Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all are having a wonderful day!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are having a lovely day. We forgot to mention that yesterday was National Puppy Day, and wanted to give a shout-out to our favorite little snuggles. We adore you!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program, our Crossroads Quilt by Harding Hill Designs. Crossroads is an intricate, but stunning quilt design that is composed of a multitude of half square triangles (HSTs) sewn together. Together they intertwine to create an absolutely beautiful “cross” design, the centerpiece of the whole quilt. Because of the complexity of Crossroads, it would be a showstopper as a bed quilt or wall design. All the intricate work would be absolutely worth it. Promise. As well, it looks amazing with our vivacious Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection!

This one is for all you enthused quilters!! Want to make your own Crossroads Quilt? Click MORE for the full instructions.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend; the first weekend of Spring! We’ve been hit with a couple of super cold days, but we’re hoping it’s just the last of them.

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Zoey Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, from our Winter 2015 Launch. Zoey is a beautifully feminine collection of soft blue, mint, and peach hues in paisley, floral, and lattice prints. So delicate and pretty, our Zoey Collection would be the perfect compliment to a feminine bedroom or living space. We can imagine some lovely Zoey throw pillows, billowy curtains, and a soft peach-grey quiltto match. As well, have brunch (with mimosas, of course!) with your girlfriends in a Zoey tea dress – and you’ll be extra chic and fabulous!

Dior’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection gives a whole new meaning to “girly with a futuristic edge”. Mixing clean-cut shapes with feminine colors & prints, Dior’s Spring Collection features their classic 50s silhouettes but with a twist – full skirts with capes, pretty florals with cutout tanks, culottes with pastel cocoon jackets. We absolutely adore the juxtaposition of using different style genres! We’re loving this outfit, reminiscent of a print in our Zoey Collection.

You can check out the full Zoey Collection here. We hope we’ve inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday… Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! Happy First Day of Spring!! And…it’s International Day of Happiness! The sun is out and bright, we’re surrounded by a fabric wonderland, and there’s lots of laughter in the office – it’s definitely looking to be an extra fantastic day!

Starting off Spring right with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a stunning quilt by Jenni Berg Sews, featuring our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection. Jenni Berg, of Jenni Berg Sews, is a fiber artist and quilting instructor from Pocatello, Idaho. Jenni is passionate about what she does, adores quality fabrics that are bright and bold, and enjoys interesting techniques. Aside from teaching, Jenni also creates and sells quilts on her Etsy Shop. All of her quilts are fun and happy, and she also does custom orders. Jenni shares her latest works on her Instagram, where we found the beginnings of her Paisley Please Quilt!

We were so in awe with each design she created, 9 in total, so it was just magical seeing the finished quilt come to life! Each “square” is completely different, almost like individual mini quilts, but they work so wonderfully together to create one masterpiece. And the vibrant orange and purple hues in our Paisley Please Collection just pop, and make for a really unique and modern quilt. We could really tell how much love and talent went into this quilt!

Thank you so much, Jenni, for sharing your Paisley Please Quilt with us, and for the fabric love. We are so happy you enjoyed working with our Paisley Please Collection. You can check out more from Jenni Berg on her blog, Facebook Page, Instagram, and Etsy Shop. So much happiness in one post, it’s the perfect way to end the week!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far!! There’s one more day until Spring, and we can’t wait!! Want to know something else that’s sweet? Today is National Chocolate Caramel Day. Um, yes it’s a thing. I mean, chocolate and caramel are delicious on their own; together they’re just magic!

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a project from one of our pattern designs, Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. One of the first projects featured in our Free Projects Program, our Box Trot Quilt by Whirligig Designs continues to be a favorite! The linear, box-y design of our Box Trot Quilt makes it perfect for highlighting many different fabric designs into one quilt. This quilt gives the sewer a lot of creative freedom to match different colors and designs together, to create a beautifully uniform look. We’ve used our Box Trot quilt to highlight different fabric collections, but love the idea of using it as a modern graduating or collage quilt too.

We decided to have our Box Trot Quilt sewn up in one of our Fall 2014 collections, Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. The warm peach, chartreuse, and grey tones work wonderfully together in this block quilt. Chris quilted Box Trot for us, and gosh, it looks so pristine and perfect in person – just as it does in our template (but better!). Chris is an extremely talented quilter; the floral quilting works perfectly with Wildflowers. The result is a gorgeous, clean-looking quilt that would add a great pop of color to any feminine space.

Thank you SO much, Chris, for the incredible quilt pattern and for sewing the physical quilt for us. We absolutely LOVE it! You can find the free PDF printout for the Box Trot Quilt on our website here. As well, be sure to check out more from Chis on her website. And with that, have a terrific day!

Happy Sewing!
