Moms can be very hard to buy for. So often, they will tell you that they don’t want anything… At least, that is what our mother used to do. But my sister and I make some things that may do the trick for you.
A custom quilt, like no other, can be a wonderful thing — especially if your mother is a person who feels the cold. It is a gift of warmth from your heart to hers. Here are a couple of quilt tops, ready to be quilted, that can be turned around quickly.

Lavender is Lovely
Or, if your mother finds the scent of lavender soothing, we make lap throws with organic lavender quilted right in. These are $175 plus shipping. Here is an example — we will make it in colors of your choosing, however:

We also make 23” x 17” lavender pads for $40 plus $6.45 shipping and 13.5” x 9.5” lavender pads for $20 plus $6.45 shipping. She could put one under her pillow, in a lingerie drawer, or even on the seat of a favorite chair.
Pootie Pads (New Fabrics!)
Does your mother have a pet? We make aromatic quilts for cats and dogs, Pootie Pads.
Nothing brings a smile like watching a beloved cat blissed out on the best catnip ever. We use the finest, Oregon Tilth certified organic catnip — and we use a lot of it, so much that a pad will bring your mom’s cat pleasure for well over a year. Encased in cotton fabric that has been pre-washed to remove all toxic sizing, Pootie Pads are a wonderful thing for cats of all ages. We have been told that older cats find them especially comforting, perhaps because the herb eases aches and pains. They are also very good for stressful situations — lining the cat carrier with one can make a trip to the vet a lot easier.
Pootie Pads for cats come in three sizes. Fabric choices for original and petite sizes are here - or let us choose for you. Check out the page, there are new fabrics to choose from!
Original: 23" x 17" $35 plus $6.45 shipping
Petite: 13.5" x 9.5" ONE for $18 plus $6.45 shipping OR TWO for $35 plus $6.45 shipping
Play Size (let us choose for you): 8" x 4.5 FOUR for $35 plus $6.45 shipping
We also have Pootie Pads for dogs -- filled with soothing organic lavender and thyme. You can find the dog pads here.
