Welcome!

Hi everyone,

 
Happy Thursday! We have been launching our Fall 2015 Collections this week! Let us know which ones are your favorite so far :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring an Canadian-based Etsy shop – Barabooboo Designs – dedicated to handmade, high-quality, and beautiful wallets, handbags, and totes. Michelle, owner and creative behind Barabooboo Designs, started handstitching at the age of 5… and never looked back. She is a fabric buyer, collector, and sewer and adores working with fun, modern fabric prints. After spending 14 years as a floral designer, she went back to her true passion – sewing – and started Barabooboo Designs.

She recently launched a couple of bags featuring our Elixir collection, and we just had to share!! The first is the gorgeous Lantana Shoulder Bag, the second the lovely Jada clutch – both patterns by Blue Calla. We adore how she mixed a soft gray fabric with our Elixir print. So pretty!

Thank you for the fabric love, Michelle!! We are obsessed with your Elixir bags. You can find more from Barabooboo Designs on Facebook, Etsy, and Instagram. Have a terrific day, y’all!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day. Have you entered our A Marsala Moment FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter here!

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of the many wonderful projects we had sewn for our Spring Quilt Market booth. Carrie Burnett of Beri Bee Designs sewed a clutch with our Elixir collection, using the In a Clutch Cosmetic Case pattern by SewStitchingHappy. We loved the simplicity of the clutch pattern, and wanted to feature our feminine orchid hues from Elixir in a chic way. We chose our orchid ikat print for the clutch’s body, complimented by the orchid honeycomb print for the top trim. The cosmetic case turned out beautifully; the perfect pop of color to have in your handbag.

Thank you so much, Carrie, for sewing this clutch for us for our Quilt Market booth. It looked wonderful in the Elixir section! You can find more from Carrie on her Facebook, where she creates and sews children’s clothing and accessories. Have a fabulous rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day. As well, Happy Cinco de Mayo, to those who celebrate!

On to this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring another awesome Swoon Patterns project that we had sewn in-house, with our Elixir Collection. Our Elixir Collection is packed with bold purple, navy, and mint hues in fun geometric patterns. The freshness of this collection makes for beautiful accessory and clothing pieces because they add happy pops of color to anything! We decided to use Elixir to create Swoon Pattern’s Vivian Handbag & Traveler.

The large-sized bag would make for the perfect baby bag or weekender tote. The pockets, one located on each side, make for a convenient spot for a baby or water bottle, and the double straps make it easy to carry around. We chose a fun triangle geometric pattern for the body and a more muted, broken herringbone design for the handles and outer shell – a great combination that is playful, but still neutral! We love how this Vivian bag turned out!!

You can find the pattern for the Vivian Handbag & Traveler at Swoon Patterns. It is such a versatile and stylish bag; we are so obsessed with ours!! (psst. Mother’s Day is this weekend!) Elixir will be one of the collections we’ll be featuring at Quilt Market (booth 101), so be sure to stop by to see the Vivian in person. And with that, have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! We hope you all are feeling fabulous today. But if you’re not, we’re about to make your day a little brighter with this week’s Winsday!

Yup, that’s right…it’s time for another Winsday! This week, we will be giving away our Elixir FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page. Fun note, our Elixir Collection features the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year… Radiant Orchid. It is such a pretty and vivacious purple color, and it was definitely one of our favorites. Pantone had recently launched its 2015 Spring Colors – Aquamarine, Scuba Blue, Lucite Green, Classic Blue, Toasted Almond, Strawberry Ice, Tangerine, Custard, Marsala, Glacier Gray – and chose Marsala as its 2015 Color of the Year.

To enter our Elixir FQB Giveaway, we want to know what YOUR favorite Pantone Spring 2015 Color is. Below we have provided an image with all the colors, so you can easily make your pick.
