Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! In honor of World Kindness Day, we just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who takes the time to visit our lil ol’ blog each day. We appreciate you so much!

Ending the week with our Fan Friday! Today’s feature is an adorable baby set by DolceVera with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. Karen What a Gem is a boho-inspired collection of arrows, geometric shapes, and dreamy dream-catchers. Karen, creator behind DolceVera, was inspired to start her little shop after having her daughter – Vera. Wanting to dress her up in all the pretty things she decided to start sewing, with the help of her mom, and caught the sewing bug. Her hobby eventually turned into a business (name inspired by her daughter!), where she creates sweet baby shoes and other baby items – all handmade with passion & love.

One little set that caught our eye is this What a Gem baby set she sent to a customer. It features a pair of adorable soft sole baby shoes and a matching burp cloth. She chose a pink print from our What a Gem collection, and we adore how sweet it looks as baby attire. Those shoes!! 

We hope the lucky little girl enjoys her new shoes and blankie!! Thank you so much, Karen, for the fabric love. For more from Karen, be sure to check out her Etsy Shop and Instagram. And with that, hope you all have a fun weekend!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Chilly, gloomy, mid-November day… but it’s almost the weekend! ;)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a couple of projects we had sewn for our Fall Quilt Market booth. One of our favorite quilters, and fellow Montrealer, Stephanie Baldwin quilted one quilt and sewed two bags for our booth. And, as always, Stephanie did an a-MAZ-ing job. The two bags were done with our new Flourish by Ciana Bodini collection, a gorgeous green and pink floral collection. The first is the Sienna Tote by  lbg studio. We chose the darker floral for the body, which contrasted nicely with the mint green gingham handles and bottom. The other bag is the Della Wallet Clutch by Swoon Patterns. We love how pretty this clutch came out, and would make for a perfect Christmas gift!

As well, Stephanie quilted our Cracker Lattice Quilt with our With Love by Jack!e McFee collection. We had never seen the physical version of the quilt, so we were especially excited to see this one. The pink and tan heart & floral prints worked wonderfully in this quilt design… we always love Stephanie’s quilting! It was the perfect backdrop to our With Love section.

Thank you SO much, Stephanie, for creating such stunning projects for our Fall Quilt Market booth. We are always so ecstatic to see the projects you sew for us (almost as exciting as Christmas morning)! If you want to make your own With Love/Cracker Lattice quilt – click here for the free pattern. Have a marvelous rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!
