Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. We are getting excited for Saint Patrick’s Day next week, lots of crafty and green ideas stirring in the office :)

Today we’ve got a new project to share with you; it’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! We have been sharing lots of incredible quilts from our quilt designers on our website. All the quilts are beautiful, featuring our fabric collections perfectly, and they are free projects (including detailed instructions, diagrams, and patterns!). Be sure to check out all of our recent quilt designs!

This week’s How To’s Day is sharing with you a tutorial on a simple, but modern quilt design! This tutorial is such a great one for the beginner quilters because there aren’t too many pieces, the instructions are clear & concise, and the end result is a stunning quilt to call your own! :)

We used our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection for this quilt, which makes it very fresh, vibrant, and pretty. This would be the perfect quilt for snuggling up with a book on those cooler nights, to use as an esthetic piece to vamp up a room, or even as wall décor!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. Keeping in the theme of Valentine’s day week, we’ve made super cute felt mailboxes and had a mini card exchange today. We are spreading positive, heart-filled vibes in the office ♥ It’s also the last day for our Betty Boop FQ bundle giveaway! :)

We’ve also got another Valentine’s day treat for you! Today we are sharing an uber-cute DIY Valentine’s day dual tutorial: Our Conversation Hearts Banner & Valentine’s Gift Tag!! We recently launched our Ad-Fab™ (learn more about it here!) and wanted to share one of the many ways you can use it. Super easy to work with, mess-free, and perfect for all your crafting needs!

We used our chalkboard fabric and Ad-Fab™ for the pretty and sweet hearts, making a fun banner for any upcoming Valentine’s Day party! Spread some love by writing all the things you like best about your friends and loved ones with chalk or chalkboard markers onto our banner, and then re-use it for your next event! Include our Valentine’s gift tags with your presents, and your guests will also have a tag they can reuse again too! Now you will be all set and ready to celebrate with our holiday inspired DIY projects ♥

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is doing super well on this third day of December. We’ve got something extra special planned for today’s post…we’re bringing up the holiday spirit notch even higher with our festive How To’s Day! Today we share with you our Christmas stocking tutorial!! “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” – Buddy, Elf movie.

We’ve also got another holiday question for you! Today’s question is: What is your favorite holiday song? Tell us in the comments below, we’d love to know (…so that we can also add it to our office Christmas playlist! ;))

As one who wears her first Christmas sweater as soon as socially acceptable, choosing one favorite holiday song is no easy feat. However, there are two that mean the most to me.  The first is The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole, it’s a classic and a wonderful reminiscence to me of the wonders of Christmas.  It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams reminds me of my Christmas mornings: those first couple of notes and I can’t help but smile…it reminds me of those magical moments. Now let’s see what the design studio’s favorite holidays songs are:

Shannen: I, again, have 2 favorites that I can’t choose between…First is ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ by Brenda Lee because it was my grandmother’s favorite holiday song. The other would be ‘Santa Baby’ by Madonna because my 3 sisters & I would play this every day leading up to Christmas.

Valeria: Once Upon a December!! – Love that one! ♥

Marion: I’m torn – a big part of me adores Corinne Bailey Rae & Herbie Hancock’s take on River by Joni Mitchell. But at the end of December, my heart belongs to Bing Crosby singing White Christmas. 

Juan: Feliz Navidad and Little Drummer Boy!

Andra: Sarah McLachlan & Barenaked Ladies singing God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings

Office Bonus: As a group, we would like to share with you Lady Gaga & Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s version of Baby, It’s Cold Outside. You’re welcome :)

Christmas stockings are a fun holiday tradition to make with your family, as it creates lots of wonderful and cherished memories. There is no written proof of how Christmas stockings came about, but they are now an added wonder to Christmas morning: running down the stairs at the crack of dawn to an abundance of glittering presents, eagerly awaiting for your parents to wake up, so you excitedly delve into your stocking…added, wonderful memories!

For the pictured stocking, we used Graphite Birds & Flowers and Graphite Roses from our Birds of a Feather by Allison Cole collection.

There is much nostalgia attached to this holiday tradition, but they also add such a beautiful and festive look to any holiday decor around the house, especially lined along the fireplace (the perfect spot for Santa to find!). With our simple Christmas stocking tutorial, you can now create your stockings in any fabric that you desire to match your decor. Now, let’s get sewing!!
