Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all are feeling fine and fantastic, but if not, it’s just about the weekend! And that’s something to celebrate!! I think there may even be some gelato in the office today. Hmm… ;)

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a super sweet ruffled party dress, featuring our Scented collection, from Sophia Gracie Couture. Sophia Gracie Couture is an Etsy Shop of the most beautiful of handmade, girl and boy garments. Each design is custom and created by Lee, in her home’s sewing studio in the North of Ireland. She is often inspired by her own daughter, Sophia, of dresses and outfits she would love most. Sophia is also her mama’s little model – how cute!  Lee notes, “I take great pleasure in producing garments that are one of a kind, and made with great care and attention to detail, so that each garment is durable and also in some cases adjustable!”.

Lee designed the sweetest (pun intended! ;)) of little girl dresses, her Ruffle Party Dress, that is perfect for a tea party or day in the park. The dress features cap sleeves, four frills alternating between print & solid color fabric, and a button & loop back closure. She chose the strawberry print of our Scented collection, which her daughter says smells like sweeties! Which little girl wouldn’t want to twirl around in a pretty dress, smelling as sweet as they look! :) The dress can also be custom ordered in our other Scented collections, so if your little one prefers apple, grape, or watermelon – there’s a dress for her too!

Thank you, Lee, for the fabric love and for sharing your dress with us on Instagram. We are so happy you love our Scented as much as we do. And, it seriously is such a sweeeet dress!! If you create a project using our fabric collections, we’d love to see! You can send your photos to us or tag us on Instagram. Have an awesome weeeekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Sharing our What We Love for this week ♥ Feeling an ocean-inspired vibe in the office lately, maybe because it has been pretty rainy and gloomy… Sea blues and sunny yellows have been a color theme on our Pinterest board this week, from stunning Elysian blue & white interior spaces to an adorable “lemon riding a bicycle” print. Because, I mean, too cute right?! See what else we have been inspired by this week… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone’s day is going awesome-ly!! :)

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our awesome quilt designers who recently launched a new quilting book. Jessie Kurtz of Harding Hill Designs, who designed our beautiful Crossroads Quilt, released her new book at Spring Quilt Market: One Block Remix – 10 Fresh Quilts from One Traditional Block.

The book, available in her Etsy Shop, features quilts that use a traditional 2-1/2″ strip block, but modernized into fun and different quilts, ranging from crib-sized to king. Such a brilliant concept, using the same block to make unique quilts. We were happy to send Jessie some fabric for her quilts, and love how they turned out!

The first is her Downtown Criss Cross Quilt, which features our Rise & Shine Collection. We love how the blues and yellows pop against the solid black! The second quilt featuring Camelot Fabrics is her Uptown Turnaround Quilt, with Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Who knew equilateral triangles could be so fun!!

Congratulations on the book launch, Jessie! We are so glad to be a part of it. All of the quilt designs are just stunning!!  You can find Jessie’s book on her Etsy Shop, as well as lots more from her on her blog, Facebook, and Instagram. Have a fabulous rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. It’s the last day to enter our special, “Jackie McFee’s Website Got a Makeover” Giveaway…so head on over to her Instagram to win a Neon & On FQB!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a beautiful crossbody tutorial: our Polygon Bag by Made by Marion. Our Polygon Bag is a clean, two-toned foldover design that features a long body strap, grommet details, and an interior zipper to hold your essentials. The straps can easily be removed, so it can also be used as a “night on the town” clutch. Its simple and lightweight design will make it your new, throw-on-and-go bag. We chose to use two mustard print from our Heirloom collection for the bag’s shell, which gave the Polygon bag a classic and rich feel!

A gorgeous crossbody bag that is perfect for yourself, and as gifts! Want to make your very own Polygon Bag? Click MORE to see the full tutorial.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Woke up to quite the dreary and wet morning, but it’s National Best Friends Day! So call all of your best girlies to let them know just how much they mean to you. Cause let’s face it, our lives would definitely not be as much fun without them!

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our Spring 2015 collections, Make a Wish by Alisse Courter. Make a Wish is a very pretty and ethereal collection of fluttery feathers and blossoms in lavender, mint, gray, and grapefruit hues. It reminds us of running through a field of beautiful blooms, barefoot and wearing a lightweight frock, cascaded by the warm sunrise. This dreamy collection is also available in our double gauze, a lightweight fabric perfect for swaddle blankets and summery scarves.

Let’s get inspired by the runway! Valentino’s Spring Couture Collection was dreamy and soft, with lots of billowy fabrics and flowing dresses. Feminine florals and jewels adorn each dress, complete with ethereal capes and princess sleeves. We can imagine all of these dresses in a princesses wardrobe, all ready to picked for the next affair. One dress that especially caught our eyes was this dress, that was reminiscent of our Make a Wish Collection. Such a stunning collection!

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what trends you have been loving for the season. Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!
