Quietude Quilts * Handmade Doll Quilt (GIVEAWAY)

For my most avid followers, many of you know now that our Miss Amelia Grace arrived ..... and at 39 weeks!  We still can't believe she stuck it out so long!

Now our family is complete with a boy and a girl - and it has been quite fun buying for a little girl - even more challenging, because I don't want to bombard the closet with only pink :)

I am excited and looking forward to her growing up and playing dress-up and house.  It will be great fun!

I was thrilled to meet Kelsey over at Quietude Quilts and their beautiful handmade doll quilts and handmade doll beds!  

Not only can I dream about playing dolls with Amelia when she is older with this quilt and pillow set, but because Amelia is so little right now, I was able to also use the quilt on her.

Kelsey sent me an adorable double-sided reversible quilt, featuring strawberries on one side and a great pink graphic pattern on the other.  It reminded me of the days of playing with my Strawberry Shortcake dolls!

Here are some great pictures of Amelia sporting the doll quilt:

And....who says that only girls can play with the quilts?  Noah took the quilt away from me while I was trying to photograph it and made it his own!

This is considered a "whole cloth" quilt, which means it is not pieced but is a whole piece of fabric with a pattern of quilting thread on it. 

The doll quilt measures approximately 18" by 24" with coordinating double fold binding, machine then hand sewn, to strengthen edges. Also included are a coordinating ruffle pillow sham, pillow insert, and throw pillow. Pillow sets are approximately 5" by 8", and throw pillow approximately 5" square. This bedding set will perfectly fit 15" and 18" dolls such as American Girl and Waldorf dolls.

The craftsmanship is impeccable and the memories are sure to be plenty!

Quietude Quilts has such a vast array of different patterned quilts, that there is surely one to match the taste of each person that desires a quilt for their little girl (or boy) and their doll.

Here are some of my other personal favorites from their site, but there are still so many others:

               

Partnering with her husband, this duo not only creates beautiful quilts, but also creates custom doll beds that can be utilized for play or for photography sets as well!  

Their wooden doll bed is the perfect heirloom toy for your favorite child or photography prop for your newborn, and is beautifully finished with all natural, child safe, organic milk paint. Children, doll collectors, and professional photographers alike will adore their handcrafted bed which will become a treasured family keepsake passed down from mother to daughter.

Bed:Kelsey's husband handcrafts their 1:3 scale beds of 100% FSC certified sustainably harvested solid premium radiata pine wood (this very high quality wood is beautiful unfinished, painted, or stained), and constructs them using traditional skill mortise and tenon joinery which uses no nails or screws, no metal or plastic. They sand the rounded headboards by hand for a soft finish.

Painting:
They use old-fashioned milk paint, produced locally in our area, which is 100% organic and child safe. It is available in 20 traditional historical colors; other color options are shown above. Your bed will be painted to show through some wood grain for a beautiful antique appearance (ask for an "add on" if you would prefer full coverage painting). 

Accessories:
A white muslin-covered high quality foam mattress is included, and nestles snugly into your bed frame. Doll bedding is sold separately. You can ask for an add-on or request for purchase later a removable canopy frame that fits this bed to create a canopy bed.

Sustainable, handcrafted and impecable, the price tag of only $60.00 makes this doll bed a must have!

MY FINAL THOUGHTS?
