Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! Hope everyone had a great week – our first of 2016, and it’s been a pretty good start thus far!

Time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring an amazing set of Marvel products that Amanda of jajogifts made this Christmastime. Jajogifts is an online shop started by Amanda while she was on maternity leave. She has always loved crafting and making things for her friends & family, so starting this new venture was perfect with the bit of free time she had. She is inspired by her children. She created a teepee tent for her son Joseph’s first birthday, and after a positive response from friends & family, the Jajo Teepee became a permanent product in her shop, and one that continues to a super popular item!

This Christmas, she created a version of her Jajo Teepee for her nephew with our Marvel Comics Collection. It is seriously one of the coolest projects we’ve even seen! In addition to the tent, she also created a couple of pillows and a bunting banner. We hope her nephew enjoys playing in his new teepee; it looks like a blast!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Amanda! We are so glad you love our Marvel Comics fabric and chose it for your projects. And with that, have a great weekend everyone!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! We hope you all are having a brilliant end to the week. Know what we’re craving today? Flaky, buttery croissants. YUM! And it just so happens to be National Croissant Day. So down for one, or some, haha. We are also hosting our Elixir FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so you can enter here.

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a darling quilt we found on Instagram by Jessica Ewing of Always a Crafty Lady. Jessica started her blog, Always a Crafty Lady, at the start of 2015 – a goal to share her handmade projects & inspirations, after seeing the tag “A Year of Making” going around on Instagram. From quilts to clothing for her adorable girls, Jessica shares her passion for handmade items on her blog and gives her experience/tips with each project.

Jessica chose our Fairyville Collection for her super sweet Fairies Quilt that she made as a nap blanket for her daughter. She used a quilt pattern she found on Cluck Cluck Sew. It was also her first time machine quilting, first time binding a quilt, and first time sewing with minky. And the best part? Her daughter adores it!! She also made a second quilt using another of our Heather Rosas’ collections, Folklore.

We are so in love with your Fairies Quilt, Jessica, and are so glad you love our Fairyville Collection. You can check more from Jessica on her blog and Instagram. And if you’re loving our Fairyville Collection, you can check it out here. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love #33 ♥ It’s the last week of January, and with that, it gives us a glimmer of hope that warmer weather is upon us. Wishful thinking. In the meantime, while we snuggle up in our jammies and hot tea, Pinterest is our best friend on cold winter nights. We’ve been inspired by adorable and pretty things, as per usual. See what we have been loving most this week…♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! We hope you all are having a lovely day. Have you entered our Elixir Giveaway yet? We want to know what your favorite Pantone 2015 color is. You can enter on our Facebook Page here :)

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring Needle Travel, a fantastic fiber & fabric travel guide that is super useful for anyone who loves fabric. Needle Travel is a reference book of quilt & craft shops in the United States (we hope they expand!), complete with contact information and addresses. The shops are organized by state and are in alphabetical order, so you can easily find the shop nearest you (super convenient when you travel and want to peruse shops in an unknown area!). As well, Needle Travel features a legend to easily guide you on what each shop specifically carries (fabric, yarn, needlepoint, etc). The travel guide is updated each year with added shops & changed information, and they now offer an app for smartphone users!

We think the Needle Travel guide is a brilliant concept. We often get asked where our fabric is sold, so this is the perfect reference because many of the quilt shops who sell our fabrics are featured. And if you flip through the book, you may come across someone familiar…yup, us! ;) *sigh* our fabrics are looking oh-so pretty…

We really wanted to feature Needle Travel on the blog because we think it’s awesome! Compact, super convenient, and up-to-date – all the information you need on local quilt and craft shops in one place. You can check out their website and Facebook to see where you can find a copy. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
