Welcome!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love #75 ♥ How did the holiday season catch up with us so soon? As we step outside now, the streets are decked in glitter and sparkle – creating a magical scene against the onyx sky. We can’t help by getting to the holiday spirit, even though it isn’t quite December yet. But, it never is too early to listen to holiday music or bake gingerbread people… at least we don’t think so ;) See what we have been loving this week… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We haven’t updated you all on any national food days in a while… so Happy National Baklava Day! ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Framed Quilt, designed by Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. Framed is a fun and modern quilt design, consisting of connected “frames” in vertical lines. This quilt does not have a border, so it has a cool look of the frame repetitions continuing off the quilt. You can have a lot of creative fun with this one. We chose to feature our sunset-inspired Fresh Solid colors, with a line of Wildberry, Geranium, Grapefruit, and Chamomile. To add a pop, we chose our Tide and Amethyst colors for the background. We love how our Solids Framed quilt looks like modern art!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! In honor of World Kindness Day, we just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who takes the time to visit our lil ol’ blog each day. We appreciate you so much!

Ending the week with our Fan Friday! Today’s feature is an adorable baby set by DolceVera with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. Karen What a Gem is a boho-inspired collection of arrows, geometric shapes, and dreamy dream-catchers. Karen, creator behind DolceVera, was inspired to start her little shop after having her daughter – Vera. Wanting to dress her up in all the pretty things she decided to start sewing, with the help of her mom, and caught the sewing bug. Her hobby eventually turned into a business (name inspired by her daughter!), where she creates sweet baby shoes and other baby items – all handmade with passion & love.

One little set that caught our eye is this What a Gem baby set she sent to a customer. It features a pair of adorable soft sole baby shoes and a matching burp cloth. She chose a pink print from our What a Gem collection, and we adore how sweet it looks as baby attire. Those shoes!! 

We hope the lucky little girl enjoys her new shoes and blankie!! Thank you so much, Karen, for the fabric love. For more from Karen, be sure to check out her Etsy Shop and Instagram. And with that, hope you all have a fun weekend!

Happy Sewing!
