Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! How is everyone doing? It’s just about the weekend, the last weekend of Summer. And it’s supposed to be a gorgeous one here, so we’re excited to blissfully enjoy it!

Ending a wonderful week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing an absolutely gorgeous clambake quilt by Lorrie of SewMod. Lorrie used a Clambake pattern from Crazy Old Ladies Quilts, which is an awesome fat quarter-friendly quilt design. This clambake quilt has a very pretty scalloped-like design, which with our Paradise Collection, gives the quilt a feminine and dainty feel.

A few words from Lorrie:

“The Paradise Clambake quilt will be making it’s first appearance this weekend at my first fall quilt show. I’m expecting the kits to go quickly since it turned out so beautiful. I can’t wait to see my customers reactions. I know there will be some oohs & ahhs! The quilt measures a good throw size at approx. 54″ x 60″ and was quilted by a local long-arm quilter here in Chicagoland, Suzette Fisher.”

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Lorrie!! Your quilt is sososososo gorgeous, and we hope your customers love it as much as we do (oh we know they will ;))! Be sure to check out more from Lorrie on her blog and Instagram. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an awesome day :) It’s the last day of Summer… but it’s also National Ice Cream Cone Day. Oh my!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our free quilt patterns, our Deco Ritz Quilt by The Fat Quarter Gypsy. Deco Ritz is just as the name suggests – a super unique and glam quilt pattern that would fit very well in the 1920s, with its graphic and angular shapes. We first introduced Deco Ritz with our Nightfall collection, which the quilt pattern was inspired by, but we adore it with our other collections as well! With our Fresh Solids, this quilt pattern has a fresh and pop art-like feel. Love!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend :)

Starting off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Nordic by Camelot Design Studio collection. Our Nordic collection is inspired by the clean and sharp prints of Scandinavian style, including the contrasting black and white colors (with a hint of pink!). The ikat, swiss cross, and diamond prints add a cool feel to an otherwise simple color palette.

We thought it would be fun to put a spin on our Moody Monday, and inspire with home decor. We found this awesome DIY on the Brit+Co website, sharing a fun way to spruce up a plain, white duvet. Using black fabric paint and a cross box, they stamped crosses all along the top of the duvet which created a cool, graphic look. Simplicity of color does not mean simplicity in look – playing with different textures and patterns create depth in an interior space, which they definitely have done in their bed styling! And of course, this DIY gave us a Nordic feel – which we love – and just had to share!

We hope we have inspired you today! And we hope you have enjoyed the different take on our Moody Monday. We’d love to know what you think! Have a lovely day!

Happy Sewing!
