Time for our What We Love #56 ♥ With the wonderful weather we’ve been getting, it’s hard not to feel inspired by all the beauty that is around us. From interesting artwork (how lovely is this woodsy deer print?) to delicious recipes (hello, homemade blueberry jam & cucumber mezcal margaritas!), there’s always something new to try or find. And birthdays. Who doesn’t love birthdays? Happy birthday to Marion’s brother, Jake! See what else we’ve been loving…

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fabulous day. Have you been keeping up with the blog with week? We’ve been launching our Summer 2015 collections all of this week.
Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring our wonderful friends at May Arts Ribbon, whom we have been collaborating with on some upcoming blog projects. May Arts Ribbon is a ribbon company, who specialize in wonderful quality ribbons of all sorts. Starting out as a high-quality silk flowers company, they soon realized how popular their ribbons were among their customers. And thus, they slowly graduated to being a ribbon wholesaler. From decorative ribbons for crafting, lace ribbons, 100% silk ribbon, and trims & embellishments – May Arts’ ribbon are one of the best! They have endless designs, colors, and types of ribbon that you are bound to find the right one for your next project.
One of the projects they created with our Folklore Collection was a tablet case. The DIY Tablet Case is designed like a book, with a top cover to protect your tablet screen. As well, it features a pocket in the front cover for convenience, and elasticized ribbon to securely hold the tablet in place. Jenifer of Stitch, Cute, and Create was the project designer, and used coordinating red ribbon and trim to decorate the tablet case. Our favorite part was that Jenifer cut out a little birdie and flower design from the fabric, and used them to decorate the front. Such a creative idea!
We absolutely adore the project, May Arts Ribbon and Jenifer! You all rock!! You can check out the tutorial for this tablet case here. Have a great rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!

It’s our Summer 2015 Collection Launch Week! I hope you have been loving all of your current launches. Today we are summertime-inspired with our Pink Lemonade Collection by Ciana Bodini for Camelot Fabrics. When life gives you lemons…get inspired for a fabric collection! Pink Lemonade is bright, sunny, and all things sweet. Bursts of fresh lemon and soft pink & grey hues are combined to create this cheery and quirky collection. Brighten up your kitchen with a super sweet Pink Lemonade apron, along with matching table napkins and table runner. And then make a jug of the classic favorite – there’s nothing like a delicious glass of cold, slightly tart lemonade on a hot, summer’s day!
Make matching circle skirts for you and your little nugget – how cute would that be? We love our Diamonds Quilt by The Girl Who Quilts with our fresh Pink Lemonade prints – it adds a happy pop of color to any space!
