Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! Happy First Day of Spring!! And…it’s International Day of Happiness! The sun is out and bright, we’re surrounded by a fabric wonderland, and there’s lots of laughter in the office – it’s definitely looking to be an extra fantastic day!

Starting off Spring right with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a stunning quilt by Jenni Berg Sews, featuring our Paisley Please by Jackie McFee Collection. Jenni Berg, of Jenni Berg Sews, is a fiber artist and quilting instructor from Pocatello, Idaho. Jenni is passionate about what she does, adores quality fabrics that are bright and bold, and enjoys interesting techniques. Aside from teaching, Jenni also creates and sells quilts on her Etsy Shop. All of her quilts are fun and happy, and she also does custom orders. Jenni shares her latest works on her Instagram, where we found the beginnings of her Paisley Please Quilt!

We were so in awe with each design she created, 9 in total, so it was just magical seeing the finished quilt come to life! Each “square” is completely different, almost like individual mini quilts, but they work so wonderfully together to create one masterpiece. And the vibrant orange and purple hues in our Paisley Please Collection just pop, and make for a really unique and modern quilt. We could really tell how much love and talent went into this quilt!

Thank you so much, Jenni, for sharing your Paisley Please Quilt with us, and for the fabric love. We are so happy you enjoyed working with our Paisley Please Collection. You can check out more from Jenni Berg on her blog, Facebook Page, Instagram, and Etsy Shop. So much happiness in one post, it’s the perfect way to end the week!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are having a lovely day. Today is Pancake Day in the UK and Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday. Lots of reasons to eat yummy food! ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful projects from our Free Projects Program. Cheryl, of Meadow Mist Designs, created a stunning table runner pattern for us that we absolutely love. Her Best Wishes Table Runner is featured with our Paisley Please collection, the complimentary navy and orange hues working magically together. We love the simplicity and modern feel of this table runner, the perfect accessory to any bare table. Add some pretty white dishware, silver decor, and white tulips…and you have yourself a beautiful, cottage-inspired table setting.

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a great day! Our Double Winsdays are still running until January 7th, 2015 so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. We are giving away our Kate FQ Bundle on our Instagram, and our Peacock Garden FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page. Double the holiday giveaways, double the fun, and double the chances of winning!! Woot woot! :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday, and it also happens to be the last Fan Friday…of 2014! Today we are featuring some adorable dolls that we found on Instagram from Heather. When we saw them, we squealed with the amount of adorableness and knew we just had to share! Heather comes from a family of quilters, and she taught herself to sew in 2006. It wasn’t long before she discovered doll making and knew she had found her niche in the sewing world. She opened up her Etsy Shop, Handmade by Heather, to share her dolls with others who will cherish them as much as she had making them.

Heather pays great attention to detail when making her sweet dolls; each handcrafted with lots of love, as well. She chooses fabrics that are bright and modern for their clothing. She also makes the sweetest mermaids that we are just head over heels for! Soso cute!!

Heather chose some of our collections for her dolls’ clothing, such as our Penelope and Mint Condition by Jackie McFee collections. They work wonderfully to bring her dolls to life, looking all sorts of stylish and pretty in their outfits!! :)

We want to thank Heather for choosing our fabrics! We are so happy you love our designs!! You can find these adorable dolls, and more from Heather, at her shop Handmade by Heather. You can also check out her Facebook Page and Instagram. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Happy Holidays & Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having a great day – it’s National Pastry Day…which means we should probably get ourselves some yummy treats. I mean, it’s a national holiday…so we have to, right? ;) We’ll take an apple and cheese turnover, with extra whipped cream please!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring a super stylish tutorial for our Twin Pillows. Changing up your pillows, whether it be your couch or bed pillows, are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to add some new flair to a space. We love rotating pillows for the different seasons and holidays, as it gives us a fun opportunity to decorate often, while being budget-friendly. Making your own pillows also allows you to choose the designs and colors you want so that the decor you’ve envisioned can come to life…

We adore our Twin Pillows Tutorial because they are unique, modern, and you create (for those who like quicker projects) two pillows from one tutorial. We also provide two different versions in the tutorial, so you can mix it up and have an array of beautiful pillows for your home! We love it with our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee collection, because the white and black prints can be incorporated into just about any decor.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. The temperature has definitely been dipping close to 0℃ here…BRR!! Not quite ready for the winter storms yet, but we’re trying to keep warm with our wool coats, knitted scarves, and ear warmers.

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection is just as the name suggests. This collection is all about pretty shades of blues in a multitude of wonderful geometric patterns. Blue is such a universally flattering color, and works well for all seasons (pacific blue for the warmer months, navy for the fall & winter!), and is always a classic. The simple, but eye-catching geometric prints in our Singin’ the Blues Collection are so stylish, and remind us of a wonderful Mediterranean vacation. Just add a touch of some blue into your house, and it will instantly lift everything up. You can see examples of projects here!

We are so inspired by Iro’s Spring/Summer 2015 Collection! This collection perfectly encapsulates where we wish we were right now. Crisp white, blue, and black are the primary colors in this tropical-inspired collection, complete with dust jackets, wide-legged trousers, and unique cut-outs. We especially adored the featured dust jacket in a stunning blue print, reminiscent of our Singin’ the Blues Collection. You can see the rest of this collection here.

We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what your ideal vacation would be. And with that…have a wonderful day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
