Hi everyone!
Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a brilliant day! Have you entered our Petite Plume Giveaway yet? We are hosting a Pinterest Giveaway this week, so be sure to enter to win if you haven’t yet! We also posted our What We Love #4 yesterday, so be sure to check it out here! :)
It’s also time for our Fan Friday! What a great way to end another fantastic week, the first official week of Summer! And just in time for summertime, we are featuring an awesome Etsy Shop today….Vintage Divinities! Vintage Divinities, a really fun clothing Etsy Shop by Martha Godinez, is dedicated to vintage-inspired pieces such as crop tops, printed shirts, skater skirts, floral crowns, and tulle skirts! All of the items are handmade with love, and all done in really bright and festival-inspired prints and colors.
When we saw this crop top with our Star Wars fabric, we had a moment!! We absolutely adore how fun and modern this top is, with a Star Wars twist. And because it is Summer, we are all about comfort and casualwear…while still being put together and on-trend, and this is the perfect top for that. It would be great with a high-waisted pair of shorts or tulle skirt – so cute!
We are so happy that you love our Star Wars fabric!! Thank you so much for the support, Martha! Be sure to check out Vintage Divinities for more on Etsy, as well as on Facebook. Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the weather!! :)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is doing great today! Have you entered our Petite Plume Pinterest Giveaway yet? Be sure to check it out and enter HERE! :)
It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our fantastically talented quilt designers, Marta of From Marta With Love! Marta has always been a sewing enthusiast, but she found her true passion with quilting in 2010. A friend had shown her how to piece a quilt block, and from there, she began reading books and blogs on quilting…and found her quilting calling! From there, she started quilting more and created her blog, From Marta With Love, as a way to document her sewing adventures. Her blog is dedicated to both quilts and crafts, and she shares sewing tutorials for quilts and bags, patterns, giveaways, and more. From Marta With Love is bright, colorful, creative, and fresh…and that’s what attracted us to the blog!
We had the pleasure of working with Marta on a quilt design for our Free Projects Program! We loved Marta’s modern design esthetic and knew she would be a wonderful addition to our pattern designers family. Marta created her Chevrons Arrow Quilt for us, and boy is it a stunner!! We absolutely love the perpendicular alignment of the chevrons in this quilt design, and the cleanness of the rest of the space. Marta used our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection from our Spring 2014 lines, with our Au Natural Fresh Solid, and it is soso beautiful. You can find the free PDF download for the Chevrons Arrow Quilt HERE!
We want to thank Marta for creating a gorgeous quilt design for us. We absolutely loved working with you, and hope to continue a wonderful partnership in the future. You are awesome!! :) Be sure to check out more from Marta on her blog, From Marta With Love, as well as on Flickr and Instagram. She also posted about the Chevrons Arrow Quilt on her blog, so be sure to read it here. Thanks again, Marta!! Have a wonderful day! :)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. It isn’t the greatest of weather here today, but gosh is it hot and humid!! It’s days like these where all we want to do is stay indoors with the good ol’ AC :)
To liven things up a little bit here, we have our How To’s Day for you! With Summer officially here, that definitely means enduring in more outdoor activities…especially all things water-related! So excited for Summer days of swimming at the lake, catching up on a good book at the beach, and maybe even having a jet-ski adventure (…depending on how brave we’re feeling that day haha!). We always love a little nautical for the Summer, especially in fashion and décor. Who wouldn’t want to wear a navy and white striped dress and big floppy hat while cruising on the lake in a boat? Um, where do we sign up? :) But if you aren’t planning an adventure of the sorts this Summer either, have no fear…today’s How To’s Day is bringing the water to you!
Today we are sharing our tutorial on our Anchor Pillow, featuring our In The Navy by Jackie McFee Collection. And these two couldn’t be more fitting; our In The Navy collection features anchors, stripes, and dots in a fun navy, pink, and metallic gold color combination! We love the idea of a nautical-inspired guest bedroom or family room – add some decorative shells, some wood paneling, and a couple of our Anchor pillows on a striped couch…and you are all ready to set sail (…or at least it will feel that way haha!). Finish off the look for a nautical-inspired quilt, or two.
Check out the full tutorial for our Anchor Pillow HERE! :)

Hi everyone!
Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? It’s official Summer now…Happy Summer!! Here’s to yummy BBQs, fun get-togethers, and warmer weather!! :)
It’s time to start off the first week of Summer with out Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Black & Tan Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Black & Tan is an absolutely beautiful, sleek collection of herringbone, houndstooth, chevron and animal print (leopard and zebra…how fun, right?) designs in a mix of black, white, and tan. This collection is strong, modern, and has an affluent appeal…it reminds us of all the business men and women, busily rushing to and from work on Wall Street, dressed in fitted dark suits, mahogany or black shoes, and matching briefcases. And then after work, taking a quick stop…into Barney’s of course!
Black & Tan is a great collection to mix into any current décor with its neutral colors and prints, and would make for the perfect throw quilt. How about a matching foldover clutch and full skirt? Yes, please! :) Be sure to check out the full Black & Tan collection here!
Didit Hediprasetyo’s Spring 2014 Couture Collection is the epitome of 50s-inspired and classic, in both silhouettes and patterns. The collection features neutral black and brown tones but in some really fun prints – tweed, houndstooth, and leather! We absolutely adore the mix between black and tan, two strong colors that go really well together is paired properly. We love Didit Hediprasetyo’s twist on a retro jumpsuit in houndstooth, especially with the little glints of shimmer and leather detailing. This collection definitely reminds us of our Black & Tank collection, and we especially love this look…and this one! You can check out the full collection HERE! :)
We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday!! Have a great day, everyone! :)
Happy Sewing!
