Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? It’s official Summer now…Happy Summer!! Here’s to yummy BBQs, fun get-togethers, and warmer weather!! :)

It’s time to start off the first week of Summer with out Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Black & Tan Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Black & Tan is an absolutely beautiful, sleek collection of herringbone, houndstooth, chevron and animal print (leopard and zebra…how fun, right?) designs in a mix of black, white, and tan. This collection is strong, modern, and has an affluent appeal…it reminds us of all the business men and women, busily rushing to and from work on Wall Street, dressed in fitted dark suits, mahogany or black shoes, and matching briefcases. And then after work, taking a quick stop…into Barney’s of course!

Black & Tan is a great collection to mix into any current décor with its neutral colors and prints, and would make for the perfect throw quilt. How about a matching foldover clutch and full skirt? Yes, please! :) Be sure to check out the full Black & Tan collection here!

Didit Hediprasetyo’s Spring 2014 Couture Collection is the epitome of 50s-inspired and classic, in both silhouettes and patterns.  The collection features neutral black and brown tones but in some really fun prints – tweed, houndstooth, and leather! We absolutely adore the mix between black and tan, two strong colors that go really well together is paired properly. We love Didit Hediprasetyo’s twist on a retro jumpsuit in houndstooth, especially with the little glints of shimmer and leather detailing. This collection definitely reminds us of our Black & Tank collection, and we especially love this look…and this one! You can check out the full collection HERE! :)

We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday!! Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

As well, we have teamed up with the awesome Marvy®/Uchida for a collaborative chalk marker and chalkboard fabric giveaway!

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 :)
