Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an awesome day :) It’s the last day of Summer… but it’s also National Ice Cream Cone Day. Oh my!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our free quilt patterns, our Deco Ritz Quilt by The Fat Quarter Gypsy. Deco Ritz is just as the name suggests – a super unique and glam quilt pattern that would fit very well in the 1920s, with its graphic and angular shapes. We first introduced Deco Ritz with our Nightfall collection, which the quilt pattern was inspired by, but we adore it with our other collections as well! With our Fresh Solids, this quilt pattern has a fresh and pop art-like feel. Love!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day. It’s the last day to enter our Star Wars: The Force Awakens Giveaway on our Facebook Page.

Time for today’s How To’s Day! This week, we are featuring one of our free quilt patterns – Border Blast by The Quilted Button. The Border Blast is a fun play on different types of borders to create a quilt pattern , including checkered rectangles and different width-ed borders. We chose to keep this one simple (though it also looks great with our designs – such as with our What a Gem Collection) by using our Fresh Solids. Different shades of blues and purples combine to create this bold and blocked quilt.

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! How was everyone’s weekend? Any fun projects that you’re working on? We’d love to know!

It’s time for our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring Carbon – one of our latest colors to become a part of the Fresh Solids collection. Carbon is a moody and broody, dark grey color that meshes well with a lot of different palettes. Warm a bright project with a bit of carbon, or create a neutral-colored quilt. And with the fall time coming soon, carbon is one color that is sure to keep all of your projects (and you!) feeling oh-so cozy. Our carbon color is available as a solid, as well as in our herringbone and honeycomb prints.

We are obsessed with how fresh and modern Calvin Klein’s Fall 2006 Collection is. Even almost 10 years later, his ensembles are all pieces we still see on the streets, in the magazines, and as upcoming trends. We love the neutral palette he chose – a classic look for the autumn weather. We adore this outfit, which is reminiscent of our Carbon herringbone print. Simple, classic, but that skirt is incredible.

We hope we have inspired you today! We’d love to know what fall trends you are looking forward to trying. Especially since NYFW has been underway! Have a great day!!

Happy Sewing!

Did you catch the first collection launch for our Summer 2015 Collections Week? Check out our last post, talking about our exciting Guardians of the Galaxy Collection! Along with our new collections, we’re also introducing two new Fresh Solid colors: Pink Chai and Carbon.

First up – Pink Chai – a gorgeous muted pink color, that reminds us of a soft strawberry sorbet. We have Pink Chai in our fresh solids, as well as in two our Mixology prints: Tonic and Woven. Additionally, we now have a darker, more inky gray color in the mix – Carbon. It is also available as a fresh solid, and two of our Mixology prints: Herringbone and Honeycomb.

Such luscious colors!! They work well with their coordinating collections, as well as on their own – we love mixing our Mixology and Fresh Solids together to create modern, clean quilts. Stay tuned for tomorrow…two more collection launches are coming your way!

It’s How To’s Day time! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful free project quilt patterns by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa created a couple of projects for us, one being her Hang Time Quilt. Hang Time is a very cool looking quilt, with 16 blocks together to create a window-like effect. If you choose one colour for the lattice design, it looks almost like “stained glass”. Sometimes with an intricate-looking design, less is more when it comes to patterns…so we love the look of Hang Time with our Fresh Solids. The bright colours gives the right amount of oomph to the quilt, and would look incredible on top of a bed or on a wall. It’s pretty much art! You can also find the full pdf printout here.
