to personalize!
You can specify boy, girl, or gender neutral. You can also request fabrics like dogs, cats, sports, etc.
This kit allows you to make a beautiful, fun, and educational keepsake - without having to buy and cut 100 fabrics of your own! Families I've given these to use them for learning colors, counting, and animals, eye-spy, and telling stories. They also make a great surface to play on, and are machine washable. Use the included templates to add to your stash.
If you don't win, but would still like a kit, check out my Etsy shop.
To enter, leave a comment below telling me about your next project. This isn't just a sewing blog, but a projects blog, so this could include anything from a recipe to home improvement to sewing a prom dress! International entrants are welcome!

I finally want to make a Swoon quilt. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had to look up that pattern, but wow, it's so pretty! Good luck!
DeleteMy next project is to finish some quilts I have made the tops for, I have 4 waiting. Piecing the tops are the more enjoyable part but I really want to get some finishes in the near future. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAmandak@whatthebobbin
I love piecing more than quilting, too. I recently sent a quilt to a long-arm quilter for the first time - I loved the results and it gave me time to work on stuff I'm more passionate about!

ReplyDeleteI've been told that eye-spy quilts have some of the longest useful life for babies - not only are they well-loved for years, but they become keepsakes afterwards.
