From Crochet Keepsakes to Cotton Linen Blooms: Why Bouquet Blankets Were Needed

For years, anyone who searched for a bouquet style blanket found the same result. Crochet. Beautiful to look at, but not built for everyday life. They were delicate. They took months to make. They were keepsakes, not blankets you could take to the park or lay across a sofa.

Parents needed something different. Gift givers needed something special. Homes needed something that felt warm, soft, and still worthy of being on display.

The crochet versions never solved that need. They were too open to snags, too fragile for children, too decorative to be functional. They were flowers, not blankets.

The breakthrough came when a young mother wanted something symbolic. A reminder of new life. A reminder that her daughter, Verity, was her first bloom. Linen was her favorite material. Cotton was the softest for her baby’s skin. She combined both. She stitched until the fabric felt strong but gentle. Then she created flowers from linen. Not crocheted. Not flimsy. Hand sewn petals, secured tightly, meant to last.

The first Bouquet Blanket came to life because one mother needed something meaningful and practical at the same time. A blanket that could be used daily. A bouquet that stayed beautiful forever.

It was not a reinvention of crochet. It was something entirely new. The first cotton and linen quilt that rolled into a bouquet. A giftable blanket. A display piece. Something homes had never seen, and families instantly understood.

This filled the gap that had been waiting for years. The perfect blend of comfort, design, and story.
