Watercolour lambs, wildflowers, and the sweetest cheater quilt print you've ever seen — perfect for newborn gifts, spring sewing projects, and anyone who loves a little countryside charm. Here are five project ideas using the Lamb collection by Hawthorne Supply Co.
1. Baby Rattle Blocks
Soft fabric rattle blocks are one of the most loved handmade gifts for newborns — easy to sew, quick to finish, and endlessly useful. The Sunday Picnic cheater quilt print is perfect for blocks as the variety of prints is already built in, but any fabric in the Lamb collection works beautifully for a coordinated set.
2. Baby Play Mat and Stroller Blanket
Piece together a generous play mat using the Sunday Picnic cheater quilt print for a quick and practical make that any new parent will love. For a cot or stroller blanket, try backing the lamb block from the Project Panel with soft faux fur for an extra plush finish — the kind of handmade gift that gets used every single day.
3. Cushion Cover and Patchwork Quilt
The Lamb project panels are designed to sew up into a stunning cushion cover with minimal effort — just add a backing and you're done. Pair it with a patchwork quilt using the Sunday Picnic cheater quilt print for a coordinated nursery or bedroom set that looks like it took weeks to make.
4. Doll Clothes and Nursery Accessories
Even small scraps of Spring on Sprout go a long way — a tiny gathered skirt for a ragdoll or bunny doll is a quick and heartwarming make. Combine with blocks from the Project Panel for cushion covers and you have a full nursery vignette that's as pretty as a picture.
5. Girl's Dress and Matching Zippered Pouch
The Spring on White fabric is a dream for children's clothing. A simple sleeveless dress with a gathered skirt lets the lamb and wildflower motifs take centre stage, and a matching zippered pouch makes the perfect gift set for a birthday or baby shower. Beginner-friendly and endlessly sweet.
