There’s nothing quite like a well-loved baby quilt… but sometimes all those hugs, snuggles, and washings take a toll!

My granddaughter’s well-loved quilt needed a little extra attention to the binding. I had originally hand-stitched it to the back, but after lots of love and many washes, a few spots were starting to come undone.

Rather than take the binding off and start over, I decided to machine stitch right over it to give it a little extra stability. My daughter suggested using a zigzag stitch, and it turned out to be the perfect solution! I love how it looks, and now this well-loved quilt is ready for many more years of snuggles.

How do you finish the binding on baby quilts? Are you a hand-stitcher or a machine-stitcher? I’d love to hear your tips and tricks in the comments!

Do you label your quilts?

I love adding labels to my quilts, and these beautiful labels from @sarahhearts are just perfect! I adore their sweet vintage feel and the space to add a personal touch. Their little
“Made in 2026” labels are such a fun way to mark the year and add one more special detail to each quilt.

I was recently given a collection of fabric and sewing treasures that belonged to both of my grandmothers: pretty bits of vintage trim, spools of antique thread, buttons with years of history, old wooden hoops, and small scraps of fabric left over from quilts they lovingly pieced together.

I wanted to create something special to hang in my sewing space, where I could see and appreciate these little pieces of their lives each time I walk in.

With embroidery floss, hot glue, a few new trims and labels, and these well-loved bits of sewing history, I brought everything together into a keepsake that feels like a small window into their creative lives.

Now, their stories are stitched into a place where I can continue my own.

Do you ever turn passed-down treasures into something new? I’d love to hear what you’ve created and the stories behind them!

Beautiful new trim from @amysinibaldi .

Did I share this with you?

I can’t remember if I’ve shared the Counterhearts quilt I made for my granddaughter, but now that she’s 4 months old, I think it’s time!

I love how this one turned out. The sweet fabrics, the beautiful quilting by my dear friend Amy, and the soft minky backing make it extra snuggly and special. A quilt made with so much love for a very special little girl.

October blocks for the Two Peas QAL hosted by @a_stitch_is_a_stitch!

October is one of my favorite months, and sewing these blocks has been such a joy! Using one of my favorite low-volume prints, Delicate Balance by @sharonhollanddesigns for @artgalleryfabrics, brought an extra bit of happiness.

Are you sewing along, too? Just one more month until we can snuggle up with our finished quilts!
