ONE-OF-A-KIND QUILT JACKETS
The history of these fun jackets is brief and purely accidental. And I love stories like this! But they became a phenomenon as soon as the first one hit the streets. I had no intention of making more than one. I've never been a seamstress and run a busy coaching business.
My daughter, Mariah lived in Montana and saw something on Instagram where someone has made some clothing out of a quilt and she mentioned it would be fun to have a quilt jacket for the cooler mountain evenings. I didn't give it another thought until I ran across an old quilt in my basement closet months later. My grandmother had made it for her brothers when Mariah was born. It hadn't seen the light of day in literally twenty years. So, I thought, "What the Hell"- and I dug out my old Sears sewing machine, which hadn't been out of the box in over 30 years and gave this quilt a new life.
Made with lots of love, a small amount of bloodshed and a few select curse words, my experimental overcoat traveled to Montana with me and made it's debut into the world the next day. Honestly, there was not one single place we went that someone didn't stop us and ask where she got it. While that was flattering, what stuck with me the most is how much she loved on this jacket. It softly wrapped around her like a big warm hug from the great-grandma she had never met. And it gave her comfort.
I decided to make one for myself. The first time I wore it, someone bought it off my body at Trader Joe's. And I knew I was onto something. After all, who of us couldn't use a cozy, loving hug from our grandma right about now?
These stunning coats are handmade from super-soft vintage, well-loved quilts. Quilts are all tested for durability and quality condition. Since these materials have lived a previous life and are all made from hand-pieced quilts, each jacket has it's own magical imperfections and marks of history. Every collar is accented with beautiful antique embroidered lace hankies and our signature Bliss Blanket tag. Prices vary depending on cost of materials and labor. Spot cleaning only is recommended.
Give yourself or someone you love a cozy, warm hug!
TO MAINTAIN THE FEEL OF A BLANKET, THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY OVER-SIZED, so you can usually go up or down a size comfortably.

WARNING: Extreme Cuteness!
Desert Sunrise Bliss Blanket
All the warm colors of a Mohave sunrise with a surprise touch of indigenous turquoise that reminds you of the native stones. This is a smaller jacket, but I've added some length to cover your booty - mostly because I didn't want to lose any of the spectacular starburst pattern that drapes so elegantly across the shoulders. It's a newer quilt and will withstand the washing machine for years to come, so you can wear it every day. S

Field of Pansies Bliss Blanket
I love it when I find a quilt that is the perfect combination of old vintage soft and immaculate condition. Look how the yellows dance effortlessly from soft pale butter to a vibrant canary and back again. It reminds me of Spring pansies - or maybe the ideal gift for the Laker's fan in your life! And is this vintage hanky not the perfect accent?! So warm and cozy. A new fav. L-XL

Miss Muffet Bliss Blanket
Is there anything sweeter than the Sunbonnet Babies quilting pattern? It appeared first in 1910 in the Ladies Home Journal The pattern was popular during the Great Depression. In the American South, it was often known as "Dutch Doll" until the 1970s. This darling jacket runs on the smallish side, but could fit up to about a size 10-12 comfortably. This quilt came to me via a tiny antique shop in Pomeroy, Iowa. From the colors - to the fabric feel - to the tiny flowers on the vintage hanky - to the loving patina, everything about it speaks ever so softly. S-M

Highlighted in the shade of your favorite worn out blue jeans, this one's going to hang on the chair by your front door because you wear it too much to put it in the closet.

This has to be the happiest quilt you’ve ever encountered. A rainbow of joy spills out from this bright, multi-colored jacket. The scale of the pattern adds even more whimsy.

Powder Puff Bliss Blanket
A sassy combination of all the best pastels, this quilt found its way home by way of the Junkstock festival in Nebraska. Sometimes a jacket just comes together because the quilt was made to be shaped that way. This piece is perfect in every way. The edges lined up. The fabric cut like butter. And it hangs like a dream on your body. An over-sized pocket really makes it work. M-L

Reminescent of a small town dry goods store, the fabrics in this quilt are made purely from vintage feed sacks.

LumberJill Bliss Blanket
Back in inventory! My most popular jacket ever. I was saving it for someone, but she picked two others. This piece was the most difficult and rewarding to build. I had never seen a corduroy quilt. Lined with flannel and deeply padded, it's as heavy as any winter coat. Made with love, a tiny bit of cursing and maybe a small amount of bloodshed. The most amazing Bliss Blanket. Truly one of a kind. S-M
