Shnookies quilts- Blue T quilt

We decided the red quilt was just too girly! When our lovely friends announced that they had had a boy, we knew he needed a blue quilt.

Baby T lives in Melbourne, so we backed the quilt in flannel to make it warm and cosy.

He hasn't had a great first week, but we hope he is now on the mend. We hope our little blue quilt brings some hapiness and warmth to baby T and his parents.

Along with the quilt we are sending some of the cuddliest knitwear ever- Shnookies beanies and jackets! Check them out here....

More quilts?

Coming soon... a special blue quilt for baby T who has had a rough start but is now on the mend.

Shnookies quilts- Zari's quilt

A special girl is turning two! Here is her gift- a big quilt in yellows, with a touch of grey and pink.

This quilt is backed in flannel to make it extra snuggly.

It features a special 'Z' in the corner. We hope Zari and her parents love it and it reminds them of us in the years ahead!

Happy birthday!

Shnookies favourite girl is celebrating her first birthday today! Sending her lots of love and happiness today and always xxx

We will share some of her hand made birthday presents here soon...

Shnookies quilts- Red quilt

Here is another new baby quilt for friends. They also don't know whether it's a boy or a girl, so hopefully this red quilt will be perfect for either.

We hope they like it!

Luckily, it got the seal of approval from the most discerning quilt critic- our beautiful cat. He thinks it's tops!

Shnookies quilts- Owl quilt

Here is a new quilt just made for friends expecting their first baby in the next few weeks. They don't know if there is a boy or a girl on the way, so we chose fabrics that will work well for either. We hope they like it!

The quilt top was made using a new technique that made it faster and more fun to make. So there will be more of these types of quilts to come!

The quilting has made this a tough little blanket that can be used and washed often. Can't wait to give it to the parents-to-be!
