Baby Shower Quilt Kits from Wizard Quilts
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Work Life, Activities: Babies, Media, Baby Essentials, Decor
I'm so not a fan of games at baby showers ---
a bunch of grown women trying to feed each other pudding blindfolded, or some other such silliness is not my idea of
fun. Let's just have cake and open gifts -- that's all I need for a good time. Why cloud the issue with
activities?Of course, when Katrina contacted us via our Tipline to introduce us to her new line of Baby Shower Quilts, I had to rethink my stance. These innovative kits allow baby shower guests to create a quilt -- without having to sew -- around a special theme, so that it works with the nursery decor. Each kit contains nine blank fabric squares, felt, glue, fabric paints, scissors and black fabric markers -- everything necessary for each guest to make a square to be securely glued onto the ready-made quilt. Guests can even bring their own fabric swatches, so that each square has a personal touch.
The quilts aren't made to be used as bedding -- but they come with rod pockets for hanging on the nursery wall.
Each quilt kit is US$84.95 -- not that expensive for a hand-made quilt, and besides -- you could ask guests to contribute toward the cost, in lieu of bringing a shower gift. For international shipping charges please contact them directly at thewizard@wizardquilts.com .

Jenn said...That's a great idea!
For the same reason (I hate shower games) when I gave a baby shower a few weeks ago, we made the mom-to-be a book. We took a picture of her with each guest, and had the guests write her a note with parenting advice, wishes for the baby, etc. Then we put the notes with the pictures and decorated the pages with colored paper and stickers. She absolutely loves the book!
