Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Can you believe that there are 10 more days until Christmas?? I finally got my tree up and decorated this weekend, and gosh – does it look and smell heavenly!!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our easy fabric gift wrap ideas, just in time for your upcoming gift-wrapping sessions (complete with a cup of hot cocoa and your favorite holiday movie). If you’re like me, you’ve got a couple of last minute gifts to pick up… and never seem to have enough wrapping paper. Where does it all go? Haha. Well, no worries – because your overflowing fabric stash can help you out! So many pretty options to choose from, and it makes it that more special!

There are 4 unique gift-wrapping options we’re sharing with you! We’ve got all of your gift wrapping challenges covered. Click MORE to see the full tutorials.

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. Today is Let’s Hug Day, so sending all of your all a virtual hug :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are sharing a couple of projects from our Quilt Market booth, sewed by the wonderful Shannon Fraser of sf.designs. The first is a stunning Whimsical Quilt, with our The Alchemy Collection: Indigo by the Camelot Design Studio. The blue hues of Alchemy gave a playful look to the whimsy-inspired quilt design.

Our Flourish by Ciana Bodini collection stood out in the best way, with our Saybrook Pillow. The gorgeous blue and mint hues popped, especially next to the clean white space. What a wonderful pillow to decorate a neutral living room!

And last, but never the least, our Peaks & Valleys Table Runner was a great choice with our Mickey Mouse & Friends collection. The white space allowed for the primary colors in this collection to be the star of the table runner. We adore how Mickey Mouse & the gang add a warm, nostalgic feel too. So sweet!!

Thank you to Shannon, for making these amazing projects for us, for our Quilt Market booth! You helped us make our booth a great success this year!! Have an amazing day, everyone :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Chilly, gloomy, mid-November day… but it’s almost the weekend! ;)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a couple of projects we had sewn for our Fall Quilt Market booth. One of our favorite quilters, and fellow Montrealer, Stephanie Baldwin quilted one quilt and sewed two bags for our booth. And, as always, Stephanie did an a-MAZ-ing job. The two bags were done with our new Flourish by Ciana Bodini collection, a gorgeous green and pink floral collection. The first is the Sienna Tote by  lbg studio. We chose the darker floral for the body, which contrasted nicely with the mint green gingham handles and bottom. The other bag is the Della Wallet Clutch by Swoon Patterns. We love how pretty this clutch came out, and would make for a perfect Christmas gift!

As well, Stephanie quilted our Cracker Lattice Quilt with our With Love by Jack!e McFee collection. We had never seen the physical version of the quilt, so we were especially excited to see this one. The pink and tan heart & floral prints worked wonderfully in this quilt design… we always love Stephanie’s quilting! It was the perfect backdrop to our With Love section.

Thank you SO much, Stephanie, for creating such stunning projects for our Fall Quilt Market booth. We are always so ecstatic to see the projects you sew for us (almost as exciting as Christmas morning)! If you want to make your own With Love/Cracker Lattice quilt – click here for the free pattern. Have a marvelous rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. We had a wonderful Fall Quilt Market this past weekend… stay tuned for a fun recap!

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our newest Fall 2015 collections, Flourish by Ciana Bodini. Flourish is a soft and dreamy collection of pretty florals and streamlined prints. The inviting peach, mint, and mineral blue hues are a perfect combination for this romantic collection. The effortless femininity of this collection is reminiscent of a quiet spot in the outskirts of Paris – all you’re missing is a chic dress, classic french read, and a vintage bicyclette!

Red Valentino’s Fall 2012 Collection is so whimsical and sweet, just like Flourish! The whole collection is infused with blushing pinks, ruffles, florals on florals, and over-the-top bows – just as we like it!! This dress was reminiscent of our Flourish print; we adore the Marie Antoinette/doll-feel of the ensemble, especially how the model was styled. So fun! 

We hope we have inspired with today’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what you think of our Flourish collection. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

We have another Fall 2015 Collection for you today… Flourish by Ciana Bodini! Flourish is a romantic collection of peach, mint, and teal hues to create a dreamy enchantment of delicate florals and gingham prints. The effortless femininity of this collection is reminiscent of a quiet spot in the outskirts of Paris – all you’re missing is a chic dress, classic french read, and a vintage bicyclette!

One can never have too many florals! There is something about having a fresh bouquet of flowers to freshen up a space. But if you aren’t one with a green thumb (not one here!) – a cozy quilt, such as Festival, with our Flourish Collection will do just the trick.

Let us know what you think of our lovely Flourish by Ciana Bodini collection! And, stay tuned for lots more…
