Hi everyone,
Happy Monday! I hope you all are had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend!! It was such a lovely weekend for us, which was spent outdoors swimming and BBQing :)
Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are taking a complete 180 with season, and featuring our Winter Wonderland by Heather Rosas collection. The blue, grey, and pink hues are uplifting and cozy in this charmingly cute collection of winter characters. From the regal ice princess to the sweet penguins, polar bears, and foxes wearing winter gear, Winter Wonderland truly is full of magic & delight! Yes, it’s Summer now but hey – there’s never a wrong time for adorable prints, right? ;) We can imagine a winter-themed quilt or pillow, as well as these dreamy tabbed curtains.
This Pierre Balmain Spring collection was so bright and modern. There was a definite street wear feel to all of his outfits (all the outfits were styled perfectly for the model’s to head to an event after the show!), which is not something you see all the time on a runway. Lots of colorful Spring jackets, printed capris and shorts, and fun textural pairings (leather & lace, satin & animal print). One of the really fun jackets was this snowflake printed one, which we LOVED. It was so cool and reminded us of our Winter Wonderland collection.
We hope we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what your favorite Summer trends for the year are. Have an awesome rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic afternoon!! It’s Father’s Day this weekend, so here’s to all the incredibly strong and supportive dads – we appreciate you so much!
Time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a super pretty quilt done by Nicole of byLerina. Nicole started her shop in December 2013, when she truly discovered for love for sewing and its craft. She created byLerina, on Facebook and now as an independent website that is coming soon. She sews and features adorable children’s clothing, for little girls and boys, as well as fun accessories and quilts. Nicole designed a precious, little girl’s quilt as a baptism gift – for a girl named Emma. We are so obsessed!
She chose our Fairyville by Heather Rosas as the main fabric collection. It was the perfect girly and playful color palette for this quilt, and we adore how she wrote “Emma” and her birthday on it. Such a touching quilt and gift!
Thank you for the fabric love, Nicole. We are so happy you enjoyed sewing with our Fairyville collection. We hope Emma loves her new quilt! You can find more from Nicole on her Facebook Page, Instagram, and website. Have an incredible weekend everyone!!
Happy Sewing!

Today we are sharing our What We Love #53 ♥ We’re always looking for inspiration wherever we travel, which hasn’t been a difficult task with the summertime weather. A trip to the farmer’s market is just bursting with inspiration, from the colorful fresh fruit & veggies, vibrant cut flowers, and delicious sweets (hellooo gelato!). With the warmer months, we’ve also been loving the summer trends – airy dresses and shorter tresses are some of our faves. See what else has been inspiring us this week… ♥

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! Did you enter our #Winsday yet? Jackie McFee is hosting a Heavy Metal FQB Giveaway on her Pinterest, so head on over to enter!! :)
Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous quilt pattern that Susan of Swirly Girls Design created for us, for our Free Projects Program. Her Flying High Quilt is a playful and modernistic quilt pattern, with equilateral triangles creating a neat “flying high” design(almost like geese!). The tiered triangles are a whimsical statement on a quilt design, and you can have fun with different color palettes & patterns.
The Kitten’s Meow was one of the fabric collections we chose to feature at this Spring’s Quilt Market, and we featured Flying High. Susan was able to quilt it for us too, and we even got to meet her at Quilt Market! What a pleasure! Susan is such a talented quilter and pattern designer, and we are so happy that we have gotten to work with her! The Flying High quilt was the perfect backdrop for our The Kitten’s Meow section at the booth – one of the crowd favorites too!
Thank you, Susan, for designing such a beautiful quilt pattern for our Free Projects Program, and for quilting it for us. You ROCK!! Make your own Flying High quilt here – with the free PDF printout! You can find more from Susan at her website here. And with that, have an amazing day!
Happy Sewing!
