Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week – but yes, we’re so are so glad it’s the weekend!!

We are very excited to be sharing this week’s Fan Friday project…because it’s one of our own, exclusive tutorials: our Quilted Bucket Bag! Jennifer Trumbo saw the tutorial on our blog, and fell in love. She created our bucket bag for her #coloroftheyearswap partner, and loved it SO much, that she made one for herself with the same fabrics. She didn’t have any trouble with our tutorial, and mentioned that our pattern was perfect (aw, shucks!) and that the bag had plenty of room. Her finished bag looks fantastic, and we adore the fun prints she chose.

Thank you so much, Jen, for the project love! You don’t know how excited we were when we saw your bag – SO glad you had fun with the project!! Hope your new bag has many awesome adventures with you! You can find the free tutorial for our Quilted Bucket Bag on our website. And with that, have a lovely weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway, so head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!

It’s How To’s Day! Today’s tutorial is for a super pretty Bias Trimmed Pillow Sham by Marion of Made by Marion. This bias trimmed pillow sham is a fun twist on your basic pillow cover. Its diagonal design gives the pillow a modern feel, along with the trim detailing and easy back zipper closure. Make two (or more!) and spruce up your bed space – goodbye boring pillow cases, hello gorgeous pillow shams! We chose to feature our Emilia Collection, with its lovely purple and grey hues, which makes for a very feminine and soft look.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We’ve been launching our Summer 2015 collections this week, so be sure to check them out here. It’s also Chocolate Day... Don’t need to give us another reason to have our daily dose of chocolate ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a tutorial for a stunning Quilted Bucket Bag, created by Marion of Made by Marion. With summertime, it’s also official vacation season! Whether it be a vacation to the tropics, a fun road trip, or even a day adventure to an undiscovered area – the quilted bucket bag will be your new, favorite companion. The bag is quite large, and has a comfortable strap, so you can put all of your favorite essentials into one – great as a carry-on or weekender bag!

The drawstring closure allows for you to easily find any loose items in your bag, such as a passport or pair of sunnies. The color blocking and quilt details add to this modern bucket bag, and it looks fantastic with our Zoey Collection. The taupe prints keep the bag fresh and neutral, but the coral interior is such a fun pop of color!

We are obsessed with this bucket bag, and cannot wait for our next adventure to use it! Want to make your own Quilted Bucket Bag? Click MORE to see the full tutorial.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an awesome day. Feeling a bit of a sugar rush this afternoon, but hey – it was Easter! Where else is all this chocolate going to go? Seems like a legit enough reason to us, haha.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a Bar Blocked Floor Mat Tutorial by Made by Marion. Simple, modern, and clean in this design, this bar blocked floor mat features our wonderful osnaburg, a textile that is like canvas but with a lighter weight (can be seen in our Basics Catalog). It is unbleached, like our Heirloom Collection, which is also featured in our project. With our Heirloom Collection, this bar blocked floor mat looks luxurious and regal.

The simple striped design makes it the perfect mat for any interior space – it would look lovely under a glass coffee table or by your bedroom door. Its smaller size makes it a great piece for adding a bit of pizzazz to a floor space, without the commitment of a large rug or carpet.
