Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Fri-YAY!! So excited for the weekend!!! And do you know what’s even more exciting?! Today is National Doughnut Day!! Oh yes, that is right. We donut mess around ;) Hahaha!

 

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a gorgeous bag made by Becky Proffitt Wright, featuring our London Fog Collection. London Fog is our moody and cool grey/blue collection with a pinch of yellow. This collection reminds us of those temperate, cloudy days better spent indoors with a hot mug of earl grey tea, curled up in bed with a good book. And, if we’re feeling snazzy, maybe a donut too haha. We’d love to be whisked away to London to see the London Eye and Big Ben, but for now, London Fog satisfies that craving.

 

Becky Proffit Wright made a bag for her friend, using a pattern from Noodle Head Patterns. The lovely Super Tote Bag featured two thick straps for easy travel, an outer pocket, pinched sides, and lots of interior space for your goodies. Becky chose to feature our bold London Fog prints, and we think it looks SOOO beautiful!! We are in love with the mix of blue and grey prints, to create such a fun and stylish tote.

Thank you for the fabric love, Becky! We hope that your friend loves her new London Fog bag, because we are obsessed! If you’d like to make your own Super Tote, you can find the pattern here. And with that, donut forget to have a fantastic weekend (yup, we had to ;))!

Today is our What We Love ♥ As it’s been getting nicer outdoors, we’ve been spending a lot more time adventure-ing and enjoying the weather. There is so much around us to be inspired by, from the luscious green trees to the ever-blooming gardens to the pure, fluffy clouds. There is beauty in everything, but sometimes with the fast pace of day-to-day, we can miss them. Find beauty in the irregular, the different, the unique. See what we have been inspired by this week.. ♥

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an amazing day!!

 

For today’s How To’s Day, we are featuring one of our exclusive quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program. The Butterfly Quilt was created by the incredibly talented Melissa Stramel, of Lilac Lane Patterns. Melissa has now expanded her patterns to clothing and accessories, for women and little girls…and their dollies! But, we are obsessed with her Butterfly Quilt, which gives a unique flair to a quilt pattern. The little triangles throughout the pattern look like butterflies, which may seem complicated, but in the end – a super neat effect.

We love a contrast between the butterflies and the background, so that the butterflies really pop! Imagine a white quilt with solid colored butterflies?! That would be so so coooool. We decided to feature the Butterfly Quilt at our booth for Spring Quilt Market, in our popular Botanical room. The quilt displayed as a backdrop to the room (and because of its size, was a real showstopper!). It really made everything come together.

Vicki Reubel of Orchid Owl Quilts did such an incredible job quilting the Butterfly Quilt. We received so many compliments on the design and quilt work – so thank you to both Melissa and Vicki! You both rock!! Now… want to make your own Butterfly Quilt? Click MORE to see the full instructions.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We got a mix of super hot weather on Saturday…but then a dreary, cold day on Sunday – no winning with this season!

 

Kicking off the first day of June with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our Spring 2015 collections, Emilia by the Camelot Design Studio. Emilia is soft and feminine, combining pink, purple, peach, and grey together to create a wonderfully girly palette. The bold, sorbet prints of Emilia are perfect for a little girl’s bedroom or for a true girly-girl’s wardrobe essentials. As well, some of our Emilia prints are also available in our double gauze – perfect for a lightweight scarf!

A coincidence? Emilia Wickstead’s Fall 2015 RTW collection was absolutely stunning, combining soft muted colors with sleek, feminine silhouettes. Every dress had a fantastical flow to it, each something Lauren Bacall would have easily been seen wearing. And let us not forget about the color palette – pastels, such as yellow, blue, and purple were used to give soft textures to each piece. We were especially head over heels for this dress and print, which were very reminiscent of our Emilia collection.

 

We hope you have enjoyed our Moody Monday today! We love finding these little bits of weekly inspiration, and hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Have a marvelous day!

 

 

 

 

Happy Sewing!
