Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day!! There is still time to enter our Star Wars: The Force Awakens Giveaway if you haven’t yet.

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a beautiful hexagon quilt by Annika, with our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection. Annika created this quilt without a pattern – what a brave soul she is! She had a ton of fun making the hexagons and then piecing the quilt together, having the element of surprise ahead of her. But in the end, everything came out wonderfully and Annika loves her new quilt… which also happens to be her first one! We are sooo impressed. She chose our Gypsy Lane collection, alternating the different prints to create a cool honeycomb look!

What a lovely quilt, Annika! We can’t believe this is your first quilt either, and that you did it freehand. Amazing job!! And thank you for Gypsy Lane fabric love. Have an amazing weekend!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! Woo it’s just about the weekend!! We’re also hosting an Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so if you haven’t entered yet, be sure to!

It’s also Fan Friday time! Today we are featuring a super sweet dress sewn by Kreated by Kate, with our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham Collection. Katelyn Boehm, designer and creator behind Kreated by Kate, makes custom hair bows, dresses, tutus, and more for little princesses-at-heart. Her style is very feminine and sweet, which is her source of inspiration when designing and choosing fabrics for her clothing. She loves all the ruffles, all the tulle, and all the pink. Of course, we wholeheartedly think the exact same way. Hehe! ;)

One of Katelyn’s latest dresses is using a Create Kids Couture pattern – the Loretta Dress. The dress features gorgeous ruffle cap sleeves, an empire waist, and an adorable y-back detail. Loretta can also be made into a ruffled-hem maxi dress and top, but Katelyn opted for a shorter version and styled it with little cowboy boots on her daughter. SO cute! She chose our Peacock Garden collection for this dress, with the green prints as the main and some pink for the details. Such a sweet dress!!

Thank you so much, Katelyn, for the fabric love. We cannot get over how adorable your dress is, and of course, how adorable your daughter is wearing it!! And with that, have a great weekend everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day!! We’ve been posting our Summer 2015 collections this week, and we’d love to know which ones are your favorite!

Ending another wonderful week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring some really awesome washable grocery bags that Karin, of Leigh Laurel Studios, made. Using the Grocery Bag pattern from Michelle Patterns, Karin said that the bags were so fun & easy to make…that she made 7 of them! The bags are lined, reversible, and washable so they are super convenient and durable to use for all of your groceries.

She chose to use our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham collection, which is the perfect collection for a bag to take to the farmer’s market! She mixed up the prints, which made for some super fun totes – say goodbye to your plain canvas totes, when you can have one with fruits on it! ;)

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Karin!! We love your whimsy, grocery bags! You can find more from Karin on her blog, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have an amazing weekend, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! I hope everyone is having a great day!! Jackie McFee relaunched her website yesterday with a makeover, and we are celebrating with a giveaway!! We’re giving away a Neon & On FQ Bundle on her Instagram, so be sure to head on over to enter (click me!).

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a wonderful quilt and bag pattern design team, Krista and Shayla of Sassafras Lane Designs. Their name was inspired by the street name where their Orange Studio is located, and famous streets continue to inspire their quilt pattern names – so fun! They are BIG fans of lots of color and prints, especially anything orange (also, hence their studio name!). Their bag and quilt patterns are modern and fun, drawing inspiration from their friends & family, and everything around them.

They launched a new quilt pattern this week called Canyon Boulevard for Spring. A gorgeous and beginner-medium skilled quilt, the pattern comes with two versions – one with string-piecing and one with a background &  assorted scraps. As well, the quilt pattern includes three sizes for versatility and convenience! The girls also gave a neat explanation behind the quilt, which you can read in their blog post. They chose to feature one of the quilts in our Fruit Stand by Jane Farnham collection, and adore the contrasting colors with white. The triangle cutouts at the bottom are such a lovely detail, which makes this quilt all the more unique and cool!

Thank you for the fabric love, Krista and Shayla!! We are so in love with the quilt, and think it looks beautiful with Fruit Stand. You can find the pattern for Canyon Boulevard on their website (available in both PDF and paper versions), as well as their blog, Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram. And with that, have an awesome day!

Happy Sewing!
