I find some baby stuff just too cutesy and pallid for words but love the more grownup tones and patterns of the organic cottons quilts from Sewn Natural. Based in Ottawa, Sewn Natural was started when the founder became a grandma. She makes all kinds of baby things — from clothes to toys to bedding — out of cotton, wool, silks, bamboo and organic and upcycled* fabrics wherever possible. You can buy her beautiful crafts on the Etsy website, home to a treasure trove of wonderful handcrafted items from all over Canada and the U.S.
This beautiful Sienna Simmer baby quilt (top) is reversible and made from 100% organic cotton, with organic cotton batting. It’s washable in warm or cool water on the gentle cycle, and measures 31″ x 42″.
Available at: www.sewnnatural.etsy.com
Price: $35
*Upcycling: the practice of taking something disposable and turning it into something of greater value
