Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day!! Today is National Milk Chocolate Day. Milk chocolate is delicious in pretty much any form – milk chocolate bars, milk chocolate cake, milk chocolate ice cream…and the dreamy list goes on and on!

It’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our beloved free pillow patterns on our website, the Elevation Pillow by Kristy Daum. Elevation is a beautiful modern pillow that creates a super cool “graph-like” design, while keeping the rest clean space. This pillow pattern allows for the sewer to mix-and-match different fabrics together, as the design is made up of smaller triangles. We love keeping each etched “line” more uniform in color, to separate the three individual lines, which creates a really cool feel.

We’ve had Elevation sewn up quite a few times, but we thought we’d share a classic favorite – with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. We adore how the whimsical prints look together in this one!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. We’re hosting another Winsday this week on our Facebook Page. This week, we are giving away our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection and want to know what makes you shine. Head on over there to enter!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are sharing some pillows that amazing pattern designer, Kristy Daum, sewed up for us! Kristy is the voice and creator behind the blog St. Louis Folk Victorian, where she shares her latest quilting creations and fabric finds. We found her blog, fell in love with her projects and style (a coworker had sent me a link to her Sherlock Quilt), and knew we had to chat! Her Elevation Pillow is available as a free pattern on our website, and is one of our absolute faves because of how much fun you can having, mixing & matching different patterns. The design creates a cool, “graph-like” design, and we like that the background is a solid, so that the middle stands out.

Kristy sewed two versions of her Elevation Pillow for us, one in our London Fog Collection and one in Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Look at how gorgeous they are? Kristy did an incredible job with the quilting too. These pillows would look fantastic tossed together on a day bed or as a big ol’ pile on the floor – comfy and pretty to look at!  You can find the free pattern for Elevation here.

Thank you, Kristy, SO much for everything! You truly are a superstar haha. You’ll definitely be seeing lots more from Kristy coming up soon, so stay tuned!! You can check out more from Kristy on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And with that, have a great day!

Happy Sewing!
