Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fabulous day. We are hosting a new giveaway this week – our The Kitten’s Meow Collection. Let us know what you would create with our adorable collection for a chance to win!

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous quilt pattern designed by Nicole Maroon of The Girl Who Quilts. The Diamonds Quilt is a lovely quilt pattern, featuring columns of octagon and diamond shapes. Each block features a different pattern, and the outline allows for a beautiful gradient effect of colors.

We love the idea of sticking to a synonymous color palette, such as the sea-inspired blue and green hues of our Zoey collection, so as to keep a harmonious look. We chose the grey SKUs from Zoey to create the bordered ombre effect; dark to light to dark again, and LOVE how it turned out. Nicole of The Girl Who Quilts designed this modern quilt pattern for us, and also quilted it for our Spring Quilt Market booth. It is such a pretty pattern digitally, but seeing it in person – it is a stunner! 

We want to thank Nicole for designing such a beautiful quilt design, and for quilting it for us for Quilt Market. You are amazing!! You can find more from Nicole, and all of her quilting wonders, on her website. You can also create your very own Diamonds Quilt; here is the free printable PDF. Have a lovely day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend, ready to rock another week!! :)

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Green with Envy by Jackie McFee Collection. Green with Envy is our luscious botanical collection of rich navy and green hues. Mixing in some modern geometrics and fun chevrons in different shades of our beloved green color, Green with Envy is the collection of collections for our fellow green enthusiasts (also available in our double gauze!). Decorate your space to have a cozy, earthy feel with some GWE tabbed curtains and a standout bed quilt.

Michael Kors’ Spring 2014 collection was wonderfully nature-inspired, with its cool earth tone color palette and botanical prints. Beautiful navy, woodsy, and leaf green prints draped against each model to create an ethereal feel. We especially adore his green leaf prints, such as this outfit here, which was reminiscent of our Green with Envy collection. Perfectly fit for a woodland fairy!

Hope today’s Moody Monday has inspired you. We’d love to know what trends you are most excited about for the Summer weather. Have an awesome day!

Happy Sewing!

Time for this week’s What We Love #54  ♥ Yesterday was St. Jean Baptiste in Quebec, and our day was spent with the ones we love. It was a nice day out too, so it was the perfect day for a trip to the pool or a picnic at a local park. Taking time to enjoy the people who mean the most to you, doing even the simplest of things, is one of the most rewarding things in life. We love love. See what has been inspiring us this week… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. It’s the last day to enter Jackie McFee’s Heavy Metal Giveaway, so be sure to enter here!!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day!! Today we are sharing a superrr fun Pom-Pom Beach Cover-up tutorial, designed by Marion of Made by Marion. It’s officially beach season now, so we were inspired to make something that we could use for the beach or pool.

There’s nothing like spending the day soaking up the sun with a good book, and then going for a relaxing swim. And then after your fun-in-the-sun day, take yourself from beach to dinner with our stylish pom-pom cover-up. Our lightweight double gauze fabric is airy and soft, so it won’t be uncomfortable if your bathing suit is still damp – and it’s perfect for the hot weather! Our Magnolia double gauze print makes for a very pretty tunic, especially with the pom-pom details. Add some shorts, a cami, a necklace or a belt, and you’ve also got yourself a casual dinner top!

Want to make your very own pom-pom beach cover-up? All you’ll need is a beach or pool, and you’re set for a day in the sun & water! Click MORE to see the full tutorial.

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!
