Collection: "The Gardenia" Receiving Blanket

"The Gardenia" Receiving Blanket is a timeless keepsake, lovingly handcrafted using traditional French hand-sewing techniques and designed to be treasured for generations. Made entirely by hand, this blanket reflects the quiet beauty, patience, and craftsmanship of heirloom needlework—created not for a season, but for a lifetime.

Each blanket measures approximately 36" x 45", making it the perfect size for swaddling, nursery use, christenings, portraits, and special occasions. Crafted from 100% high-quality organic cotton, it is exceptionally soft yet remarkably durable—designed to be used, washed, loved, and passed down.

The blanket is finished with a generous 4-inch 100% cotton eyelet lace trim, carefully applied by hand. The edge is completed with a cotton pearl Point de Paris stitched finish, a traditional hand-sewn detail that adds both strength and beauty while ensuring the blanket maintains its shape over time. Each piece is pre-laundered to prevent shrinkage and preserve its integrity.

Personalization & Custom Design

Each Gardenia Heirloom Receiving Blanket is made to order and fully customizable. Blankets may be monogrammed with a baby’s name or initials, or—when creating a true heirloom piece—customers often choose a classic motif such as a traditional baby rattle design. A cross motif is also available and is especially meaningful for christening or baptism blankets.

Designs, thread colors, fonts, and motifs are thoughtfully chosen to coordinate with your baby’s nursery theme and personal style. Inspiration photos, fabric references, or Pinterest links are always welcome, and we are happy to guide you through the process to ensure a beautifully cohesive result.

An Heirloom Worth Keeping

This is not a disposable baby blanket. It is a piece meant to be folded carefully into hope chests, wrapped around future generations, and remembered long after the nursery has changed. From its French-inspired handwork to its Southern roots, the Gardenia Heirloom Receiving Blanket is a celebration of craftsmanship, tradition, and enduring beauty.
