Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. We are hosting our Felt Giveaway on our Facebook Page this week…be sure to head on over there to enter! :)

Time for our Moody Monday!! Today we are featuring one of our beautiful collections from Spring 2013 – Mint to Be by the Camelot Design Studio. Mint to Be is an exquisite collection of orange, mint, and navy hues featuring modern prints of ombre, florals, and lovely geometric shapes. The three main colors in this collection – navy, mint, and orange – all strong and beautiful on their own, are equally stunning in contrast to one another. This collection is fresh, upbeat, and playful…and would make a beautiful playsuit for a little one or an on-trend dress for you!

One collection that is reminiscent of our Mint to Be collection is that of Michael Kors’ Spring 2015 RTW Collection. Michael Kors’ latest collection is packed with a punch of color, texture, and silhouettes that we cannot wait to wear for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons. We love the bold floral prints and nautical feel of the whole collection, but we especially adore this pastel blue combo. It definitely reminds us of a design from Mint to Be, and we would most definitely sport this whole look! You can check out Michael Kors’ full collection here.

You can check out our Mint to Be collection, with all its lovely prints and patterns, here. We’d love to know which design is your favorite. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are doing well today. If you haven’t seen yesterday’s post, we are hosting another Winsday this week. We are giving away 11 Assorted Sheets of our hard felt on our Facebook Page this week. Be sure to check it out and enter!

Time to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic fabric shop – Fabric Worm. Cynthia Mann, owner of Fabric Worm, has always been surrounded by craftiness, with her mum being an avid crafter and entrepreneur. As a little girl, she remembers picking out fabric with her mum to create matching dresses for her and her “Mandy and Jenny” dolls. Her mum has always been busy with her hands, making dough ornaments or sewing clothes, and is now an avid stamper and “Stampin’ Up” Representative. Inspired by mum, Cynthia also really loves to make handmade things but her choice is with pretty fabrics. She has two little boys and loves to make dinosaurs, robots and rocket ships, among other awesome boy things, for them!

Fabric Worm started online, as a small fabric Etsy Shop, and has now expanded to its own website and store. The definition of a ‘fabric worm’ is “a person devoted to fabric” and that is definitely the perfect representation of who they are, who we are, and who their followers are. Fabric Worm is also very active on social media, and has posted about their favorite collections. They have shared a couple of our collections (What a Gem, Let’s Go, and Playground), and the response from their fans was incredible!! It was so fun reading all the wonderful comments about our collections.

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Fabric Worm!! We really appreciate it. You can check out Fabric Worm on their website, Facebook Page, Twitter, Pinterest, blog, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. Today is National Mulled Cider Day…yum! And just perfect for the cooler weather, we definitely could use a mug of mulled cider this morning.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been busy expanding our Free Projects Program on our website, and have been getting such amazing responses from all of you. We thought we would share our newest additions, to our website, on the blog. Today we are featuring our Twist on Tradition Quilt by Larene Smith of The Quilted Button. This is a beautiful, whimsical, and scrappy-like quilt design that would work wonderfully for a baby’s nursery or as an accent quilt on a sofa. The wispy design makes this quilt look very intricate and exquisite, and we think it would be remarkable as wall decor. As well, it looks just fabulous with our Pastel Me More collection, making this quilt happy and popping.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! This is our first Moody Monday feature of the fall, and for a sweet start to the season we’ve chosen a fresh little outfit from Jil Sander’s Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection. With its clean white ground and fizzy pops of paisley, this jacket & shorts combo reminded us of nothing so much as our Pepsi quilting cotton. Of course we’re also adoring those luscious blocks of color  incorporated into the runway. It’s almost as if Sander took a peep at this jazzy-hued print before designing her catwalk! Honestly, do you need any more convincing that these two collections are meant for each other? No? Didn’t think so.
