Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone work on any fun crafting or quilting projects this weekend? We’d love to know! We are also giving away a Petite Plume FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter if you haven’t. Click HERE to enter!!

The official, last Monday of August!! Today we are sharing our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection for this week’s Moody Monday. It’s a Bird’s Life brings you the majestic-ness of a beautiful and temperate field of fresh blooms. The sounds of the birds happily chirping, the smell of the luscious florals, and the feeling of the crisp air – that is all the things that It’s a Bird’s Life reminds us of. This collection is a mix of warm grey, coral, yellow, and mint hues in whimsical designs of birds, birdhouses, flowers, and geometric patterns. We could imagine a darling little girl’s half-circle skirt or little tot’s tote in this collection. And, how about a floral & bird infused quilt or two for your bedroom or living room? LOVE! You can check out the full collection HERE.

One collection that reminds us of the prettiness of our It’s a Bird’s Life is that of Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2014 RTW Collection. Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2014 Collection  encapsulates a very whimsical, nature-inspired feel to it with floral vines decorating the clothing pieces and printed scenes from Greece. Gabbana describes the collection as “an unconscious dream”, as the clothing have a contrasting feel of real and what is irrational, which can only be found in dreams. We get that sense of fantasy and imagination in this collection, which inspired us with this week’s Moody Monday for It’s a Bird’s Life. You can check out the full collection for Dolce & Gabbana‘s Spring 2014 collection HERE.

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! Let us know what you favorite design is in our It’s a Bird’s Life Collection. Have a good one!

Happy Sewing!

Time for this week’s Winsday!! We’ve got another awesome FQ Bundle to giveaway for you all – our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection!

It’s DAY TWO of our Summer 2014 Collections Launch Week! Did you see our first collection launch yesterday? We shared our newest license, our Paddington Bear Collection, and are obsessed with its sweetness. Be sure to check out the blog post here, as well as the full collection and free projects on our website.

Today we are sharing with you our new It’s a Bird’s Life Collection by Heather Rosas! If you imagine all the things you love most about nature, a perfect and scenic day, that is what It’s a Bird’s Life is all about. This collection is beautiful and whimsical, enchanted by gorgeous floral designs and adorable birdies. There is something wonderfully majestic about being able to run freely through an abundance of colorful blooms. The colors in this collection are soft and cheerful hues of turquoise, red, grey, and yellow making It’s a Bird’s Life feminine and vintage-esque.

We can imagine a mother-daughter duo with matching voluminous skirts and floral crowns, or a floral infused living room with a It’s a Bird’s Life table runner and pillows. A little girl would be super cute in a It’s a Bird’s Life jumper, and she’s got to have her own little purse too, of course! Also, how stunning would a floral and bird-themed quilt be? :)

We would love to know what you think about our It’s a Bird’s Life by Heather Rosas Collection! Which SKU is your favorite? As well, be sure to check out all of our free projects – including this, this, and this quilt. Be sure to check out our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for lots more. As well, stay tuned for another collection tomorrow – our launch week is just getting started! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!! Happy Fourth of July to all our American friends!! We wish you a fantastic and safe celebratory weekend!! If you haven’t seen it yet, we posted some awesome DIY Fourth of July gift and party ideas on our blog last week…here’s the link to check it out!

It’s also time to end another super week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop and blog: Charley, Dee, & Me! Charley, Dee, & Me is a blog run by Rebecca, and dedicated to all things fabric-related. Rebecca loves to sew and quilt, especially with the women in her family, and enjoys blogging about all of her project-making adventures. As well, Rebecca shares tutorials with her readers – table runners, a fun toaster cover, and more! :)

In correlation with her blog, Rebecca also has an Etsy Shop where she sells her beautifully handmade burp cloths, blankets, and quilts for little ones. A lot of the chain store products for babies are generic and, for lack of a better word, boring…but Rebecca brings a contemporary flair to baby stuff! Rebecca has impeccable taste in fabric designs, so all of her products are eye-catching and modern, perfect for all the little ones who want to be comforted but also stay in style! We absolutely adore these burp cloths that Rebecca made with our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection. This set is absolutely adorable, and the packaging is perfection as well. It would make for such a lovely baby shower gift!

We are so happy that you love our Frolicking Forest fabric, Rebecca! We really love the esthetic of your blog and shop, and are honored to be a part of it. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
