Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is doing well :) We’ve been launching our Winter 2015 Collections this week, and today we launched our Gypsy Lane Collection by Jane Farnham. Click here for lots of pretty designs!

 

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing an amazing pillow tutorial from one of our exclusive designers, Nikki Maroon of The Girl Who Quilts. She created her Diamond Cut Pillow for our Free Projects Program, and we love it! It’s pretty simple in design, but creates a fantastic and geometric look that would go well with every type of interior, from shabby chic to more modern. The diamond “cut” allows for you to choose different fabric prints with a similar color scheme, so it looks different and unique. Such a great pillow tutorial to play around with!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is bundled up and warm today – it’s another chilly one for us. As well, it’s the last day to enter our Elixir FQB Giveaway! You can enter here.

 

It’s time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing one of our projects from our Free Projects Program. One of our pattern designers, Kristy Daum, created a beautiful quilted pillow pattern for us called Around the Block. Create a couple of these pillows to add a pretty and modern flair to any bedroom or living space, and you will be living in a comfortable paradise! We love our Elixir Collection with this pillow too, the collection that we just so happen to be giving away this week! As usual, Kristy created an easy to work with and beautiful pillow pattern for us…thank you, Kristy :)

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. Just to make your day even brighter, we’ve got our weekly Winsday on our Facebook Page. We are giving away some of our adorable Paddington Bear fabric!

 

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our tutorial for our absolutely gorgeous Venn Placemats. Our Venn Placemats are the perfect mix between clean design aesthetic and keeping your surfaces, well, clean. We know that our mathematicians and designers will especially adore the style of our placemats. Have fun choosing different and unique print combinations! The simplicity and modernity of our Venn Placemats would work in any interior space. And because they are oh-so pretty, you’ll want to leave them as added decor on your dining table.

We offer two sizes of our Venn Placemat in this tutorial – a larger mat with the full Venn diagram look and a smaller mat, that is equally stunning. We chose to style ours with our Rise & Shine Collection, and think the blues, greys, and yellows would work wonderfully in any space.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are having a great day. Another Tuesday, another fun DIY project for you all..

 

Yup, that’s right! It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our beautiful No-Sew Pillow Tutorial. This relatively simple project is especially perfect for beginners, who are just starting to get into the crafting world. This tutorial does not require a ton of time to make, so it’s a great project for transforming any interior space. Having guests over but want to quickly spruce up your living room? Need to film a pretty, but quick DIY project for a friend? Feeling crafty, but don’t have a sewing machine? This is the project for you! (…and anyone else just looking for a fun project to try! ;))

Make a plethora of them and pile them all together on the floor to lie in! So so comfy! As well, we shared our No-Sew Pillow with our Pastel Me More Collection – the colors are fresh, happy, and exuberant – but this pillow would look amazing with any print.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Just a reminder: our two holiday giveaways are ending tomorrow…so be sure to get in on the fun if you haven’t yet! You can enter our Kate Giveaway on our Instagram, and our Peacock Garden Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Good Luck!

 

New Year, New Projects! It’s time to kick-start 2015 with our first How To’s Day. Today we are sharing our DIY Essentials Case – the perfect little companion for all your traveling and organizing needs. This awesome essentials case is perfect for traveling – put all your most used items into one pouch for easy access. So convenient! We know traveling can be super stressful, so compartmentalizing your items can be a real time- and stress-saver!

As well, our Essentials Case makes for a fantastic pencil case or cosmetics case, with its convenient size and soft shape. It also makes for a great case for holding all your beloved sewing supplies. And, not such a fan of daily household items looking “out of place” in your decor? We also love the idea of using our case to cover a baby wipes container or a stack of tissues!

We’ve included two versions of our Essentials Case, so with just an added step, you’ve got two case tutorials in one!
