Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a great day so far. We’re hosting another Winsday this week, our No-Sew Pillow Cover Kit including May Arts Ribbon and our Wildflowers Collection. You can enter on our Facebook Page here.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our fantastic pattern designers, Joanne Hillestad of The Fat Quarter Gypsy. We have previously featured Joanne in a Thankful Thursday, but we wanted to share some new, fabulous projects that Joanne had been working on. And, we’re also introducing an honorary member to The Fat Quarter Gypsy – her son! Joanne’s son designed a pattern for our Free Projects Program, and we think that he is the coolest ever. On top of that, his quilt is just as amazing!

Inspired by Star Wars, his “The Force” Quilt includes a lightsaber-esque pattern to create a super neat look. Our “The Forces” Quilt definitely looks fantastic in our Star Wars Collection, but we think it will look great in a modern collection too (ie. Gypsy Lane). You can create your very own “The Forces” Quilt – find the free PDF printout here. A big thank you to Joanne’s son! 

Another fun project is one of Joanne’s latest quilt designs – Sweet Ups and Downs. This beautiful quilt is a chevron pattern, with a chevron-ed edge that we are in love with. Such a stunning look! The pattern also includes two different sizes, twin and baby-sized, so lots of options to create. Joanne made a Sweet Ups and Downs in our Design Studio Collection, and it’s really just so pretty. We love the contrast between the black and blue in the chevron design!

Thank you so much for sharing it with us, Joanne, and for choosing our collection!And thank you to Joanne’s son for the fantastic design. We’re predicting even more design amazing-ness for you! You can find the “The Forces” Quilt printout PDF here. As well, you can also find out more from The Fat Quarter Gypsy on her website, blog, and Facebook. Have a lovely day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! This week, we’re showing you how to make a fun tote bag, with a band of pom-pom trim for a little extra pizzazz. Big enough to act as an overnight bag, this playful tote is an optimistic nod toward spring when it’s sewn up in blossom-colored cottons like the ones from our Pastel me More cotton collection.

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! It’s the end of the week! We are looking forward to staying IN this weekend..soso cold. It was definitely a trek coming into the office this morning with the blowing snow and -30C temperatures – BRR!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a lovely pillow with our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk Collection. Fili & Lino is a blog by two crafty girls who met through the interwebs! We love that!! Together they created a blog to share their passion for crafting & sewing. They feature fantastic tutorials, their latest project adventures, and have an Etsy Shop for custom orders. They also post their latest creations on Instagram, where we saw their Let’s Go Pillow. Instant joy from us! We adore the feather print in our Let’s Go Collection, and think it looks fantastic as an accent pillow. Perfect for accessorizing a bed or tub chair!

Thanks so much for the tag, girls! We’re obsessed with your Let’s Go pillow and think you have a lovely blog. You can find more from Fili & Lino on their blog, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Instagram. And that’s about it for this week. Have a wonderful weekend!! :)
