Today’s pattern was inspired by the opening of ICON7, the illustration conference I attended last June, in Providence (Rhode Island).
Where would you like to see this pattern applied?
Very off-topic, but very exciting, today I’m featured on “On the Side Project” blog, where different entrepreneurs talk about their side projects. I tell the story behind the origin of abbrigate* as well as my zine “We’re in Panama!”. Hope you like it and share your thoughts below, in the comments section.
This blanket was another first – and a very happy one! It was a collaboration with a long time friend, for another friend’s baby. The text is in portuguese and french, and was written in two different continents. Merci Manue!

This blanket is a first! It was customized for Lucas, but bearing in mind that it will be for his sibling when they come. The graphic designer in me rejoiced at the challenge and you can see above what the solution looks like. It is cotton floss on cotton fabric, with cotton flannel as batting.

When an auntie requests a baby blanket for a beloved baby due to arrive soon, we oblige. This was the case with this blanket, made to order. If you look closely, you will see all the kisses this aunt planned to give her “niece” when they finally met.
It´s cotton floss on cotton fabric, with cotton flannel as batting.

Quando uma tia faz um pedido especial de uma manta cheia de beijinhos para a sua “sobrinha”, as agulhas, aqui deste lado, não param enquanto a manta não está repleta de repenicados ósculos para tão adorada sobrinha.
Como sempre, a manta é bordada com fio de algodão sobre algodão e o recheio é de flanela de algodão.

When the computer screen and I were so tired of each other and no longer friends, I moved to the other part of my job: the making. Two baby blankets were finished today and will be shipped tomorrow. Hope their rightful owners will love them and adopt them as their security blankets (which has happened and is greatest compliment I can receive regarding them).
For abbrigate*, of course.
The weekend was spent relaxing after the craziness of the beginning of May. And, while avoiding the part of our home that is under construction (the floor colapsed due to shifts in the support structure of our building), we had a really nice time. I took my time embroidering a baby blanket for a dear friend´s baby and baked a chocolate cake (Julia Child´s recipe, with adaptations to make it dairy free), which is a weekend tradition for us. Walnuts instead of almonds, this time around.
Happy Monday!
This blanket was a very special order for a very special niece of a very special auntie. It is full with love and now hugging baby Mariana.
It is cotton embroidery floss on cotton fabric, with cotton flannel batting.
