I used camouflage sweatshirt material for the backing and framing. This thing is going to dominate Montana's freezing winters.
And now do we understand why this blanket HAD to be so big? He is huge!

T Shirt Quilt for Mr. Montana
This is by far the most massive sewing project i have attempted. This quilt is 5 squares by 5 squares, and practically 7' x7'. It's huge. But thats what a big guy calls for! If you are interested in having a custom quilt made for you, email me at missmontanas@yahoo.com. Depending on the type of fabric you choose for the backing, prices will vary, but its approximately $9 per t-shirt square.

This is my newest addition to my etsy shop. It's whimsical, colorful, and just plain fun. Any little girl would absolutely love this beauty! It is 34"x42". Two pieces of 100% cotton fabric sandwich polyester batting, making this a perfect balnket to snuggle with.
See what i mean? It's darling.

Also an easy way to help your child learn the Pledge of Allegiance.
Basically adorable.

T-Shirt Quilts.
This idea is less of a baby shower gift and more of a graduation gift. Ok, so it doesn't exactly fit the usual genre of Miss Montana, but it is an AWESOME gift. Talk about preserving memories. There is a catch with these though. They are obviously custom ordered. If you think you would like catalog a bunch of wonderful memories in this way, contact me via email at missmontanas@yahoo.com and we will talk.
This is the very first quilt i ever made. The t-shirts are just a few of the several i collected throughout high school.
Prices will vary depending on the number of t-shirts that are used to make the quilt, as well as the type of fabric used as the backside. There really isn't a limit to how many shirts can be used to make a blanket (within reason); I recently made one for Mr. Montana using 25 shirts. The one shown above has a backing of 100% cotton fabric, but anything from sweatshirt material to fleece is available.
Like I mentioned, a custom order is necessary for this, so there is no link to my etsy store. IF you are interested, send me an email so we can discuss the number of t-shirts, fabric type, shipping method, and eventually settle a price.
Crocheted Baby Blankets
These are wonderful. Currently I have two in stock , one in a mauve pink color, and one beige with pink stripes. These are hand crocheted by me, and let me tell you, little ones love to snuggle up with them. Approximate dimensions are 40"x23"(usually a bit bigger). Actual size may vary because that what happens when things are hand made! The shell stitch used makes for a beautiful crib companion.
Most importantly, they are machine washable and dryer friendly.
$28 each. $4 shipping and handling.

Washable Story Books!
Here is the deal with these beauties... they are quite simply the best. 100% cotton fabric printed with a story on it. Sewn together with some fiberfill to make it thicker and soft. Spill anything on them: milk, formula, mushed up leftovers from breakfast, an accident of a potty-trainer, all you have to do is throw it in the washing machine the next time you do laundry. Completely washable and dryable. Can be read at storytime or cuddled with during naptime. Stories come appropriate for various ages. What's not to love?
First up: Wonders of the Night Sky (A little more detailed story; ie actual paragraphs on pages). Exerpt from story: In the summer sky you can see a constallation that looks like a swan. This group of stars is called Cygnus.

Next up: School Days. This is a much more basic story. Perfect for a child who is preparing for preschool or kindergarten. This colorful story shows snippets of what school will be like, ranging from picture day to making friends at recess.
See what I mean? These are the definition of a perfect gift. WASHABLE, educational, and good for any occasion.
Whatever fabric is available at the stores determines which stories I will have in stock. Currently these are the only copies I have so snatch them up quickly!
$16.99 each. $4 for shipping and handling.
