Welcome!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love #40 ♥ Spring is tomorrow, and we’ve been inspired by everything fresh and calm on Pinterest. Pastel colors, pretty blooms, and creative people were major inspirations for us this week, online and in the office. New season, new beginnings – we’re inspired to start being more creative in our space. Here’s what we’ve been loving this week…

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are feeling great today. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Also, it’s the last day to enter our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway, so be sure to check it out here if you haven’t yet.

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our tutorial for our Fringed Wall Quilt by Made by Marion – an absolutely stunning quilt that is a work of art. We’ve used different fabric patterns in fun, geometric alignments to create an ornate and modern design, and the fringe adds that extra bit of oomph. Our fringed wall quilt is definitely nicely sized, and therefore would be a showstopper piece for that blank wall space “you don’t really know what to do with yet” ;)

It would also look fantastic above a bed or chest of drawers – wall decor at its finest! We’ve featured our fringed wall quilt with our Botanical Collection, and adore how rich and earthy the designs look together in the quilt.

Oh, isn’t it just beautiful? We’re obsessed!! Want to make your own Fringed Wall Quilt? Click MORE to see the full tutorial.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend. It snowed here this weekend, so that was sort of a bittersweet moment. Spring is this Friday, but we’re still crossing our fingers! We’re also hosting our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway this week, so be sure to enter here.

Time for our Moody Monday! This week, we are featuring our Paradise by Alisse Courter for Camelot Fabrics Collection. Paradise is our festive collection of gorgeous florals, delicate leaves, and medallions in a fun orange, bright pink, and purple color combination. Rich, playful, and vivacious in mood, our Paradise Collection would look beautiful in a colorful, girl’s bedroom or playful skirt. Twirling around in all these wondrous colors has us longing for those hot, sunny “paradise” days.

Louis Vuitton’s 2013 Fall/Winter RTW Collection was broody and mysterious, with its warm earth tones in luxurious fabrics, such as velvet, sateen, lace, and animal skin. Vuitton’s collection reminds us of an old black-and-white film, with the cropped black hair and dark red lips, in hollywood-esque silhouettes. We loved the fun, added textures of ostrich feathers, fur, and tweed – a mix of a lot, but looks fantastic together. We especially adored the ditsy, floral prints which were reminiscent of our Paradise Collection. You can check out the full collection from the show here.

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what prints and colors you’re excited by for Spring. Have an awesome day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope you all had an awesome week!! Today is Friday the 13th…ooh! Is anyone superstitious or have any ‘freaky Friday” stories to share? As for something not so scary, we’re hosting our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page! Be sure to head on over there to enter! :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some incredibly beautiful quilts created by the talented Sharon Challenger, of ShaShaLaRue Quilts. ShaShaLaRue Quilts is Sharon’s online Etsy Shop, a place where she shares her latest quilt creations, all handmade – and made with love. Sharon’s quilt esthetic is modern and colorful, and she shares a multitude of different quilt styles for boys and girls, babies and toddlers. She mentions that quilts can be used for so many things – as playmats, for tummy time, for a picnic at the park, on the beach, for cuddling with on the sofa, or when you need a hug – and we couldn’t agree more. There’s nothing more comforting than snuggling up with a cozy quilt – and some pretty fabric!

Sharon chose our Rise & Shine Collection to create some amazing quilts for her shop. We found her through Instagram, and just had to share! The first is her geometric Triangle Quilt – our yellow, turquoise, and grey designs working perfectly together in the interchanging triangles pattern. Soso pretty and would make for the perfect gift for a mama-to-be!

Sharon also created a quilt designed by Andrea Johnson, from the book “Modern Designs for Classic Quilts”, featuring Rise & Shine. Loving how the quilt still looks fresh and light, perfect for a nursery or little nugget’s room! Her quilts have a modern and crisp look, so they are also perfect for a home that is more contemporary or current in esthetic.

We are so happy that you love our Rise & Shine Collection, Sharon. Thank you for the fabric love, and for sharing them with us on Instagram. Be sure to check out more from Sharon at her Etsy Shop // ShaShaLaRue Quilts, on Facebook, and on Instagram. And with that…another week has come and gone! Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
