Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! Hope you all are having a lovely day. Have you entered our Green with Envy FQB Giveaway yet? Be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring  one of our favorite quilters, who sewed a quilt for us for Quilt Market. I know, Fall Quilt Market is already coming up oh-so quickly that the Spring one seems so far away… but we really wanted to share this beautiful quilt with all of you! As well as the quilter behind it, because we adore her! Vicki of Orchid Owl Quilts has quilted a few quilts for us (some of them are hush hush for now! ;)), and every time we receive a quilt we are amazed at the intricate work she does. She quilted our Butterfly Quilt (one of the free patterns on our website), with our Botanical Collection, and this one especially “wowed” us (it’s also a big one!). We loved how it acted as a showstopper backdrop for our Botanical section!

And here’s a Herringbone Quilt she did for us, with our Mixology and Scented fabrics:
(obsessed with the quilt work!)

Thank you so much, Vicki, for always doing such incredible work for us! She has also helped us in checking some of our patterns, and is always so great to work with. We appreciate you so much, Vicki! To check out more from Vicki, be sure to visit her website and Instagram! She’s always posting something new and wonderful. You can also find the free printout for the Butterfly quilt here. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! Have you entered our Fresh Solids Giveaway yet? We’d love to know what your favorite Fresh Solid color is. You can enter here if you haven’t! :)

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday!! Today we are featuring one of our lovely project designers, Melissa Stramel of Lilac Lane Patterns! Melissa Stramel is a lover of all things floral! Whether it is tending to her garden, flower arrangement, or creating with floral fabrics, Melissa is always up for the challenge. While staying at home and sewing for her children, Melissa decided to combine her love for fabric & creating patterns by starting a business called Lilac Lane Patterns. After its success, Lilac Lane grew into a store in her hometown of Colby, Kansas called Creations Gallery. A pharmacist by training, Melissa has found the industry that encapsulates her skills and her loves perfectly! Melissa creates and sells her patterns under Lilac Lane, has a blog, and also has published a book! A very busy gal, indeed!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa of Lilac Lane Patterns for a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Melissa has such a creative mind, and created some really unique patterns for us. The first project is her Butterfly Quilt, which has a very cool, scrappy look with adorable little “butterflies” in the quilt design. We absolutely adore it with our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection. As well, her genius “The Sky is Falling” Table Runner with our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham Collection is so modern and fun!

We want to thank Melissa for the incredible patterns for our Free Projects Program!! You can find the free tutorials for the Butterfly Quilt and The Sky is Falling Table Runner on our website. As well, you can find more from Melissa on her website, blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Etsy. Have a good one, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We are back from a wonderful and restful long weekend. We hope all our fellow Canadians had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend spent with family and friends. So much to be thankful for, including all of you – our fellow Fabric enthusiasts. We are so appreciative of all your sweet contributions and kind words.

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! With the rush of Quilt Market, we have been busy with sewing up new and fun projects for our booth…and we cannot wait to share them with you all!! Today we have decided to feature one of our quilts from our Free Projects Program on our website. Melissa Stramel, of Lilac Lane Patterns, is one of our fantastic quilt designers and she created a stunning, fluttery quilt design for us with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee collection.

Our Butterfly Quilt features the subdued grey and mint patterns in a very unique way – the unexpected square placements give this quilt an intricate look, along with the little butterflies. We love how this quilt turned out, especially with our Mint Condition collection.
