Handmade Baby Quilt Contest
Popular baby crafts website, MakeBabyStuff, announced a Handmade Baby Quilt Contest last week, offering sewers a chance to share their baby quilt projects on the website for a chance to win $100, $50 or $25 gift certificates to Superbuzzy.com, the contest sponsor.
"A baby quilt makes an excellent first quilting project, because the small size isn't overwhelming,"
MakeBabyStuff.com is a baby crafts website that has soared in readership since its launch earlier this year and is ranked among the top 1% of all websites for traffic according to Alexa traffic rankings. Dusick believes the popularity is in part due to a combination of the economy, crafting trends and environmental awareness. "The online community of crafting mothers is exploding right now. Whether they have financial reasons, are creating items to fit in with their unique style sense or have environmental reasons, more mothers are turning back to the "old fashioned" way of making baby items themselves."
While it may be "old fashioned" to make your own baby quilt, this "Handmade Baby Contest" is nothing but modern. "With a focus on contemporary fabrics, our contest entries so far would look at home in even the most modern nursery."
The Handmade Baby Quilt Contest runs through November 1st, 2008, giving sewers just enough time to finish up projects.
