Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all are having a good one. Today is National Cheese Day… grilled cheese, mac & cheese, enchilladas, pizza… Cheese is pretty much a universal food that makes everything taste extra yummy!

We’re definitely getting hungry now! But I guess we’ll have to stick with fruit for today’s post – with the announcement of our Winsday Giveaway Winner! This week, we hosted a Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham Giveaway on our Facebook Page. We asked you which of our collections was your favorite – and we had a blast reading all of your comments. You all made us blush! But of course there could only be one winner of our luscious bundle… and that lucky gal is:

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day!! We’ve been posting our Summer 2015 collections this week, and we’d love to know which ones are your favorite!

Ending another wonderful week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some really awesome washable grocery bags that Karin, of Leigh Laurel Studios, made. Using the Grocery Bag pattern from Michelle Patterns, Karin said that the bags were so fun & easy to make…that she made 7 of them! The bags are lined, reversible, and washable so they are super convenient and durable to use for all of your groceries.

She chose to use our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham collection, which is the perfect collection for a bag to take to the farmer’s market! She mixed up the prints, which made for some super fun totes – say goodbye to your plain canvas totes, when you can have one with fruits on it! ;)

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Karin!! We love your whimsy, grocery bags! You can find more from Karin on her blog, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have an amazing weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! I hope everyone is having a great day!! Jackie McFee relaunched her website yesterday with a makeover, and we are celebrating with a giveaway!! We’re giving away a Neon & On FQ Bundle on her Instagram, so be sure to head on over to enter (click me!).

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a wonderful quilt and bag pattern design team, Krista and Shayla of Sassafras Lane Designs. Their name was inspired by the street name where their Orange Studio is located, and famous streets continue to inspire their quilt pattern names – so fun! They are BIG fans of lots of color and prints, especially anything orange (also, hence their studio name!). Their bag and quilt patterns are modern and fun, drawing inspiration from their friends & family, and everything around them.

They launched a new quilt pattern this week called Canyon Boulevard for Spring. A gorgeous and beginner-medium skilled quilt, the pattern comes with two versions – one with string-piecing and one with a background &  assorted scraps. As well, the quilt pattern includes three sizes for versatility and convenience! The girls also gave a neat explanation behind the quilt, which you can read in their blog post. They chose to feature one of the quilts in our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham collection, and adore the contrasting colors with white. The triangle cutouts at the bottom are such a lovely detail, which makes this quilt all the more unique and cool!

Thank you for the fabric love, Krista and Shayla!! We are so in love with the quilt, and think it looks beautiful with Fruit Stand. You can find the pattern for Canyon Boulevard on their website (available in both PDF and paper versions), as well as their blog, Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram. And with that, have an awesome day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! Have you entered our Fresh Solids Giveaway yet? We’d love to know what your favorite Fresh Solid color is. You can enter here if you haven’t! :)

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday!! Today we are featuring one of our lovely project designers, Melissa Stramel of Lilac Lane Patterns! Melissa Stramel is a lover of all things floral! Whether it is tending to her garden, flower arrangement, or creating with floral fabrics, Melissa is always up for the challenge. While staying at home and sewing for her children, Melissa decided to combine her love for fabric & creating patterns by starting a business called Lilac Lane Patterns. After its success, Lilac Lane grew into a store in her hometown of Colby, Kansas called Creations Gallery. A pharmacist by training, Melissa has found the industry that encapsulates her skills and her loves perfectly! Melissa creates and sells her patterns under Lilac Lane, has a blog, and also has published a book! A very busy gal, indeed!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa of Lilac Lane Patterns for a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Melissa has such a creative mind, and created some really unique patterns for us. The first project is her Butterfly Quilt, which has a very cool, scrappy look with adorable little “butterflies” in the quilt design. We absolutely adore it with our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection. As well, her genius “The Sky is Falling” Table Runner with our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham Collection is so modern and fun!

We want to thank Melissa for the incredible patterns for our Free Projects Program!! You can find the free tutorials for the Butterfly Quilt and The Sky is Falling Table Runner on our website. As well, you can find more from Melissa on her website, blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Etsy. Have a good one, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
