Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! And Happy #ForceFriday! It has been all Star Wars, all day loooong on our blog – including our exciting launch of our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection.

Ending our week with our Fan Friday, with one of the coolest Star Wars ensembles we’ve ever seen! Shawnee of thedisneyworldgirl is a, hence her Instagram handle hehe, huge fan of Disney. Her Instagram account is probably the next best thing to actually being at the parks!! On her account, she shares her Disney World adventures, and also ventures to many of the yearly conventions.

When we saw the dress she had created with our Star Wars fabric, we were so impressed!!! She used a vintage pattern to make the dress, and even sewed a matching set of Minnie ears! To complete the look, she wore Star Wars tennis shoes with fun, blue laces. So adorable!! We are so in love with her outfit – we can definitely call her a true Star Wars fan!

You’re rocking it, Shawnee!! Thank you for the fabric love – we are so happy you love our Star Wars fabric. If you are a huge Disney fan too, be sure to check out Shawnee’s Instagram; it’s filled with lots of magical and nostalgic posts. Have an awesome weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Have you entered our Flannel FQB Giveaway? Be sure to enter here – it’s soft and cozy and sweet!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous quilt, sewn and quilted by Jana Hudspeth. She chose Thimble Blossom‘s Niner Pattern, and our Paradise collection to create a standout quilt for the Quilts Etc open house in September. She decided to keep things clean, choosing a different print for each “block” and keeping the quilt modern with a white background. Absolutely LOVE how it turned out, with our Paradise collection giving the quilt a feminine and chic flair.

Such a gorgeous quilt, Jana! Thank you for the fabric love, and for tagging us on Instagram. We hope everyone adores this quilt as much as we do! Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a lovely week – and are ready for some fun this weekend!!

Ending a great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous bag sewn by Valerie Higgins of Eldra Ann Designs. Valerie chose Swoon Sewing Pattern‘s Vivian Traveler Diaper Bag pattern to create this wonderful bag for a friend. She included the additional pockets and one long exterior pocket for a diaper changing pad. She decided to feature our Gray Matters by Jack!e McFee collection, with its vibrant yellow and grey tones, to create a modern and feminine diaper bag. Valerie also mentioned that she “loved making this bag, mostly because [she] never got tired of looking at these beautiful fabrics”. Aww, thanks Valerie!!

Ohhhhhh, the inside lining is just as pretty and fun!!

Thank you, Valerie, for the fabric love. We are also big fans of Swoon Sewing Patterns, so it was great to see our Gray Matters made into one of her bags. We hope your friend enjoys her new bag! You can find more from Valerie on Facebook, Instagram, and at her Etsy Shop. Have a gooooooood weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! Weekend, weekend!! Here we come! Also, be sure to enter our A Marsala Moment Giveaway on our Facebook Page :)

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a really pretty quilt, quilted by Katherine Gray. She used the Yuma Quilt pattern by GothamQuilts, which is a super fun geometric quilt designs of lots of scattered equilateral triangles. Katherine chose to feature our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection, and we absolutely adore how the pink, coral, and blue prints mix together. As well, the whimsical quilt pattern works really well with our boho-inspired collection. Katherine decided a beach setting would go nicely as a backdrop to her quilt, and we definitely agree!

Thank you so much, Katherine, for the fabric love! The quilt pattern and What a Gem Collection definitely go hand-in-hand, and love how your quilt turned out. You can find the quilt pattern for the Yuma Quilt here. Have an awesome-tastic weekend, everyone – you deserve it!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week – but yes, we’re so are so glad it’s the weekend!!

We are very excited to be sharing this week’s Fan Friday project…because it’s one of our own, exclusive tutorials: our Quilted Bucket Bag! Jennifer Trumbo saw the tutorial on our blog, and fell in love. She created our bucket bag for her #coloroftheyearswap partner, and loved it SO much, that she made one for herself with the same fabrics. She didn’t have any trouble with our tutorial, and mentioned that our pattern was perfect (aw, shucks!) and that the bag had plenty of room. Her finished bag looks fantastic, and we adore the fun prints she chose.

Thank you so much, Jen, for the project love! You don’t know how excited we were when we saw your bag – SO glad you had fun with the project!! Hope your new bag has many awesome adventures with you! You can find the free tutorial for our Quilted Bucket Bag on our website. And with that, have a lovely weekend!!

Happy Sewing!
