Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a good day so far. We cannot believe that there are 48 days until Christmas!! So excited for everything – the pretty decorations, the shopping, the gift wrapping, the food. Ah, we can’t wait! :)

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are thanking one of our incredible pattern designers. Nikki Maroon is the crafty gal behind the blog, The Girl Who Quilts, a name that perfectly embodies who she is. The Girl Who Quilts is all about Nikki’s quilting adventures, from her latest quilt creations to her tutorials to her custom work. Nikki creates really unique and pretty pieces, and shares her story behind each design in her posts. As well, Nikki has an Etsy Shop where she makes and sells her own patterns!

We found Nikki’s blog and absolutely fell in love her design style and patterns! Scrolling through her blog, our eyes were quickly filled with lots pretty quilts and incredible embroidery work. We are so happy that we got the chance to work with Nikki on a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Nikki has created three custom projects for us, the first is her Octagon Pillow which is very geometrically pleasing and showcases a collection wonderfully, such as our Mixology prints.

As well, she created her Diamond Cut Pillow for us which has a lovely “window”-like effect, which a diamond middle. We love it with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection. Finally, her Diamonds Quilt is like the quilt version of the Diamond Cut Pillow and we are loving the gradient effect it has with our Spectrum Collection.

We want to thank Nikki for the amazing partnership and the incredible projects! We are so honored to have worked with you thus far, and cannot wait for what is to come. You can check out all of Nikki’s projects on our website! As well, be sure to check out more from Nikki at her blog, Etsy Shop, Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!! :)

Fall truly is a magical season; lots of family time, cuddling, and yummy food!! A huge thank you to Westcott for providing such awesome prizes for our Winsday. And thank you to everyone who participated. And now, the winner of this week’s Winsday is…

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Beyond the Backyard x Westcott Giveaway, so if you haven’t entered yet, be sure to! We are giving away a Beyond the Backyard FQ bundle and two Westcott cutting tools.

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Tablet Case Tutorial from Hypernoodle, a case that is equally protective and stylish for your tablet. Long gone are the days of those industrial-looking and plain cases that, yes, are functional…but really not that pretty to look at. We’ve solved that problem with our fabric case so that now you’ll want to carry your tablet with you everywhere! The slight padding adds support, and the size will fit a standard tablet. As well, the snap closure makes it easy for you to use your tablet and then store it back.

We used our Iconic by Camelot Design Studio Collection to feature our tablet case, which makes it very modern and chic. The pink and navy pairing of our case is super pretty and elegant, and makes for the perfect companion for the stylish technologist-a on the go!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and an awesome Halloween! There’s still time to enter our Beyond the Backyard x Westcott Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. Winner will be announced on Wednesday!

It’s time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our newest collections from our Fall 2014 Launch, Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee for Camelot Fabrics. This collection is just as the name suggests, full of pretty metallic prints and designs. Heavy Metal includes a beautiful mix of silver and gold geometrics including chevrons, hexagonal prints, stars, dots, and animal prints. This metallic-infused collection would bring some pizzazz to any outfit, whether as a shift dress or a foldover clutch. As well, how about a glam quilt? We love the idea of a metallic quilt, perfect for a posh bed quilt or as wall decor.

Samuji‘s Spring RTW 2015 Collection brought about lots of bold colors and prints in fun Spring and Summer-inspired cuts. Intense patterns were subdued with more feminine silhouettes, neutral colors, and an Asian influence. We especially adored the use of metallics in his collection, which were reminiscent of our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee collection. We love this simple, but classic shift dress done in a metallic chevron print. You can see the rest of Samuji’s collection here. Such a majestic, but feminine collection.

We hope you have been inspired by this week’s Moody Monday! Be sure to check out the rest of our Heavy Metal collection, and all the associated free projects, on our website. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
