One of my very favorite things in the whole wide world is floral. Modern floral, vintage floral, bright floral, basic floral...if it is covered in flowers, it's just lovely in every way. I love the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that says, "The earth laughs in flowers" and truly believe you can't look at flowers without smiling.
Combine one of my favorite things with the highest quality, handmade bedding and textiles around and I'm a happy Mama. In today's Shop Spotlight, I'm thrilled to be featuring KB Cute Designs and giving away a $100 shop credit to one lucky reader! Owner and designer Kerri is beyond sweet and I just love that three of her beautiful handmade pieces are part of Miss Penelope's nursery.
Kerri shares more of her story below
"My name is Kerri Blaser. My mother taught me to sew when I was 6 and every summer she had me pick out a sewing project to complete by summer's end. The first summer was matching nightgowns for me and my doll, and the last summer before I refused to sew because it was so "old fashioned," I sewed a twin quilt top and hand quilted the entire thing! I didn't do a whole lot of sewing after that until about two years ago when my husband lost his job right after we had our third child.
"I started sewing anything and everything people would hire me to do for the extra income and then I got a request for a fitted crib sheet. After that order I wanted to figure out how to make some pack-n-play sheets because that is what my baby was sleeping in at the time. Soon after making the sheets I discovered the somewhat newer and growing modern quilting that was happening and I started drawing up some new designs. The quilts that I make are basic but all originate from hand drawn designs in my notebooks. I am drawn to bold prints and bright colors while also loving the classic and contemporary black and white designs. I think a lot about the fabrics I work with and everything I make reflects that."
"When I'm not sewing, packaging, replying to emails or looking for new fabrics, I am doing the everyday "mom tasks" and playing with my kids. We are already doing a lot of swimming now that the hot summer days are here to stay in Arizona. On the weekends when we can escape the heat, you can often find us camping, hiking and staying active doing anything outdoors. My kids are only 5, 4, and 2 and my oldest two can out-hike me every time! I feel very lucky to be doing something that I love doing while still being able to be home and take care of the three most important little people in my life!"
In her shop, KB Cute Designs, Kerri hand-makes everything from quilts, crib sheets & changing pad covers to the most beautiful boppy covers, vintage floral swaddles and newborn hats {talk about swoon-worthy} and more. I love that her shop offers so many options for both boys and girls and she even offers custom orders if you have something specific in mind for your babe's special space that you don't see in her shop.
The floral bedding set Kerri sent was one of the final pieces to go in Penelope's nursery and I love the vibrant, fresh feel it adds. I never tire of seeing the bright colors and oversized flowers; they are eye-catching and cheerful. I was so impressed with the quality of everything, especially how well the changing pad cover and fitted crib sheet stay on because of the high-quality elastic. The matching plus sign quilt in coral was the perfect addition to drape over the crib and I'm so excited to photograph Miss Poppy laying in all the floral goodness in less than three months!
All the fabrics Kerri uses are top notch and I love her eye for simple, modern design. She executes her vision perfectly because of her background and skill and every piece in her shop is nothing short of amazing.
