Falling Charms Quilt

This is a simple pattern for making quilt tops. If you're not familiar with Missouri Star Quilt Company and their tutorial videos you are in for a treat. Due to copyrights we cannot put the directions directly onto our page, so I've attached the link to the video below.

Minerva Seraphina with one of our Octopus

When I started with Sewing For Babies I never thought I would need their help. No one in my family had ever had a preemie baby. Thanks to Joy Burton and those who make our items for their generosity. Being able to send the octopus, blankets, clothes and other items to my granddaughter was a godsend! The hospital in California was amazed at our groups' work and wished they had an organization like us in their locale. You Are Wonderful and You Make A Difference! Keep up the great work! BTW, Minerva is doing well. At 6lbs 3oz she was the largest preemie their NICU had ever seen.
UPDATE! She's 3 weeks old in this picture and doing very well. My daughter loves all the Halloween themed gifts from our group!

About Us

Sewing for Babies makes tiny clothing and isolette quilts for preemie babies while they are in the hospital, and are given to the families to take home.

Clothing for preemie babies is expensive and difficult to find. Often babies go through several sets of clothing each day and are sometimes in the hospital for months at a time. Sewing for babies helps to fill this need by making preemie clothes.

If the unthinkable happens it is hard to find burial clothing small enough to fit them. Sewing for Babies also provides dignified burial clothing to the families that are suffering through the loss of their child.

Isolette quilts are requested by the hospitals to be a specific size. they cover the Isolettes in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) to block out the bright lights so the baby can sleep and grow.

We deliver monthly to local valley hospitals
