Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are having a lovely day so far. Today is Celebration of Life Day so we’re taking some time to write down some of our 2015 goals. We’re going to make this year the best one yet!

Time for our weekly Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our awesome pattern designers, Elizabeth Shepherd of E-Beth Designs. Elizabeth is a of lover all sewing and fabric, just like us, who decided to create an online fabric shop when she became a stay-at-home mommy. Having two degrees in pattern and apparel design, there is no doubt that Elizabeth adores creating projects and patterns, so it came natural for her to add “pattern shop” to her list. “E-Beth Designs” was born; the name influenced by her grandpa’s nickname for her. Her patterns are fun, with a modern flair, for both adults and kids! Lots of colorful and eye-catching patterns to be found at E-Beth Designs!

We found Elizabeth on Instagram, when she had shared a project with us featuring one of our collections. After perusing her website, we knew we had to work with this talented designer. We collaborated with her to create an adorable Little One’s Apron pattern. The apron features pretty ruffles at the bottom and POCKETS!! Yes, we get excited about anything even more when they have pockets haha. We chose to feature it in our Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham Collection. It’s just the perfect apron for your little helper in the kitchen!

You can find the full tutorial for our Little One’s Apron on our website. Thank you so much Elizabeth for the wonderful pattern for our Free Projects Program. We had so much fun collaborating with you, and cannot wait for what’s to come. You can find more from Elizabeth on her website, Etsy Shop, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, . Have an amazing day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. We are hosting another Winsday this week and are giving away our Beyond the Backyard FQB AND 2 Westcott Cutting Tools on our Facebook Page. Be sure to enter if you haven’t yet HERE!

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our incredible pattern designers, Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs. Cheryl Brickey is a chemical engineer/patent agent by day and a quilter by night. Quilting and creating patterns involve a lot of technical skill, which in turn was the perfect hobby for Cheryl who also has a passion for sewing and fabrics. As a creative outlet, Cheryl was able to use her technical writing background to create her own quilting patterns as a pattern designer. Cheryl started her pattern company,  Meadow Mist Designs, to sell her patterns on Etsy. Since then, her success in the quilting world has grown immensely. Her quilts have been featured in quilt magazines, blogs, and her patterns are very popular!

We had the privilege of working with Cheryl as one of our pattern designers for our Free Projects Program. Cheryl created the Cracker Lattice Quilt for us, which is a stunning, geometric quilt design that reflects her technical and engineering background perfectly.  This modern quilt pattern features a lovely double lattice design with triangle and diamond elements and its simplicity works so well with a multitude of colors and fabrics, such as our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection. We absolutely love the versatility of this modern quilt! You can find the pattern for Cracker Lattice here.

We want to thank Cheryl for creating such a stunning quilt design for us, and for the wonderful partnership. We cannot wait for what’s still to come. You can find the free PDF of our Cracker Lattice Quilt on our website. As well, be sure to check out more from Cheryl on her blog, Etsy, and Facebook. Have a great one!

Happy Sewing!

Jessie Kurtz is the incredibly talented pattern designer and founder behind Harding Hill Designs, a pattern company dedicated to creating unique and vibrant project patterns that are easy to follow & fun to make! Her stunning patterns can be found on Etsy and Craftsy, as well as some quilt shops!

We had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Jessie of Harding Hill Designs to create a quilt design for our Free Projects Program! Jessie created this beautiful and modern digital quilt pattern with our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk from Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection called Crossroads. We adore the simplicity of the over look, with the cross pattern, and the intricate triangle detailing within the cross. It makes for a very interesting and eye-catching quilt, and would be beautiful as wall décor! You can download the free PDF for the Crossroads Quilt on our website HERE! :)

Let’s begin the new season with our Thankful Thursday . We have been partnering with many incredibly talented quilt designers to create exclusive quilt designs for our Free Projects Program!

One quilt designer we had the privilege to partner with is Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs, so today we are taking time to thank the lovely Chris!

Chris Hoover started quilting over 24 years ago, a hobby that very quickly became a new passion. A mix of both traditional and more modern quilt designs, Chris’ designs are very much influenced by the fabric collections she uses, and sees inspiration for her quilt designs from architecture and nature! Chris started Whirligig Designs about 10 years ago when she started quilt designing, a company that has quickly gained success for her trustworthy, concise, and wonderful quilt patterns.

We had the privilege of partnering with Whirligig Designs, and Chris designed two stunning quilts for us. The first is Framed using our Nightfall Collection, a simple yet eclectic quilt design that perfectly showcases our black and gold collection – soso beautiful!!

The second is Box Trot using our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection. This quilt design is a very clean-looking quilt with an almost gradation effect of color – very modern and lovely!

We adore Chris’ quilt design and style, and absolutely love the quilt designs she created for us – Thank you so much, Chris!! We are very thankful for your partnership, and are very excited for all the future endeavors to come! You can find Chris Hoover’s patterns and more on her website. Have a lovely day!
