Hi everyone,
Happy Friday!! Weekend, weekend!! Here we come! Also, be sure to enter our A Marsala Moment Giveaway on our Facebook Page :)
Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a really pretty quilt, quilted by Katherine Gray. She used the Yuma Quilt pattern by GothamQuilts, which is a super fun geometric quilt designs of lots of scattered equilateral triangles. Katherine chose to feature our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection, and we absolutely adore how the pink, coral, and blue prints mix together. As well, the whimsical quilt pattern works really well with our boho-inspired collection. Katherine decided a beach setting would go nicely as a backdrop to her quilt, and we definitely agree!
Thank you so much, Katherine, for the fabric love! The quilt pattern and What a Gem Collection definitely go hand-in-hand, and love how your quilt turned out. You can find the quilt pattern for the Yuma Quilt here. Have an awesome-tastic weekend, everyone – you deserve it!!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day. Have you entered our A Marsala Moment FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter here!
It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of the many wonderful projects we had sewn for our Spring Quilt Market booth. Carrie Burnett of Beri Bee Designs sewed a clutch with our Elixir collection, using the In a Clutch Cosmetic Case pattern by SewStitchingHappy. We loved the simplicity of the clutch pattern, and wanted to feature our feminine orchid hues from Elixir in a chic way. We chose our orchid ikat print for the clutch’s body, complimented by the orchid honeycomb print for the top trim. The cosmetic case turned out beautifully; the perfect pop of color to have in your handbag.
Thank you so much, Carrie, for sewing this clutch for us for our Quilt Market booth. It looked wonderful in the Elixir section! You can find more from Carrie on her Facebook, where she creates and sews children’s clothing and accessories. Have a fabulous rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week – but yes, we’re so are so glad it’s the weekend!!
We are very excited to be sharing this week’s Fan Friday project…because it’s one of our own, exclusive tutorials: our Quilted Bucket Bag! Jennifer Trumbo saw the tutorial on our blog, and fell in love. She created our bucket bag for her #coloroftheyearswap partner, and loved it SO much, that she made one for herself with the same fabrics. She didn’t have any trouble with our tutorial, and mentioned that our pattern was perfect (aw, shucks!) and that the bag had plenty of room. Her finished bag looks fantastic, and we adore the fun prints she chose.
Thank you so much, Jen, for the project love! You don’t know how excited we were when we saw your bag – SO glad you had fun with the project!! Hope your new bag has many awesome adventures with you! You can find the free tutorial for our Quilted Bucket Bag on our website. And with that, have a lovely weekend!!
Happy Sewing!
