    Last Modified: April 26, 2025 by Amy · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 1 Comment

    With Mother's Day just a few weeks away, I thought I'd share a list of some some Quilt-y themed Mother's Day gifts to make or give to one of your favorite moms. (Or, to share with your loved ones as a *hint hint*. 😉 Many of these are new this year and one of them might be just the thing to spark your creative gift-giving ideas.

    Gifts to Make for Moms

    Quilted Tote Bags

    Have some orphan quilt blocks lying around? Use this tutorial from Remi Vail Studio to make darling a quilted tote bag.

    If you know a mom who needs a big tote bag (but also loves something pretty) check out this new Altoona Bag Pattern from Shelly at Ma Tante Quilts. The pattern includes 3 different sizes. I just bought the pattern and can't wait to make one!

    Know any Soccer Moms (or any-sport-moms)? Make them a comfy, padded seat cushion. You can even customize it with her team's favorite colors and name. Plus it's got handles for easy carrying AND a pocket for extra storage. Because what mom doesn't love pockets?! Free Stadium Cushion Tutorial by Jessica Steele.

    Suzy Quilts has a tutorial for a modern patchwork apron that would be both practical and a great way to show off some cute fabric.
