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?
DANNIE D OWNS A BLISS BLANKET!
It was an extreme honor to create a one-of-a-kind jacket for this iconic woman. I've always had a deep respect for this lady for instinctively showing women the authentic balance between natural beauty and total badassery. She was on my short list of people I wanted to meet in this lifetime and she's every bit as stunning and delightful in person.
It's a dream come true to have Danielle Colby wearing one of my artisan pieces. This was made from a very old quilt I got from an antique shop in Pomeroy, Iowa. It was well-loved, but made a unique jacket that is as soft as it is gorgeous.
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.

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

The detail hand embroidery on this darling jacket is insane! How many hundreds of hours of love and attention must have gone into this lovely quilt I got from an estate sale in Harrisonville, MO. She had so many to choose from, but this one was too happy to pass by. M-L

Lumber Jill Bliss Blanket
Have you ever seen a full corduroy quilt? This was a first for me. It was so unique that I knew it had to be a wearable. Truly one-of-a-kind, hand-stitched brilliance. The inside is pieced with random flannel prints and deep padding. This magnificent jewel is the warmest, most dazzling wrap you've ever had the luxury of experiencing. Seasoned with hours of precision care, and maybe a touch of cursing and bloodshed, this is a coveted piece. Be prepared to get stopped - a lot. M-L

Joni Mitchell Bliss Blanket
The epitome of Folk Art, this beauty is the All-American representation of days gone by. The quilt was procured from a friend of my great-aunt who made it to celebrate the opening of her family’s candy shop in the 50’s. The sweet vibe of happy children is all over this piece. Indulge your sweet tooth. L-XL

Mulan's Orchard Bliss Blanket
Well, this is amazingly different. I made this piece from a cross-stitched tablecloth I found in a New England antique shop. It was so lovely, I couldn't just leave it there. While it's a diversion from my vintage quilt obsession, I don't think will be the last. Light-weight and easy to wear. And can we talk about the months of stitching and love that must have gone into this jewel? So special! It acts more like a sweater than a coat. Perfect to make a statement at the office or any casual event you want to dress up a little. M-L

Austin City Limits Bliss Blanket
How insanely sweet is this casual mid-thigh urban wrap? 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. Dynamic starburst pattern in subtle muted colors will pretty much match everything. Notice the fun vintage Asian insert. Perfection. M-L

Basket O'Happy Bliss Blanket
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. Fun hidden pocket holds your phone. It’s impossible to be sad when you have a balloon, an ice cream cone or wearing this fun piece. I suggest all three at the same time. M-L

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

A sassy combination of all the best pastels, this quilt found its way home by way of the Round Top, Texas. I adore the juxtaposition of the rugged Log Cabin pattern with baby soft hues.

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