Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week – but yes, we’re so are so glad it’s the weekend!!

We are very excited to be sharing this week’s Fan Friday project…because it’s one of our own, exclusive tutorials: our Quilted Bucket Bag! Jennifer Trumbo saw the tutorial on our blog, and fell in love. She created our bucket bag for her #coloroftheyearswap partner, and loved it SO much, that she made one for herself with the same fabrics. She didn’t have any trouble with our tutorial, and mentioned that our pattern was perfect (aw, shucks!) and that the bag had plenty of room. Her finished bag looks fantastic, and we adore the fun prints she chose.

Thank you so much, Jen, for the project love! You don’t know how excited we were when we saw your bag – SO glad you had fun with the project!! Hope your new bag has many awesome adventures with you! You can find the free tutorial for our Quilted Bucket Bag on our website. And with that, have a lovely weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Time for our What We Love #60 ♥ This week, we have very much been inspired by travel, culture, and wonders. Such as the gorgeous city of Bilbao (where one of our designers, Val, had the pleasure of visiting!) to the Feria de Las Flores – a floral festival in Colombia, there is an abundance of culture and brilliance to be explored around us. See what else we have been loving this week… ♥

Vanessa: “We’re all a little Weird” Print
Ciana: Quartz on Arsenopyrite | Portugal
Shannen: Henna
Valeria: Bilbao, Spain
Sara: Sacred Geometry; from “A Handbook of Ornament”
Roxanne: Iridescent Rainbow Mermaid Earrings
Juan: Feria de Las Flores: Medellin Colombia Flower Festival
Marion: “Brave as a Mouse” Print

Hope you feel inspired today! We’d love to know what has been inspiring you. Sometimes we forget to tell our favorite people how much they mean to us, so today, tell those favorite people how dearly you love them. They’ll feel the love, and so will you ♥ 

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are have a fabulous day. It’s a little chilly here today, but the sun is out and bright!

Sharing our Thankful Thursday for this week! Today we are featuring one of our fellow creatives, Silhouette America. Silhouette America is the makers of one of the crafting industry’s favorite electronic cutting system. They offer a multitude of different machines for personal preference and usage, as well as thousands of electronic designs  to choose from. Crafting, scrapbooking, and creating has never so easy – or so fun! 

As well, they work with some lovely sewing people who create unique projects for their blog. We sent them some of our felt for projects, and were super excited when we saw these. Martha, from the blog The Art in Martha, designed these adorable Build-a-Monster Felt Puppets with our hard felt and her Silhouette machine. It’s a friendly craft project to do with kids, as they can have fun choosing which “eyes”, “nose”, and “mouth” they want. As fun and easy as that, you’ll now have your happy felt monster puppets to play with!

Thank you so much, Silhouette America and Martha, for the super awesome project. We’re so glad you enjoyed creating with our felt! You can find the full tutorial for Martha’s felt puppets on the Silhouette America blog. Have a grrrrrreat day! ;)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day so far. If there’s a food holiday, you know we’re going to share about it. Today happens to be National Chocolate Chip Day. Well I guess we’ll have to eat some chocolate chip cookies then, in doing our part to celebrate the day ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a beautiful tutorial for our Box Trot Quilt, designed by the incredibly talented Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. The box-like pieces in our Box Trot Quilt are perfect for highlighting a multitude of different fabric patterns, overall giving a very fun and whimsical look. Each “box” is bordered, which we chose to keep neutral and uniform with the background in the quilt below. We chose to feature our Beach House by Jack!e McFee collection, mixing the coral and tide colorways for a relaxing ocean feel. We love how the bright colors pop against the white background; such a modern and feminine quilt!
