Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. It’s the last day to enter our Sea Life FQB Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter! :)
It’s How To’s Day time! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful free project quilt patterns by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa created a couple of projects for us, one being her Hang Time Quilt. Hang Time is a very cool looking quilt, with 16 blocks together to create a window-like effect. If you choose one colour for the lattice design, it looks almost like “stained glass”. Sometimes with an intricate-looking design, less is more when it comes to patterns…so we love the look of Hang Time with our Fresh Solids. The bright colours gives the right amount of oomph to the quilt, and would look incredible on top of a bed or on a wall. It’s pretty much art! You can also find the full pdf printout here.

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day. If you haven’t seen yet, we’ve launched three collections yesterday – Star Wars: Immortals, Marvel: Immortals, and DC Comics: Immortals. Yup, all of our bestselling designs from our past collections are BACK!
Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring a gorgeous duffel bag pattern, the Dallas Vintage Duffel by Swoon Patterns. We had the duffel made up in-house with our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection, and are obsessed with our duffel! We love that it is over-sized because it makes for a perfect weekender bag, or for travelling. Travelling may not always be the most thrilling thing, but the Dallas Vintage Duffel will at least put you at ease when you’re waiting for your suitcases. Yours won’t be the drab, dark one! ;)
The duffel’s pattern was wonderful to follow along to, and the outcome is a structured bag you’ll use for years to come! With our Botanical Collection, it gives the duffel a fantastic vintage vibe. Soo in love with this one!
You can find the pattern to make your own Dallas Vintage Duffel on Swoon Patterns. Another stunning bag from Alicia of Swoon Patterns! You can also find more from Swoon Patterns on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a fantastic day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! We hope you are having a lovely day. It’s another gorgeously, sunny day out today – a little cooler than yesterday, but Spring weather has officially arrived!! Goodbye puffy coats, goodbye heavy boots haha.
Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring another one of our lovely quilt designs, this week’s by Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter. Stephanie created her blog, Late Night Quilter, because that is what she started out as – working full-time during the day (as well as being a full-time mama), and quilting at night. Such a cute name. As she started to get more involved in the quilting world, her blog and brand quickly grew…and she saw herself being more in the quilting industry.
Now, along with her friend Michelle, they run Late Night Quilter – a long arm quilting service and pattern design company based in Austin, Texas. Their style is cool and modern, just like our fabric designs, so we knew they would be a great fit from the start! For our Free Projects Program, Stephanie created her Summer of the Sound Quilt, featuring It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas, which truly showcases the pretty greens and pinks in this collection. The star designs make this quilt truly unique, and would make a fantastic bed quilt or wall decor. Just stunning!

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an awesome day. Feeling a bit of a sugar rush this afternoon, but hey – it was Easter! Where else is all this chocolate going to go? Seems like a legit enough reason to us, haha.
Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a Bar Blocked Floor Mat Tutorial by Made by Marion. Simple, modern, and clean in this design, this bar blocked floor mat features our wonderful osnaburg, a textile that is like canvas but with a lighter weight (can be seen in our Basics Catalog). It is unbleached, like our Heirloom Collection, which is also featured in our project. With our Heirloom Collection, this bar blocked floor mat looks luxurious and regal.
The simple striped design makes it the perfect mat for any interior space – it would look lovely under a glass coffee table or by your bedroom door. Its smaller size makes it a great piece for adding a bit of pizzazz to a floor space, without the commitment of a large rug or carpet.

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday!! We hope you all are having a fantastic day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Coraline FQ Bundle Giveaway, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!
Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Echo Pillow Tutorial by Kristy Daum, from our Free Projects Program. Our Echo Pillow has an architectural feel to it, with the fabrics creating angular lines throughout. We love how the linear designs stand out against a more neutral background, to really give that pop of color to any space. We chose to feature Echo with our The Kitten’s Meow Collection, to showcase how versatile this pillow is. How adorable would this pillow look in a little girl’s room? Another fabulous design by one of our faves, Kristy!!
