Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having an excellent day! We are super excited for Mother’s Day weekend: Moms (and future moms!), what would be your ideal day of relaxation? :) We would love to know!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of wonderfully kind and talented quilt designers, Larene Smith of The Quilted Button! Larene began her for sewing at a very young age – when her mum warned her not to touch her sewing machine, as a child, Larene only became even more intrigued. As she got older, she asked her mum to teach her to make a quilt and learnt to a 9 patch quilt. From there, Larene’s love for sewing, quilting, and fabric only grew!

But it was her connection with the Material Possessions Quilt Shop that really got her started. They saw the creative spark in Larene – her designs were unique and she had a lot of different techniques, and she should be teaching a class! She met with Wendy, and started off with her first teaching class. From there, Larene has continued her passion for quilting, creating so many beautiful quilt patterns, and of course teaching!

We had the privilege of partnering with Larene, who has created some really lovely quilt patterns for our Free Projects Program. All of her patterns are easy to follow and concise, and it has been an absolutely pleasure working with Larene thus far. She has been very guiding and sweet to us, as we are still learning new things everyday about the quilting and pattern world! Some of Larene’s quilt patterns include Border Blast, Diamond Sparkle, and Whimsical…and there are more to come!

Aren’t these quilt designs just stunning? We are so happy to have found Larene and are so ecstatic for what’s to come!! And yes, there may possibly be a physical quilt coming very soon ;) Stay tuned! Thank you so much for the wonderful partnership thus far, Larene, we adore working with you!  You can check out Larene’s website for more goodies. Have a good one everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a lovely weekend, and a fantastic May the 4th!! Also – Happy Cinco de Mayo to those who celebrate. Have you entered our Glow-in-the-dark Star Wars Fabric Giveaway yet? There’s still time to enter!!

To start off a brand-new week, we have our Moody Monday! Today we are sharing our Angry Birds Star Wars fabric collection with you all. Yesterday was Star Wars Day, so we wanted to carry on the celebrations into the week by showcasing one of our Star Wars collections. In fact, Star Wars Day had become so popular that May 5th was jokingly pronounced “Revenge of the Fifth” (A play on the Star Wars’ movie “Revenge of the Sith”). On this day, Star Wars fans let their “evil sides” shine through by celebrating the Sith Lords and evil villains from Star Wars.

I guess that could definitely correlate with our Angry Birds Star Wars collection, as the Angry Birds are the Rebels & the Piggies are the Empire! The original Angry Birds game was launched in 2009, and have since accounted for over 2 billions downloads worldwide across all platforms. Since its launch, its popularity has led to game merchandise, collaborations, and future film & television ventures making it the largest mobile app success right now!

The game is actually so much fun, and even more addicting…and Star Wars decided to get on board in 2012. They created a collaborative Angry Birds Star Wars game, and from its success, an Angry Birds Star Wars II the following year. The game includes all of your favorite Star Wars characters, including Luke Skywalker Bird as Red, Han Solo Bird as Chuck, Chewbacca Bird as Terrence, Princess Leia Bird as Stella, and Stormtrooper Pigs! We created a concurrent Angry Birds Star Wars Fabric Collection to correlate with the game, the characters, and its success! The collection is bold and vibrant, including all of your favorite characters in action. Get in on the fun here!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! Be sure to enter our Star Wars Giveaway if you haven’t yet. May the force be with you!

Happy Sewing!
