Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! Hope everyone had a great week – our first of 2016, and it’s been a pretty good start thus far!

Time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an amazing set of Marvel products that Amanda of jajogifts made this Christmastime. Jajogifts is an online shop started by Amanda while she was on maternity leave. She has always loved crafting and making things for her friends & family, so starting this new venture was perfect with the bit of free time she had. She is inspired by her children. She created a teepee tent for her son Joseph’s first birthday, and after a positive response from friends & family, the Jajo Teepee became a permanent product in her shop, and one that continues to a super popular item!

This Christmas, she created a version of her Jajo Teepee for her nephew with our Marvel Comics Collection. It is seriously one of the coolest projects we’ve even seen! In addition to the tent, she also created a couple of pillows and a bunting banner. We hope her nephew enjoys playing in his new teepee; it looks like a blast!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Amanda! We are so glad you love our Marvel Comics fabric and chose it for your projects. And with that, have a great weekend everyone!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a wonderful one!!

Time to end this week with our Fan Friday! In honor of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie launch today, we thought it would be perfect to share a Star Wars Quilt created by Ashley Tabatha Quilts. Ashley realized she had a mishmash of pieces of our Star Wars fabric, and decided to do something with them rather than to keep hoarding them. Her idea? A quilt! She chose a geometric, repeat pattern quilt and mix-and-matched the prints. All of the designs are different, but we love how the colors still blend well together – those blues, reds, yellows, and blacks – it truly encompasses everything we adore about Star Wars. Her quilt still needs to be sewn and quilted… but we just couldn’t wait to share it!! Especially on this most anticipated day!

All of the Star Wars fabrics can be found here. And yes, we have Star Wars: The Force Awakens fabric. Be sure to check out your local quilt shops for your favorite design! Have an amazing weekend!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you are having a fantastic one!! We had our Secret Santa and cookie exchange in the office, so we’re all a little hopped on sugar and presents this morning. Can’t every day be like this? ;)

Time for our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a darling mini quilt Ida of IdaRatherBeQuilting made for the Cut Up and Quilt Mini Swap. Ida is big fan of negative space, especially as it gives a fresh and modern look to a quilt. She doesn’t always gravitate towards bold geometrics, but little pops are always fun with negative space. She had some of our Emilia double gauze fabric left from the quilt she made for us for QM, and decided to create this gorgeous quilt – with a stunning lily design. She calls it the Lily Gauze quilt.

How pretty is that? We hope the quilter who received the Lily Gauze quilt adores it as much as we. We are so happy Ida enjoyed working with this collection, and made something extraordinary with the fabric leftovers. Be sure to check out more from Ida on her blog and Instagram. Have an incredible weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a couple of gorgeous aprons with our Scented collection. Charmed by Aprons is an online shop of feminine, 50s-inspired aprons in elegant and playful fabric prints & combinations. It all started when Liivika, owner of Charmed by Aprons, was searching for feminine aprons to no luck. She decided to create her own patterns, getting inspiration from vintage styles. Her friends loved her aprons so much, that it sparked the idea for a new business idea. Her shop has now expanded to several designs and limited collections, and is ever-growing. Her wish? “…that every woman feels comfortable and feminine in our aprons!”

One of her latest fabric choices caught our eye… or rather our nose! She chose a couple of prints from our Scented collection, perfectly mixing and matching different prints (and scents!) to create her stunning aprons. One of our favorites is the Peachy Peach apron, featuring our “peachy peach” design. Love the complimentary coral color with it. She also combined two of our scented prints – Watermelon and Pink Sugar. Pink and red is always a classic combination, but we also have no qualms about an ever sweeter watermelon scent.

Thank you for the fabric love, Liivika!! These aprons are absolutely gorgeous!! You can check more from Charmed by Aprons on their website, as well as on their Instagram. And with that – have an amazing weekend!!
