Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend. It snowed here this weekend, so that was sort of a bittersweet moment. Spring is this Friday, but we’re still crossing our fingers! We’re also hosting our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway this week, so be sure to enter here.

Time for our Moody Monday! This week, we are featuring our Paradise by Alisse Courter for Camelot Fabrics Collection. Paradise is our festive collection of gorgeous florals, delicate leaves, and medallions in a fun orange, bright pink, and purple color combination. Rich, playful, and vivacious in mood, our Paradise Collection would look beautiful in a colorful, girl’s bedroom or playful skirt. Twirling around in all these wondrous colors has us longing for those hot, sunny “paradise” days.

Louis Vuitton’s 2013 Fall/Winter RTW Collection was broody and mysterious, with its warm earth tones in luxurious fabrics, such as velvet, sateen, lace, and animal skin. Vuitton’s collection reminds us of an old black-and-white film, with the cropped black hair and dark red lips, in hollywood-esque silhouettes. We loved the fun, added textures of ostrich feathers, fur, and tweed – a mix of a lot, but looks fantastic together. We especially adored the ditsy, floral prints which were reminiscent of our Paradise Collection. You can check out the full collection from the show here.

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what prints and colors you’re excited by for Spring. Have an awesome day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope you all had an awesome week!! Today is Friday the 13th…ooh! Is anyone superstitious or have any ‘freaky Friday” stories to share? As for something not so scary, we’re hosting our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page! Be sure to head on over there to enter! :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some incredibly beautiful quilts created by the talented Sharon Challenger, of ShaShaLaRue Quilts. ShaShaLaRue Quilts is Sharon’s online Etsy Shop, a place where she shares her latest quilt creations, all handmade – and made with love. Sharon’s quilt esthetic is modern and colorful, and she shares a multitude of different quilt styles for boys and girls, babies and toddlers. She mentions that quilts can be used for so many things – as playmats, for tummy time, for a picnic at the park, on the beach, for cuddling with on the sofa, or when you need a hug – and we couldn’t agree more. There’s nothing more comforting than snuggling up with a cozy quilt – and some pretty fabric!

Sharon chose our Rise & Shine Collection to create some amazing quilts for her shop. We found her through Instagram, and just had to share! The first is her geometric Triangle Quilt – our yellow, turquoise, and grey designs working perfectly together in the interchanging triangles pattern. Soso pretty and would make for the perfect gift for a mama-to-be!

Sharon also created a quilt designed by Andrea Johnson, from the book “Modern Designs for Classic Quilts”, featuring Rise & Shine. Loving how the quilt still looks fresh and light, perfect for a nursery or little nugget’s room! Her quilts have a modern and crisp look, so they are also perfect for a home that is more contemporary or current in esthetic.

We are so happy that you love our Rise & Shine Collection, Sharon. Thank you for the fabric love, and for sharing them with us on Instagram. Be sure to check out more from Sharon at her Etsy Shop // ShaShaLaRue Quilts, on Facebook, and on Instagram. And with that…another week has come and gone! Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. If you haven’t seen yet, we are hosting a new #Winsday on our Facebook Page. We are giving away an FQ bundle of our Scented fabrics, and want to know what your favorite scent is!

It’s Thankful Thursday time! Today we are featuring Crafts Direct – a fantastic craft store in Minnesota, that has been around since 1990 and growing! Crafts Direct is composed of distinct sections dedicated to all of your crafting needs, and when we say all, we mean it (haha). They have a quilt shop, floral shop, scrapbook shop, seasonal shop, wood & paint shop, and rubber stamps shop. Yup, they basically have it all – a place where the whole family can visit and find something they’ll enjoy! And that definitely makes sense, as family is super important to Crafts Direct – it’s a family-owned business that has grown from 15 to 120 employees.

And, once you’ve spent the day mesmerized by all the crafting deliciousness, they also have a coffee shop for a shopping break. Crafts Direct is also expanded to online, where they share unique projects and tutorials on their blog, featuring their favorite products. We absolutely love how dedicated and passionate Crafts Direct is, about their customers and products!

Crafts Direct created a couple of projects using our beloved ad-fab™ – our adhesive fabric, perfect for a bunch of awesome crafty projects! Crafts Direct shared some really fantastic ones, that we absolutely LOVE!! We wanted to share some of them with you, but there are lots more on their website and blog. All uber cute!!

Some of our favorites are their ad-fab™ Letter Tutorial (featured above with Dream a Little Dream), their ad-fab™ Covered Switch Plate Tutorial (featured above with Nightfall), and their ad-fab™ Wooden Spoon Collection Tutorial (featured in Hot Chocolate).

We definitely recommend checking out the Crafts Direct Pinterest for all of their ad-fab™ project tutorials, as well as their website, blog, Facebook Page, and Twitter. We want to say thank you to everyone at Crafts Direct; we absolutely adore all of the projects and are so happy you enjoy crafting with our ad-fab™! You can check out all our ad-fab™ designs here. Have an awesome day!!
