Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic, National Soft Ice Cream Day! Get yourself a delicious chocolate or vanilla soft serve (we love the duo kind!), kick back and relax, and enjoy today!

 

On to our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Baby Blocks Quilt by Larene Smith of The Quilted Button. Our Baby Blocks Quilt is a lovely block-by-block pattern of squares that create a clean and contemporary design, perfect for a modern nursery. The different “squares” allow for you to have fun with different fabric prints, to create visual interest. We chose to feature our feminine Emilia Collection, and chose like patterns in a diagonal design. The border is our darker medallion print, which gives the overall quilt a nice warmth.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day so far. If there’s a food holiday, you know we’re going to share about it. Today happens to be National Chocolate Chip Day. Well I guess we’ll have to eat some chocolate chip cookies then, in doing our part to celebrate the day ;)

 

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a beautiful tutorial for our Box Trot Quilt, designed by the incredibly talented Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. The box-like pieces in our Box Trot Quilt are perfect for highlighting a multitude of different fabric patterns, overall giving a very fun and whimsical look. Each “box” is bordered, which we chose to keep neutral and uniform with the background in the quilt below. We chose to feature our Beach House by Jack!e McFee collection, mixing the coral and tide colorways for a relaxing ocean feel. We love how the bright colors pop against the white background; such a modern and feminine quilt!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day!! Today is National Milk Chocolate Day. Milk chocolate is delicious in pretty much any form – milk chocolate bars, milk chocolate cake, milk chocolate ice cream…and the dreamy list goes on and on!

 

It’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our beloved free pillow patterns on our website, the Elevation Pillow by Kristy Daum. Elevation is a beautiful modern pillow that creates a super cool “graph-like” design, while keeping the rest clean space. This pillow pattern allows for the sewer to mix-and-match different fabrics together, as the design is made up of smaller triangles. We love keeping each etched “line” more uniform in color, to separate the three individual lines, which creates a really cool feel.

 

We’ve had Elevation sewn up quite a few times, but we thought we’d share a classic favorite – with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. We adore how the whimsical prints look together in this one!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway, so head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!

 

It’s How To’s Day! Today’s tutorial is for a super pretty Bias Trimmed Pillow Sham by Marion of Made by Marion. This bias trimmed pillow sham is a fun twist on your basic pillow cover. Its diagonal design gives the pillow a modern feel, along with the trim detailing and easy back zipper closure. Make two (or more!) and spruce up your bed space – goodbye boring pillow cases, hello gorgeous pillow shams! We chose to feature our Emilia Collection, with its lovely purple and grey hues, which makes for a very feminine and soft look.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a lovely day. Today is Shark Awareness Day! Cool shark fact of the day? Sharks’ ears are located inside of their heads, and can hear up to 3000 feet away!! Wow. They’ve definitely got supreme hearing skills!

 

On to our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our High Tide Pillow by Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter. The High Tide pillow is a fun design, comprised of different sized triangles and trapezoids. Together they create an awesome, scrappy and whimsy feel. This larger, 20″ x 20″ sized pillow is perfect as an accent pillow for a serene living room space, or to jazz up some plain outdoor wicker chairs. We chose to feature this pillow with our London Fog collection, and had fun mixing the different teal & grey prints together. The finished pillow is fun, but would still fit perfectly into a contemporary space.
