In 1992 we found a mill that would sell us rolls of fabric that we could then cut and sew into crib blankets. We hired a local sewing contractor to make our blankets from this fabric, but a few years later they went out of business. Meanwhile, we were now selling to children’s stores nationwide, and needed a reliable source of quality blankets.

We found a contractor out of state and they made our blankets for several more years. However, the quality of sewing wasn’t always up to our high standards, and delivery was often slow. At this time we also decided to bring the binding of the crib blankets in house. We bought binding machines, set them up in our living room and learned how to bind blankets. We hired two people to do the binding – they worked at night in our living room after the day shift had gone home!

By this time, the business had taken over our home, and we decided we needed to move the business to a separate location. In 1995, we purchased a 2,600 square foot building and moved our entire operation – by this time we had 4 embroidery machines as well as two binding machines and eight employees.

During the next 5 years we saw many changes in the textile industry – and the southern mill that was our sole source of blanket fabric told us they were closing. Once again we were desperate to find fabric to make quality crib blankets to fill our ever-increasing orders. A mill in Maine supplied our fabric for several years until they filed Chapter 11 early in 2001.

This time, we decided to investigate other fabrics suitable for crib blankets – and discovered that polyester fleece was the perfect alternative. It was available from several sources, the quality was consistent and most important, it embroidered beautifully! In April of 2001 we started making our blankets out of fleece.

In September of 2001 we moved to an 8,000 sq. ft. facility which allows us to maintain a large inventory of fabric, as well as sewn crib blankets. We now also manufacture other baby items and can offer these high quality products such as hooded towels, pillowcases and receiving blankets along with our crib blankets to children's stores and gift shops nationwide.
