Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. It is the last day to enter our Itty Bitty FQB x coordinating Aurifil Spools Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you’d like. Good Luck to everyone entering!! PS: We’ve been excitedly going through all the new summer song suggestions, and have been loving them in the office…so thank you so much! :)

It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! We absolutely adore Burda Style, and are often found perusing on their website and magazines for sewing and style inspiration. They have a ton of creative and beautiful content each issue, there’s always something new, and we’re always inspired! As well, their patterns are always on-trend and such an ease to work with. They have a fantastic webisode dedicated to sharing sewing tips & tricks, as well as fun project tutorials for everyone. They have an online forum and gallery where fellow sewing enthusiasts can post their newest creations, either using a Burda Style tutorial or one that they made themselves…such a great place to share!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Did anyone work on any fun projects? :) We have also hosting our Itty Bitty FQB x Aurifil Giveaway this week on our Facebook – be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet :)

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! We’re featuring one of our incredible licenses this week…our Ultimate Spider-Man II Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. This one is for all of our Marvel and Spidie fans – a collection of the iconic red and blue colors that showcase our main man brilliantly. Encapsulated in vivacious blue and red, Ultimate Spider-Man II features Spidie to the rescue, and of course using his iconic spiderweb.  All of the designs in our Ultimate Spider-Man II collection are great for a little (or not so little) man’s bedroom – imagine some Spider-man pillows and curtains, finished by an awesome blue- and red-infused quilt…perfect for a little superhero-in-training!

We were inspired by the classic red and blue colors in our Ultimate Spider-Man II Collection, and Dior’s Fall 2014 RTW Collection encapsulates a very futuristic and superhero-esque feel. We absolutely adore that this collection is color-focused, using bright and bolder colors as opposed to letting patterns voice the collection. We love color-blocking, and Dior’s collection does this brilliantly. Of course, we were inspired by the red and blue outfit (Spider-Man colors!)…two colors that you wouldn’t necessary put together in an outfit, but look fantastic! You can check out the full Dior Fall 2014 collection here.

We hope our Moody Monday has inspired you today; sometimes taking a chance and putting together two colors that you think might not work will create something new and fantastic. Have a good one, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!!

Happy Friday! YAY for it being almost the weekend!! :) Have you entered our Itty Bitty FQB x Aurifil Giveaway? We have been rocking out to our Summer Playlist in the office, and have been looking for some new songs to play…which inspired this week’s giveaway theme. Be sure to enter HERE! :)

Time to finish off a great week with our Fan Friday! We saw this absolutely precious on Instagram, and we just had to share! Jenn Trumbo shared her stunning apron with our Penelope Collection and we are in love with it. At the Camelot Design Studio, we are definitely suckers for anything with pockets. And these pockets = perfection! Jenn used our main floral print from Penelope for the body, and our beautiful Pink Baubles print for the contrasting trims…a beautiful combination! :)

Jenn is a part-time seamstress, and full-time mommy to a 3 year old boy. She has always had a love for sewing and quilting, and has found a career that she loves & finds a great passion for. Her favorite part about sewing? Fabric shopping, of course! She gets inspired by her pretty fabric finds for project ideas, and always has at least three different projects in the works at a time. She sews ceiling grid designs for Noah’s Events Venue and apron samples for Jan Lutz from The Apron Lady Designs. However, it’s important for her to separate her “work” sewing and her “fun” sewing. In her free time, she really loves making things for her friends and family…another “excuse” for more fabric shopping. We agree with your smart thinking, Jenn! :)

Jenn saw our Penelope Collection at a quilt show and was immediately drawn to its happy colors and designs! Pink and blue is her favorite color combination, and she was inspired to create a work apron with it. The bright colors from her apron now add an instant boost to her workday when she wears it. And how can it not? It’s such a fun and sweet apron!! Thank you so much Jenn for the fabric love, and for sharing your Penelope apron with us. You can check our Jenn’s work at Noah’s Events Venue and The Apron Lady Designs. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
