One of our favorite parts of Andrea's quilts is that they are all different - each one individually made by hand with specially chosen fabrics. So come on in the shop and see what we have in stock right now!
Andrea Price Stevens makes Andrea's Little Lullaby Quilts -- mainly because she likes to buy fabric! Her standard baby gift has always been little crib quilts, and neighbors, family, and friends encouraged her to do more than give them away. She combines bright, fun cotton prints in unusual ways, backs each quilt with "minkie" (a very soft plush fabric), and stitches satin blanket binding around the edges. Each quilt is unique, and really is "Homemade in Chevy Chase."
Andrea grew up in Bethesda, attending Montgomery County Schools (Wyngate, North Bethesda, WJ), and with husband Garrett raised their family in Chevy Chase (becoming a B-CC field hockey mom). Her children, Ben and Jane, are grown and have kids of their own. Grandchildren Alexandra (13), Garrett (nearly 5), Elsie (17 months), and a new grandson born November 8 enrich their lives. Andrea hasn't yet retired from her day job at the Smithsonian as director of strategic communications for the Traveling Exhibition Service, but imagines that she'll have more time for reading, crafts, and travel some day.
