Welcome!

Today is our last day of Our Spring 2014 Collections Launch – we share with you our two final collections. We really hope you have been enjoying all of our Spring 2014 Collections; you can see all the blog posts of each individual collection here, as well as all the designs here. Our next collection we are sharing is…Black & Tan by Camelot Design Studio!

Black & Tan is infused with rich and exuberant neutrals – black, cognac, marigold, and white make this collection minimalistic, yet modern with its chic prints. This collection includes beautiful houndstooth, fretwork, herringbone, and leopard print patterns, keeping Black & Tan classic but trendy. Black & Tan has a very affluent vibe, and makes us want to take a shopping trip to New York City. Off to Barneys and Saks 5th Avenue, please! ;) We can imagine a very sleek Black & Tan clutch, matched with a neutral-printed midi skirt. And how about a quilt or two to decorate a space? Because of its neutral colors and prints, a Black & Tan quilt would be perfect with any décor!

The gorgeous quilt below is our Chevron Quilt by Fabric Confetti! You can get the free pattern for it on our website here. It’s a stunner with Black & Tan!

We really hope you enjoy our Black & Tan collection! Be sure to let us know which if your favorite design. You can check out the free projects with this collection here, here, here, here, and here. One more collection to launch to end our Spring 2014 Collections Week. Stay tuned!

It’s time for another Spring 2014 collection launch!! The next Spring collection we are sharing with you is…Folklore by Heather Rosas!

Heather Rosas’ Folklore is the epitome of festive happiness with its eclectic color palette of poppy red and bright turquoise. The colors together create a unique combination that is both modern and folk-inspire, with the leaves, floral blooms, and bird prints. With a Scandinavian influence, this collection is vivacious and charismatic, reminding us of festival season and our love for the outdoors. This collection reminds us that we need to start planning our Summer garden party! We can imagine a beautiful Farmer’s Market tote (imagine picking up fresh produce & cut flowers with this collection?), a cute summer frock, or some cloth napkins for your Summer gatherings!

This stunner is our Framed Quilt by Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. You can find the free pattern for this quilt here!

Be sure to check out the rest of Folklore by Heather Rosas here! As well, you can find free patterns for project ideas here, here, here, here, here, and here. There’s one last day of our Spring 2014 Collection Launch Week, and two more collections to share. See you tomorrow, fabric enthusiasts! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you have been enjoying our Spring 2014 Collections Launch Week, and have been inspired by all the pretty collections. Which collection is your favorite so far? More to come! As well, we have teamed up with the awesome Marvy®/Uchida for a collaborative chalk marker and chalkboard fabric giveaway! You can enter to win 4 sets of chalk markers and 1 yard of chalkboard fabric by entering HERE. Good Luck to everyone entering!

We have our Thankful Thursday, and today we are featuring one of our wonderful quilt designers…Swirly Girls Design! The creative gal behind Swirly Girls Design is Susan Emory. With Susan’s love for quilting, graphic design background, and artistic knowledge, Swirly Girls Design is a modern, fresh, and beautiful quilt pattern company dedicated to creative designs with clearly written & illustrated instructions. Susan’s patterns are sold worldwide, her quilts have been featured in several well-known magazines, and has hosted many Schoolhouse programs at Quilt Market.

As well, she has provided trunk shows, workshops, and classes for quilt shops and guilds, is a member of the International Association of Creative Arts Professionals, a founding member of Richmond Modern Quilt Guild, and an Aurifil Thread Specialist. And on top of all that, she runs her quilt pattern business seamlessly! What a very busy girl!!

We had the privilege of partnering up with Susan, who created an absolutely stunning quilt design for our Free Projects Program! The quilt she created is called Flying High, a very geometric and modern quilt design – we especially love the ‘flying geese’ element to it! This pattern has worked so wonderfully with all of our collections, such as our NEW Spring 2014 Spectrum Collection (shown below!). You can find the free pattern for Flying High here.

We wanted to take the time to thank Susan for creating such a wonderful quilt design for us. We absolutely adore it, and we had a great time working with you! Be sure to check out Swirly Girls Design on their website for more, as well as their Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Twitter accounts. We hope to work with you again Susan, and are excited for what’s to come! Have a great day everyone – stay tuned for another collection launch today :)

Happy Sewing!

It’s Day FOUR of our Spring 2014 Collections Launch Week, and we are sharing two more beautiful collections with you all! The first one we are sharing with is Cove by Camelot Design Studio.

Cove reminds of a cool, summer breeze by the ocean or lake. The colours of light blue, sand, and taupe are subdued and soft, making the palette very pretty and ethereal. You know that peaceful feeling you get when you are by the ocean, with just the perfect amount of breeze, breathing in the fresh, salty air? That’s what Cove reminds us of. We could take a calm, relaxing vacation…or create some lovely projects – decorated in fun hexagons, fretworks, and ikats – with Cove. We can imagine a delicate shrug, some pillows for a beach-themed room, or a calming quilt for the bedroom. So many possibilities!

This incredible quilt here is Flying High by Swirly Girls Design – you can find the free pattern for it here!

We really hope you enjoy our Cove collection! You can check out the full collection and all of its prettiness here. As well, be sure to check out all our stunning free projects with Cove here, here, here, here, here, and here. One more collection to share today, so stay tuned!
