Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! This week is our Summer 2014 Collections Launch Week, and we hope you have been enjoying our launched collections thus far. We have been posting a new collection everyday: Monday was our Paddington Bear Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, and today we launched It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas. Be sure to check out our previous blog posts on them, as well as the full collections and coordinating free projects on our website.

We have been branching into the crafting world, and now have a wonderful collection of felt! We have soft felt (printed and solid designs), hard felt (printed and solid), and adhesive felt (printed and solid) in 12×12″ pre-cuts – perfect for all your crafting and decorative needs. Our soft felt is also available by the yard, both in our printed and solid designs. Be sure to check all of our pretty felt designs and colors on our website!

In honor of our felt, we have got a very adorable and fun tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day. Today we are sharing with you our super sweet Basket of Fruits Tutorial. With all the delicious colors found in our felt collection, we were inspired to make something yummy (with names such as Melon, Raspberry, Bubblegum, and Chocolate…how couldn’t we be?). Our little fruit basket includes all of your favorites – a slice of watermelon, a banana, a pear, an apple, and a lemon – so sweet that they look almost good enough to eat.

This  felt and ad-fab™  project is perfect for playing with your little ones or for decorating a kitschy room. This would also be a great project to make with little kids; let them choose their favorite fruits and they can help cut out the shapes and glue on the pieces! It would be a fun way to spend an afternoon together. The fruit possibilities are endless, so have fun with this tutorial, and make your very own basket of yummy fruits!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. We are trying to embrace the milder weather, as we are supposed to be getting more rain in the next coming days. Sigh. We just want sunshine!! :)

In the meantime, we’ve got something else to brighten your day – it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day post! We’ve got a fantastic new tutorial to share with you all, our Easy Pillow Slip! We are all about simplicity and convenience here, so if we can make something…why not right? :) Bedcovers and sheets should be interchanged every couple of weeks, and there is honestly nothing better than the feeling of going to bed in fresh linens. However, buying extra bed wear can get pretty expensive, especially for something that can easily be made yourself, so we are going to share our tips & tricks with you today on just that!

Another awesome thing about bedcovers is that they are just that – covers for your bed! It’s the simplest way to change up a bedroom look; keep the rest of your bedroom décor neutral and add pops of color with your linens (ie. pillows, bed sheets, and curtains!). In a manner of minutes, you’ll have yourself a completely different looking room. It’s a great way to decorate on a budget (such as for a dorm room!), or for those who just like changing things up! Indulge in your inner interior decorator by mastering your very own pillow slips with our tutorial today.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. We are getting excited for Saint Patrick’s Day next week, lots of crafty and green ideas stirring in the office :)

Today we’ve got a new project to share with you; it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been sharing lots of incredible quilts from our quilt designers on our website. All the quilts are beautiful, featuring our fabric collections perfectly, and they are free projects (including detailed instructions, diagrams, and patterns!). Be sure to check out all of our recent quilt designs!

This week’s How To’s Day is sharing with you a tutorial on a simple, but modern quilt design! This tutorial is such a great one for the beginner quilters because there aren’t too many pieces, the instructions are clear & concise, and the end result is a stunning quilt to call your own! :)

We used our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection for this quilt, which makes it very fresh, vibrant, and pretty. This would be the perfect quilt for snuggling up with a book on those cooler nights, to use as an esthetic piece to vamp up a room, or even as wall décor!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! Whew – we made it past the middle of February, and you know what that means – it’s time to be thinking about spring! Ah, spring … sunshine, longer days, bees buzzing among the flowers.

 
Okay, maybe we’re being a tiny bit optimistic, but it can’t hurt to look ahead, can it? In that optimistic vein, our DIY Tutorial this week is the perfect homemade gift for any little spring or winter baby to teeth on and practice his or her coordination. Made from the super-adorable Theodore and Izzy collection, this ring stacking toy makes a versatile and unique gift for the little honey in your life.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. Keeping in the theme of Valentine’s day week, we’ve made super cute felt mailboxes and had a mini card exchange today. We are spreading positive, heart-filled vibes in the office ♥ It’s also the last day for our Betty Boop FQ bundle giveaway! :)

We’ve also got another Valentine’s day treat for you! Today we are sharing an uber-cute DIY Valentine’s day dual tutorial: Our Conversation Hearts Banner & Valentine’s Gift Tag!! We recently launched our Ad-Fab™ (learn more about it here!) and wanted to share one of the many ways you can use it. Super easy to work with, mess-free, and perfect for all your crafting needs!

We used our chalkboard fabric and Ad-Fab™ for the pretty and sweet hearts, making a fun banner for any upcoming Valentine’s Day party! Spread some love by writing all the things you like best about your friends and loved ones with chalk or chalkboard markers onto our banner, and then re-use it for your next event! Include our Valentine’s gift tags with your presents, and your guests will also have a tag they can reuse again too! Now you will be all set and ready to celebrate with our holiday inspired DIY projects ♥
