News: Long Baby Bibs

Summer bibs are here! 

Summer means sunshine, outdoor water adventures, sunscreen (lots of sunscreen), picnics, and icy cold beverages. We have just the bibs to catch those juicy watermelon drips. Or maybe just the teething drool (yes, teething yet again). We wanted these handmade baby bibs to be fun, playful, and delicious (just like your babe) so without further ado, we are pleased to introduce the…

Golden Babies Bib Set

Gold rainbows, gold stripes, and gold stars. The golden trio. Just like all of our bib sets, the Golden Babies Bib Set is available in the Bandana or Long Form with either the Fleece or French Terry Cloth back. Although the bibs fit all babies from their newborn to toddler days, the Long Form comes with 2 snap closures so it can grow with your babe for longer. 

Lazy Babies Bib Set

Sloths?! Come on. Too cute. Anyone else have a lazy baby? No? Just my 10 month old baby who could definitely crawl but pretends like he can’t so I’ll pick him up and carry him everywhere? I didn’t think so ;) 

One of the iconic first foods to feed your babe… turns out that strawberries also make a great bib fabric, too. The set includes a solid pink and a sweet pink with white dots. All of the bibs come with a double stitch on top to increase durability and cuteness. The double stitching allows the bibs to hold their own with repeated machine washing, so they will be with you and your growing family for years to come.  

We’re a Honeycrisp apple family, but would take a Gala in a pinch. A green stripe bib and solid bright green bib round out this set. Sometimes your babe is in a really cute outfit, but can’t go the day without a bib (hi spit up, hi drool). We get it. That’s why there’s a solid colored bib in almost every set. The solid complements (instead of detracting from) those outfits you worked so hard to wrestle over those flailing arms and legs.  

Cherry flavored cola in a glass bottle on a modern baby quilt for that picnic? Yes, please. A fun teal colored bib and deep blue with white dots support the main attraction here. And yes, all of our other bibs are still available while quantities last. The bibs are made-to-order, but usually ship in 2-3 business days.  Thank you for sharing your babies with us: #caseysheilaquilts and @caseysheilaquilts.  

“And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!”

Our first book-inspired line, the Wild Things, is here! Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are is full of adventure, imagination, mischief, frustrating parenting moments, love, and warmth. The Wild Things Collection includes a handmade bib set, three modern baby quilt designs, and coordinating quilted pillow covers. Each design in this collection includes a heavy focus on gold- the crowned king deserves no less. 

The bib set includes the classic colors associated with the book: gold (of course), white, and black. The colors and patterns have a strong, powerful energy. The set includes three bibs. They are each incredibly soft- soft enough even for our sensitive skin babes. They are available in both the bandana and long bib forms with either Fleece or French Terry Cloth backing. And of course, they are machine washable so they will last for years to come. Most certainly longer than Max’s adventure to rumpus with the wild things. 

Meet “Wild Rumpus.” The first quilt and quilted pillow cover design in this collection. This design was inspired by the nighttime skies that Max sails and leads his rumpus through. The back is a gorgeous navy blue and gold stripe fabric. The horizontal straight line quilting creates a water-inspired texture running throughout this soft fabric. Perfect to lay across you and your baby (toddlers, especially) as you read your copy of Where the Wild Things Are. Oh yeah, did we mention yet that each quilt purchased from this collection comes with a new copy of the book?

Next in line is: “Mischief of One Kind and Another.” It’s interesting that the colors usually associated with this book are gold, white, and black because there are so many pinks and yellows throughout. We took the pink and yellow from Max’s sailboat and brought it to a quilted form. The equilateral triangles represent the sailboat. The mix of light and darker pinks are the ocean waves crashing onto each other. The vertically stitched quilted lines and vertical lines of pinks and yellows on the back of the quilt evoke of sense of empowerment and confidence. Traits we often try to instill in our next generation.  

And finally: Max himself: “King of All Wild Things.” The forest greens of the vines hanging from Max’s ceiling and walls meets the cream and white equilateral triangles taken from Max’s crown. And of course, there’s fabric speckled with gold. The back of this quilt is a luscious green with metallic gold running up and down just like the vines and trees. And the quilt is wrapped up with a hand stitched binding filled with white and gold. 

Each quilt design is available in either the baby (40” x 40”) or toddler (40” x 50”) size. The quilted pillow covers are also available in either an 18” by 18” or 20” x 20” square. Custom square sizes are possible, just send an inquiry to casey@caseysheilaquilts.com. Lastly, this is a limited edition collection so there is a finite number of each buttery soft product. But, if you’ve had your heart set on something and it sells out, please send an inquiry to casey@caseysheilaquilts.com. As always, these items are made-to-order with love and attention to every detail. 

“And Max the king of all wild things was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.”

Happy reading snuggling. xoxo.
