Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! It is also the first of April today!! And April Fools Day! Did anyone try pulling a prank on someone else or got a prank pulled on them? :) We love a brilliant joke or prank here in the office, as long as it’s all in good fun! Happy pranking! :)

 

We are starting off April with this week’s How To’s Day. Today we are going to share with you another one of our quilt designs – Our Flying High Quilt by Swirly Girls Design for Camelot Fabrics. This quilt design is playful and modernistic, with the triangles creating an awesome “flying high” pattern (almost like geese!) that works wonderfully with our Take Flight Collection. The tiered triangles also give this otherwise simple and clean design more of a bold statement!

This quilt design would look fantastic with any collection, and is perfect as a kid’s quilt or for snuggling with on the couch, but we especially adore it with our Take Flight Collection. You can get the PDF version of this tutorial on our website, in the our Free Projects Program section, but today we are going to share the tutorial with you on the blog. Be sure to also check out Swirly Girls Design for lots more, as well as their Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Twitter!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! How has everyone’s week been going so far? Still a little cold here, but at least we’ve been having longer & brighter days. Warmer weather is hopefully just around the corner. Have you entered our Beyond the Backyard FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? Today is the last day, so tell us what your favorite thing about Spring is on our Facebook post to enter! :)

 

On to this week’s How To’s Day! We’ve got another fantastic free project to share with you all. Today we are sharing our Cascading Chevrons Pillow Tutorial – an absolutely stunning, decorative pillow that is the perfect accessory for any home design. Today, decorative pillows are extremely popular and an easy way to spruce up any space but they can get really pricey. As well, finding the right pillow to fit your home décor, style, or color palette adds an additional challenge.   With today’s tutorial, we have got the solution to all those problems and more!

 

Our chevron pillow is polished and contemporary, would fit the esthetic of any style (just by choosing different fabric prints!), pretty simple to make with our tutorial, and definitely cost-effective. We can imagine a sleek white couch or simple daybed adorned by a couple of our chevron pillows in bright, fun fabric choices. There are endless possibilities, but that’s the splendor of this tutorial!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are doing well. With the hype of St. Patty’s Day slowly fazing out now, it only gives us more reason to start conjuring up fun ideas for Easter. Yup, we are super into the holidays if you haven’t already noticed (hehe). One of our latest How To’s days was an informative how-to tutorial on sewing on a button (the easiest of ways!) – if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to here (It will also help with today’s tutorial!).

 

This week’s How To’s Day is for the most adorable corduroy, overall dress that we like to call our Tiny Adventures Dress.  This dress is perfect for any little girl who loves to explore and venture to places of great imagination, who believes in fairytales and following their dreams. That is why the name of this dress if exceptionally fitting, because wearing our overall dress can only lead to the wildest and most magical of adventures! :)

We used our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection for this quilt, which makes it very fresh, vibrant, and pretty. This would be the perfect quilt for snuggling up with a book on those cooler nights, to use as an esthetic piece to vamp up a room, or even as wall décor!
