There's only two more days left in the blog birthday party!I am so fortunate to have today's birthday gift sponsor be my friend and local quilt guild buddy, Jackie Clark. I met Jackie on the very first guild meeting I attended. Guild meeting was on the second day I lived in Wichita. {I'm a girl with priorities...} Our local guild has over 800 members. In fact, its so big that they have two separate meetings, with attendance at both around 300+ members. Its an insane turn out. She saved me from a sea of lonely. That size guild is one where you can definitely get lost. Thanks for not letting me get lost, Jackie.
So not only is she a friend in the guild, but she's a fabric designer for Benartex and she owns her own pattern company, Jackie Clark Designs. Her style is very soft and peaceful, and geared towards babies. I was fortunate enough to work with Jackie's fabrics for the cover of Baby's Boxes (RD2-012)
Jackie has generously donated 8 HALF YARD CUTS from her line. These fabrics are from her girl pallet, In The Nest, and boy pallet, Baby Business.
She has also donated 2 patterns from Jackie Clark Designs. The two titles are Sleepy Bags and {Little Flower} Pocket Top. You may have recently seen the cover of the Pocket Top pattern on the back of the Fons and Porter Baby Quilts Magazine.To enter to win today's prize, simply leave a comment telling me if you make quilts for baby gifts.

I love to make quilts for baby gifts! Baby quilts are like 'comfort food' (comfort quilting?) The fabrics are great and since they are small they are good opportunities to try new things. I keep a little stack of quilts on hand. Right now I need to make some girlie quilts, as I only have one left!
There have been and will be a nmber of babies in and around our family this year. It's so much fun making baby quilts.

well, I'm out of the demographic because my friends are done having babies, but I do make baby quilts and give them away to the local children's hospital for preemies and foster babies. so I guess those are baby gifts, right? that's lovely fabric.
Oh do make baby quilts! It's gotten so bad that relatives call me months ahead of the shower to give me time to make one. And truly, they are my favorite because the fabrics are so sweet!
I'd be ever so happy to make one with Jackie Clark fabrics, or perhaps the JUNK bag for me if I can't bear to part with them!!

Sadly, I haven't made any baby quilts since I'm not in a group that is having babies (too old). HowEVER, my son got married last year to his long-time sweety, and so I'm hoping I'll be making baby quilts soon!

I make baby quilts mostly for Project Linus. The babies in my family and circle of friends have mostly grown up!
Funny how they do that. *S*
I have made three baby quilts so far. All three baby quilts were made for special family babies with much love.
Oh, yes! I make baby quilts. And husband is FINALLY at the age of 74 about to become grandpa for the very first time...in November AND again in January! So I have even more baby quilts to make.
I have blogged about your giveaway on my blog
I certainly do make baby quilts. In fact, there is one wrapped on my counter waiting to be mailed tomorrow to a new babe due to join us next week. At least half the quilts I have made are for babies or toddlers. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love making baby quilts for gifts. Nothing gets a baby started off right better than a quilt of their own!
Very nice quilts. I would be happy to make baby quilts from these fabrics.
Love baby quilts I just finished and delivered one for my workmate she had been grandma for the first time. She didn't know I was making a quilt for her baby it was a great surprise and she loved it! You can see pics on my flickr.
Thanks for this chance to win those fabrics are so sweet

The very first quilt I ever made was a baby quilt for my niece. I was hand appliqued and quilted. I constantly threaten her that if she doesn't take care of it, I'm taking it back! Since then I've made several baby quilts (they're smaller!) Thanks for the giveawaw.
The first gift quilt I made was for a friend's baby & used minkee fabric for the backing. Oh so soft and cuddly!

I haven't attempted my first quilt yet, but I have a bag of baby clothes next to my sewing machine... I'm planning on cutting them into squares and making a memory quilt from them. :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I'm expecting my second baby in January and am thinking nursery items.

I haven't yet...just minis. I'm waiting for the next niece or nephew!
I do make baby quilts as gifts, but I'm at a point in my life where nobody is having babies - the babies are all growing up! But I do have completed boy and girl tops in my closet for the next babies that arrive ... Thank you for the giveaway!
I do make baby quilts for friends and relatives. I have made many what I call baby wraps- they are 4 clover leaf in shape and are great for a play mat or to wrap the baby up in their car seat.
The baby fabrics look fabulous.

I am learning how to make baby quilts from an expert - my mother. We have two great grands that are due late this year. So, I want to make two baby quilts. Winning this fabric would give me a head start, and keep me from agonzing over what pattern to make. Thank you for this giveaway.

Not too many babies in our family right now, but for the one that did come along in the past year I made a cute baby quilt for him. I'm sure in the not so far future there will be more baby quilts to make.
I love making baby quilts and now I do it mostly for charity because my babies are grown up but that doesn't mean I have stopped.
Hi again I am a member of your blog.
I haven't had to make baby quilts yet because my family is currently in the HS and college graduation years. Someday soon. Kathie L in Allentown
Wow! Those fabrics are so beautiful! Thank you so much for a wonderful birthday giveaway!
Do I make quilts for baby gifts? Only for babies with very special moms or dads. I'm in the middle of putting one together for my brother and his wife for their second baby.
Crossing my fingers!

OMG how cute are those owls...I would make a baby quilt if I had a baby to give it to..that doesn't happen often though "yet". Hugs Khris
No but I would love to make one for my new baby girl! I have made your mini quilt lovey but haven't given any away yet.
I follow your blog.
I love making childrens/baby quilts for project linus.I do not know alot of people having babies..so Linus gets most.
Love your quilt photos...they are so inspiring.

I make quilts to give to babies, toddlers, teens,tweens, adults,anyone1
I have a baby quilt sweat shop going in my sewing room at this very moment, ha! Finished 4 quilt tops for crib quilts, have backings for all made, and bindings made for all three. Making 2 labels today, running out for some quilting thread in variegated colors to match the first 2, then pin baste and quilt. Great nephew due in December, granddaughter due in January, and 2 extra tops for the next babies whoever that may be.
I love making baby quilts for gifts. They are usually smaller than most quilts I make, are quick to get done, but make a big impression on the new parents. I am always looking for creative ideas that are impressive, but easy. Thanks for the giveaway.
I enjoy making baby quilts for gifts... practicing up for when I get my own grandchildren :)
baby quilts are so easy to make and such a great way to personalize a gift. your giveaway fabrics are so precious! thanks so much!
