Welcome!

Time for this week’s What We Love #13!! As always, we have been pinning what we love most on our Pinterest Boards. From creative DIY projects to delicious food to just cuteness, we’ve probably pinned it (haha). This week, we have been inspired by so many things – Fall is quickly approaching us, and we’ve been noticing autumn favorites showing up (ie. Starbucks’ PSL? Um, yum!). Not that we’re over Summer, we definitely could use another month of hot weather, but we’re also excited for all things that Fall will bring.

Our What We Love today is a mix of everything, sort of encapsulating Dr. Suess’ quote “we’re all a little weird…”. We definitely concur; where’s the fun if there is no weirdness? This week, we inspire you to embrace your weirdness…because being weird and embracing weirdness is how we should be ♥

Juan: Captain America
Marion: Dr. Suess’ Quote
Vanessa: Stretching Kitties
Shannen: White and Bronze Faux Deer Head
Valeria: Geek Cat

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s What We Love. Embrace your weirdness! Remember, we are always pinning away on our Pinterest Board, so be sure to check out our boards for even more daily inspiration ♥

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day so far. We cannot believe that we are in the last few days of August, but are excited for the long weekend.

For this week’s Thankful Thursday, we are featuring one of newest, favourite sewing magazines: Love Patchwork & Quilting. Love Patchwork & Quilting is a modern quilting magazine based in the UK dedicated to bringing us fresh, inspiring, and bold projects. They’re a relatively new magazine (they are on their 11th edition), but have quickly become number one in the UK – with good reason! They love to showcase new, fresh fabric collections and collaborate with awesome project designers.

As you turn to each page, there’s always something to catches your eye and inspire you. Their pages are filled with beautiful images, helpful tips & tricks, inspiring projects and fabric collections. There’s something for everyone, from quilting projects to smaller project ideas; even those who are intimidated by sewing will feel encouraged. As well, each issue features a free, mini project to follow along to, to make your very own craft. You can’t help but get inspired and happy flipping through an issue of Love Patchwork & Quilting, and their editor Jenny Fox-Proverbs definitely makes that happen!

We were so thrilled when we saw that our Love Letters by Jane Farnham Collection was featured in their latest edition, in their Love Life section, which is dedicated to celebrating the fabric of life. If you flip to page 13, you’ll see a very familiar collection – Love Letters! There’s a fantastic writeup on the collection, and we are so happy that it was chosen as one of their favorites this month. Our Love Letters Collection embodies cherishing your loved ones, and embracing your time with them, so we definitely think it fits perfectly with the theme.

We want to say a big thank you to Jenny and Love Patchwork & Quilting for featuring our Love Letters by Jane Farnham Collection. Love Patchwork & Quilting is a stunning magazine, so we definitely feel honored to be included. We absolutely adore Jane and her beautiful designs, and are so happy to call her one of our own, so it’s so wonderful to see the amazing response.

You can check out more from Love Patchwork & Quilting on their website, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. We can’t wait to see what’s next! Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Petite Plume Giveaway. Be sure to enter if you haven’t yet, so you could get your hands on this gorgeous fabric collection. You can enter HERE.

Time to share another awesome project with you all! For this week’s How To’s Day, we are featuring our effortlessly cozy Simple Stripes Baby Blanket! Our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket is the perfect project for those who may be intimidated by quilting because the result is a beautiful patchwork design. This baby blanket is modern and chic with its, as the name suggests, simple striped pattern – you can choose to create a fun ombre effect with bold solids or perhaps tell a story using some novelty fabrics…the possibilities are infinite.

We chose to use our Playground Collection, which adds a whimsical and “playful” feel to the blanket. With its fun numbers, balloons, and playground attractions, this Playground baby blanket is perfect for any little nugget who loves adventure! :)

We are sure you will have so much fun making our Simple Stripes Baby Blanket, you’ll want to make one (or more!) for all the little kiddies (…and future little kiddies!) in your life. Click MORE to see the full tutorial!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone work on any fun crafting or quilting projects this weekend? We’d love to know! We are also giving away a Petite Plume FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter if you haven’t. Click HERE to enter!!

The official, last Monday of August!! Today we are sharing our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection for this week’s Moody Monday. It’s a Bird’s Life brings you the majestic-ness of a beautiful and temperate field of fresh blooms. The sounds of the birds happily chirping, the smell of the luscious florals, and the feeling of the crisp air – that is all the things that It’s a Bird’s Life reminds us of. This collection is a mix of warm grey, coral, yellow, and mint hues in whimsical designs of birds, birdhouses, flowers, and geometric patterns. We could imagine a darling little girl’s half-circle skirt or little tot’s tote in this collection. And, how about a floral & bird infused quilt or two for your bedroom or living room? LOVE! You can check out the full collection HERE.

One collection that reminds us of the prettiness of our It’s a Bird’s Life is that of Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2014 RTW Collection. Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2014 Collection  encapsulates a very whimsical, nature-inspired feel to it with floral vines decorating the clothing pieces and printed scenes from Greece. Gabbana describes the collection as “an unconscious dream”, as the clothing have a contrasting feel of real and what is irrational, which can only be found in dreams. We get that sense of fantasy and imagination in this collection, which inspired us with this week’s Moody Monday for It’s a Bird’s Life. You can check out the full collection for Dolce & Gabbana‘s Spring 2014 collection HERE.

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! Let us know what you favorite design is in our It’s a Bird’s Life Collection. Have a good one!

Happy Sewing!
