Hi everyone!
Happy Thursday! We hope you have been enjoying our Spring 2014 Collections Launch Week, and have been inspired by all the pretty collections. Which collection is your favorite so far? More to come!

You can enter to win 4 sets of chalk markers and 1 yard of chalkboard fabric by entering HERE. Good Luck to everyone entering!
We have our Thankful Thursday, and today we are featuring one of our wonderful quilt designers…Swirly Girls Design! The creative gal behind Swirly Girls Design is Susan Emory. With Susan’s love for quilting, graphic design background, and artistic knowledge, Swirly Girls Design is a modern, fresh, and beautiful quilt pattern company dedicated to creative designs with clearly written & illustrated instructions. Susan’s patterns are sold worldwide, her quilts have been featured in several well-known magazines, and has hosted many Schoolhouse programs at Quilt Market.
As well, she has provided trunk shows, workshops, and classes for quilt shops and guilds, is a member of the International Association of Creative Arts Professionals, a founding member of Richmond Modern Quilt Guild, and an Aurifil Thread Specialist. And on top of all that, she runs her quilt pattern business seamlessly! What a very busy girl!!
We had the privilege of partnering up with Susan, who created an absolutely stunning quilt design for our Free Projects Program! The quilt she created is called Flying High, a very geometric and modern quilt design – we especially love the ‘flying geese’ element to it! This pattern has worked so wonderfully with all of our collections, such as our NEW Spring 2014 Spectrum Collection (shown below!). You can find the free pattern for Flying High here.
We wanted to take the time to thank Susan for creating such a wonderful quilt design for us. We absolutely adore it, and we had a great time working with you! Be sure to check out Swirly Girls Design on their website for more, as well as their Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Twitter accounts. We hope to work with you again Susan, and are excited for what’s to come! Have a great day everyone – stay tuned for another collection launch today :)
Happy Sewing!
