Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful, blissful, and relaxed long weekend filled with love, family time, and chocolate :) As well, Happy Earth Day! We always try to do our part to help out our planet as much as we can, and sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference. For example, using a reusable tote at the grocery store, reusing fabric napkins, and a fun fabric ring stacking toy game are some ways you can “stay green” too! Any of our DIY projects are some easy ways to be crafty and use/reuse some fabric in your stash! :)

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing another of our quilt patterns from one of our quilt designers, Christa Watson of Christa Quilts. The Herringbone Quilt, featured with our Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee Collection, is a very classic and clean design. This quilt would look spectacular with just about any fabric collection, but it features our gray- and yellow-hued collection perfectly by showcasing all the designs in a lovely uniformed manner.

Christa showcased this quilt on her blog, with a couple of really great tips, including how to work with directional fabric! We love this post because it really helps fine-tune the details of a finished quilt’s look. We are also very excited because this will be one of our featured quilts at Spring Quilt Market – we cannot wait to showcase it at the show because we know it will surely be a showstopper!

You can check out the free printable PDF of this quilt pattern on our website, but we are going to break it down for you in this post. We hope you enjoy! Click MORE to see the rest!

Hi everyone!

We have been working with some incredible quilt pattern designers to create exclusive and free fantastic quilt designs for our Free Projects Program. It has been such a wonderful experience being able to partner with such creative minds who have created quilt designs that perfectly encapsulate our fabric collections. Our fabric collections have a modern, fresh, and vibrant feel to them and all of our exclusive modern quilt designs showcase that.

We have so many fantastic free quilt designs on our website currently, but we have decided to post a roundup of our current quilt designs on our blog each month. This way, you can see all the new wonderful quilt designs and talent we are currently working with. You can check out all of our current designs, as well as free projects, here.

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day so far. We woke up today to a Winter Wonderland this morning…yup, lots and lots more snow and cold. It looks like Spring isn’t upon us any time soon. We love our Winters, but we are ready for blooming flowers and green grass! We hope everyone is having a better weather day than us!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are sharing a very talented and special quilt designer…Christa Watson! Christa began her love for quilting in 1994, and never turned back! From there, her love for the hobby translated into teaching quilting, and eventually, a full-time business. Christa now teaches quilting, creates stunning quilt patterns, sells fabric and supplies at ChristaQuilts.com, and runs a quilting blog. Christa’s creativity for quilt designs goes both ways with traditional and more modern esthetics, providing a fantastic range in many different quilt patterns!

Christa’s talent has been published in Quilty Magazine, as well as being the featured cover quilt for the November/December 2013 edition, and works with many fantastic companies and partnerships. Christa is even one of the Modern Quilt Guild’s recent contest’s finalists, with her quilt design Modern X, as the March 2014 member spotlight. Christa’s intuitive eye for color and design is definitely spot-on! Congratulations, Christa!

We have the privilege of partnering with Christa as one of our quilt designers. Christa created a wonderful and modern quilt design for us using our Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee fabric collection. The quilt design is called the Herringbone Quilt, and perfectly highlights the different gray and yellow designs perfectly. The quilt is absolutely amazing – it seriously is a piece of art. Christa will also be sewing up this quilt for us. We will be featuring it at Spring Quilt Market this year in Pittsburgh, and we are very excited about that! It’s going to be a real stunner in person!!

All of our quilt designs are free projects on our website, so you can create your very own Herringbone Quilt by finding the full instructions here. Christa’s instructions are clear and concise, easy to follow, and the end result? A beautiful and modern quilt! Thank you so much, Christa, for creating this lovely quilt design for us. We are very thankful for your partnership, and are very excited for all the future endeavors to come! You can find Christa on her blog, website, and Facebook page.

Happy Sewing!
