Time for our weekly What We Love ♥ Easter is this weekend, so we have been so excited about everything egg-shaped, pastel, and chocolate. It’s also the first week of April. Getting to wear our flow-y dresses and skirts without tights, or a puffy jacket…we can’t wait! haha ;) New beginnings, fresh starts – that’s what the new season means to us. We’re ready to start on some new, fun goals. From Easter to the new season, see what else has been inspiring us this week… ♥
Valeria: Easter Rabbit
Vanessa: Tassel Details
Shannen: Bunny Chow for Easter
Marion: Eucalyptus
Juan: “Carpets” made of colored sawdust for Easter in Guatemala
Ciana: Edible Flower Cookies
We hope you have enjoyed this week’s What We Love. We’d love to know what you’ve been loving most. You can find more from us on our Pinterest! Hoppy Day, everyone ♥

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is having a great day. Today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Brings us back to our childhood, when there was nothing better than a pb&j sandwich with milk. Mmmm.
Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring an awesome quilt shop located in Utah, Just Sew Highland. Just Sew Highland has a wonderful selection of diverse fabric collections, from more traditional to more modern. As well, they have “blocks of the month” on their blog, where they feature projects made by their customers. They recently shared a stunning quilt on their Instagram, with our Wildflowers by Alisse Courter Collection. Eva took the challenge, and created Gigi Thimble’s Fresh Cuts Quilt. Fresh Cuts is such a perfect choice because of the lovely tulip designs. The quilt looks fresh, happy, and spring-y, getting us ready for the new season. We adore the mix of prints that Eva chose from Wildflowers, and that she chose to keep the background white so that the flowers could really pop! The quilt kit is also available at Just Sew.
Just in time for the Easter weekend! Thank you for tagging us on Instagram, Just Sew Highland! We are so in love with this version of the Fresh Cuts Quilt, with our Wildflowers Collection. You can find more from Just Sew Highland on their website, Facebook, and Instagram. And with that, have an epic rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Wednesday!! And Happy First Day of April! We know the saying “April showers, brings May flowers” may be true…but, we’re up for a little rain, as long as the weather is a little warmer. Excited for all the pretty blooms that will start to pop up everywhere!

Hi everyone,

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Echo Pillow Tutorial by Kristy Daum, from our Free Projects Program. Our Echo Pillow has an architectural feel to it, with the fabrics creating angular lines throughout. We love how the linear designs stand out against a more neutral background, to really give that pop of color to any space. We chose to feature Echo with our The Kitten’s Meow Collection, to showcase how versatile this pillow is. How adorable would this pillow look in a little girl’s room? Another fabulous design by one of our faves, Kristy!!

Hi everyone,
Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We have been hosting our Coraline FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter!! :)
It’s also time to kick off another great week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection, a fresh and bright collection to inspire us into the warmer months. Gypsy Lane is full of vivacious hues: bright pink, orange, and turquoise take center-stage in gorgeous floral and dragonfly prints. The lively prints are happy and fun, and would brighten up any space or project. We adore the idea of a Gypsy Lane clutch or skirt; you will definitely be a standout amongst the crowd, in the best way. Add a punch of color to any neutral room with some Gypsy Lane throw pillows or a quirky quilt, for some added pizazz.
Aquilano Rimondi’s Spring RTW 2015 Collection was very fresh and earthy, definitely reminiscent of everything we love about Spring. Chiffon-y materials, light colors, and beautiful flowers dressed each model to create feminine silhouettes. Dragonfly, floral, and butterfly prints were among the patterns Rimondi used, to create ethereal, lightweight shift dresses and skirts. We would love to wear one of the dresses and dance around in a field of flowers – that’s how this collection makes us feel. We adore this dragonfly dress, reminiscent of our dragonfly print in Gypsy Lane.
We hope we have inspired you with today’s post. We’d love to know what has been inspiring you as of late. You can find the full Gyspy Lane Collection here. Have a great day!
Happy Sewing!
