Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend, and a wonderful Father’s Day! We are hosting our Facebook Neon & On FQ Bundle Giveaway for a couple more days…so be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet! :)

It’s time to start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection!! Singin’ the Blues, as the name suggests, is a spectacular collection encompassing different shades of blue. The vibrant mix of cobalt blue, topaz, and mint colors reminds us of the ocean…we could definitely imagine a beach vacation somewhere near the Mediterranean Sea with these blue hues, and the stunning chevron, dot, medallion, and lattice designs. But if you can’t whisk yourself away to a beach vacation right now, you can create that same feel with a Mediterranean-inspired room. Imagine ocean-inspired curtains, elegant chevron pillows, and a matching modern, blue-hued quilt! Who really needs a getaway now…right? :) See the full collection here!

We love getting inspired by the runway trends for the upcoming season! One show that particularly is reminiscent of our Singin’ the Blues Collection is that of Chloe‘s Spring RTW line. The whole Chloe collection reminds us of a tropical, Mediterranean vacation…and the essentials you’d want to pack! Think loose, but still sleek, silhouettes in earthy tones, white, and blues in beautiful draping and flowy materials. So so pretty!

We especially adore this one here, as well as this one, which reminds us of Singin’ the Blues in both color palette and design. You can check out the full Chloe RTW Spring 2014 collection here!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! Let us know what some of your favorite Spring/Summer 2014 trends are. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing!

Happy Father’s Day to our incredible, inspiring, and loving dads!! We LOVE You!! <3

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! It’s rainy and gloomy here on this Friday the 13th. Let’s hope that’s the only dreary thing about today. It’s also Sewing Machine Day – how neat! Anyone planning to sew this weekend? :) We’re also hosting a Neon & On FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Be sure to enter HERE!

A couple of weeks ago, we were perusing George Takei’s Facebook Page (as we do, he always posts the best memes!)…and we stumbled upon a post with our Star Trek fabric. George Takei posted OUR Star Trek fabric. Needless to say, it took us a while to let that sink in. And once it did, and we did our happy dance, we excitedly read through some of the comments on the post. We were amazed!! There were SO many wonderful Star Trek and sewing enthusiasts who posted their projects using that exact Star Trek fabric design! Seeing all the incredible projects with our designs made our whole year!! Star Trek has one of the most loyal fan bases, and it has been so fun getting to be a small part of it.

We thought it would be fun to share with you all today some of the amazing, Star Trek projects that were linked with the post. We contacted them, and they all graciously sent photos and more information on their projects.

Heather created this awesome Laptop bag with our Star Trek fabrics, which includes a supportive crossbody strap and room enough for a large laptop as it measures 18″ x 15″ x 4″. Love it!

We adore this gorgeous Star Trek crossbody bag by Pannay! This crossbody is perfect for students with lots of books or a laptop to carry, but was inspired to entice her husband to carry the diaper bag (hehe clever!). Pannay also sells fun bag patterns at her Etsy Shop, and has a blog. Be sure to check her out for more!

We love a great quilt, and this one surely catches our eye! Cathy used our Star Trek fabric to create this awesome quilt for her friends. It’s colorful, fun, and bright and we adore how she highlights the characters well. Great job, Cathy!

A BIG thank you to Heather, Pannay, and Cathy for sharing their Star Trek projects with us!! :) We also want to thank George Takei for sharing about our Star Trek fabric!! Still such a surreal moment for us here. We hope everyone has a great Father’s Day weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day! We’ve posted some fun features on the blog today – What We Love #2 and a Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Guide – be sure to check them out!! We are also hosting a Neon & On FQ Bundle Facebook Giveaway this week. Lots of exciting stuff! :)

It’s also time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a beautiful magazine, Sewing World Magazine, who was so kind to feature us in their latest June 2014 issue. Sewing World Magazine is a monthly magazine dedicated to contemporary projects (quilts, bags, clothing, and more!), delicious fabrics, and sewing techniques & interviews. This modern magazine is bright, fun, and fresh…and such a delight to flip through. Their editor, Julie Briggs, has such a great eye for all things pretty! In their latest June issue, they have included some Summer-inspired project ideas (their cover page pillow is a stunner!) and a 16 page special on kids’ makes…and so much more! We definitely recommend this gorgeous, and equally informative, magazine to all our fellow modern, sewing enthusiasts!

Our Birds of a Feather by Allison Cole Collection was featured as the monthly “The Fabric Stash“! This regular, monthly feature is gorgeous and inspiring…just look at all those vivid colors! Who would not be inspired? “The Fabric Stash” is such a brilliant idea, and we are so honored to have been chosen for this month. They included a little write up on Allison, as well as the collection images, and stockist details. So so fun!

Be sure to check out the Sewing World Magazine’s website to find out how to get your hands on their latest issue, and for even more! You can also check them out on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. They have lots of beautiful projects and inspiring “eye candy”! Thank you so much for featuring our fabrics, Sewing World; the spread is just so stunning! Have a great day everyone :)

Happy Sewing!
