Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an amazing day!!

For today’s How To’s Day, we are featuring one of our exclusive quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program. The Butterfly Quilt was created by the incredibly talented Melissa Stramel, of Lilac Lane Patterns. Melissa has now expanded her patterns to clothing and accessories, for women and little girls…and their dollies! But, we are obsessed with her Butterfly Quilt, which gives a unique flair to a quilt pattern. The little triangles throughout the pattern look like butterflies, which may seem complicated, but in the end – a super neat effect.

We love a contrast between the butterflies and the background, so that the butterflies really pop! Imagine a white quilt with solid colored butterflies?! That would be so so coooool. We decided to feature the Butterfly Quilt at our booth for Spring Quilt Market, in our popular Botanical room. The quilt displayed as a backdrop to the room (and because of its size, was a real showstopper!). It really made everything come together.

Vicki Reubel of Orchid Owl Quilts did such an incredible job quilting the Butterfly Quilt. We received so many compliments on the design and quilt work – so thank you to both Melissa and Vicki! You both rock!! Now… want to make your own Butterfly Quilt? Click MORE to see the full instructions.

It’s How To’s Day time! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful free project quilt patterns by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa created a couple of projects for us, one being her Hang Time Quilt. Hang Time is a very cool looking quilt, with 16 blocks together to create a window-like effect. If you choose one colour for the lattice design, it looks almost like “stained glass”. Sometimes with an intricate-looking design, less is more when it comes to patterns…so we love the look of Hang Time with our Fresh Solids. The bright colours gives the right amount of oomph to the quilt, and would look incredible on top of a bed or on a wall. It’s pretty much art! You can also find the full pdf printout here.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are having a lovely day. We forgot to mention that yesterday was National Puppy Day, and wanted to give a shout-out to our favorite little snuggles. We adore you!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program, our Crossroads Quilt by Harding Hill Designs. Crossroads is an intricate, but stunning quilt design that is composed of a multitude of half square triangles (HSTs) sewn together. Together they intertwine to create an absolutely beautiful “cross” design, the centerpiece of the whole quilt. Because of the complexity of Crossroads, it would be a showstopper as a bed quilt or wall design. All the intricate work would be absolutely worth it. Promise. As well, it looks amazing with our vivacious Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection!

This one is for all you enthused quilters!! Want to make your own Crossroads Quilt? Click MORE for the full instructions.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are feeling great today. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Also, it’s the last day to enter our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway, so be sure to check it out here if you haven’t yet.

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our tutorial for our Fringed Wall Quilt by Made by Marion – an absolutely stunning quilt that is a work of art. We’ve used different fabric patterns in fun, geometric alignments to create an ornate and modern design, and the fringe adds that extra bit of oomph. Our fringed wall quilt is definitely nicely sized, and therefore would be a showstopper piece for that blank wall space “you don’t really know what to do with yet” ;)

It would also look fantastic above a bed or chest of drawers – wall decor at its finest! We’ve featured our fringed wall quilt with our Botanical Collection, and adore how rich and earthy the designs look together in the quilt.

Oh, isn’t it just beautiful? We’re obsessed!! Want to make your own Fringed Wall Quilt? Click MORE to see the full tutorial.

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing an amazing pillow tutorial from one of our exclusive designers, Nikki Maroon of The Girl Who Quilts. She created her Diamond Cut Pillow for our Free Projects Program, and we love it! It’s pretty simple in design, but creates a fantastic and geometric look that would go well with every type of interior, from shabby chic to more modern. The diamond “cut” allows for you to choose different fabric prints with a similar color scheme, so it looks different and unique. Such a great pillow tutorial to play around with!

We featured our example with our Coraline Collection, a fresh and girly collection of coral and navy. Want to make your own Diamond Cut Pillows? Click MORE for the full tutorial.
