Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. This week, we are giving away our Gypsy Lane FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page – so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet! :)

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Getting back from Quilt Market, we have so many incredible projects featuring our fabric back in our studio – sewn by some really talented people. One of the projects we had sewn up was a super sweet Girls Ruffle Dress by The Cottage Mama, done by Lisa of Lisa Lisa Designs. This Girls Ruffle Dress is absolutely adorable, and the perfect choice for showcasing our Scented and Mixology collections.

Our delicious strawberry print worked perfectly with our midnight woven, and the bow and ruffles were the perfect touch of sweetness. Lisa also added some mini red buttons at the shoulders, which we love. She did such an incredible job with this dress, we were squealing at its cuteness when we received it in the box!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Lisa, and want to thank her for sewing the dress for us for QM. Lisa is also a pattern designer, with wonderful PDF patterns available at her shop – Lisa Lisa Designs. We definitely recommend checking out her site! You can also find the pattern for the Girls Ruffle Dress at The Cottage Mama. Such a sweet dress!! Have a lovely day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you had a fantastic weekend!! I spent a lovely day at a greenhouse, which housed gorgeous orchids and cacti, among other plants, a bridge, and majestic fountain. A perfect, sunny afternoon!

Time for some daily inspiration with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring the last of our Mixology prints, our Woven design. Woven is a lovely textured, “cross-hatched” pattern, that works wonderfully with our Fresh Solids and newest collections. The simple design allows for it to easily be incorporated, with other designs, for any project you want to create. We also love mixing our Mixology prints among one another, the others being Herringbone, Honeycomb, and Tonic. We love the idea of a Mixology quilt – such as New Bohemian – so modern and clean!

Prabal Gurung’s Resort 2015 Collection was all about clean-cut lines, with a sports-inspired flair. Each piece was feminine and elegant, but had a fun edge to it – whether it be a zipper detail or cut hem. Prabal Gurung said his inspiration for his Resort Collection was a “one-stop shop from morning to evening.” We can definitely see the working woman go from the office to an event in all of Gurung’s latest designs. We’re also obsessed with the shoes he used for his show – the horizontal lines looked fab! One outfit that particularly sparked our interest was this dress, with the design being reminiscent of our Woven. It is the perfect day-to-night look!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what trends you’re looking forward to trying for Spring. Have a great day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! Welcome back to another week on the blog! It was such a beautiful weekend here, our first official “Spring-like” day. I spent it strolling along some cool neighborhoods, and took in the sun with some delicious iced tea. It was perfect!

Time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring another of our Mixology prints – our collections of blending fabrics, that match perfectly with our colors and collections. Tonic is our bubbly dots print, the scattered mini dots making it a perfect blending print for any of your projects – whether it be a bag, pillow, or quilt! From neutrals to pops of colors, Tonic has a color that would suit you. As well, we recently launched a couple of new Fresh Solids in our collection, including Orange Soda and Minty – which are also in Tonic prints!

Thakoon’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection features fun mixes of white and black, in different patterns and textures – with fun pops of burgundy and aqua. Thakoon stayed true to his classic, suit silhouette with a twist. He shared beautiful chiffon dresses, in chiffon and satin fabrics, that flowed effortlessly as the models walked. All of Thakoon’s pieces definitely reminded us of a cool trip to the Mediterranean. His dotted dress was reminiscent of our Tonal print in black; we loved the mix of different dot sizes in the dress. So pretty!

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post! We’d love to know what you’re most excited to be rocking for the warmer weather. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Easter Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend, and that the Easter bunny was good to you. We definitely got our fill of chocolate, donuts, and macaroons today with our office Easter hunt! Yup, always will be kids at heart ;)

Today is our Moody Monday! We are featuring another design from our Mixology Collection, a group of designs that can be “mixed” with other collections for your projects. All of the designs in our Mixology Collection match perfectly with our Fresh Solids, and colors from our latest collections, so you’ll be able to find perfect blending patterns. There are four different designs, including our adorable honeycomb prints. In a range from cool blues to luscious sorbets, our honeycomb prints would work well on their own, or mixed with one of our collections.

Kiernan Shipka dazzled at People’s “One to Watch” Party last year, in a dark blue, honeycomb-printed ruffled-hem shift dress. We fell in love with this classic silhouette on the young Hollywood star, making her look sophisticated. Her dress was the “standout”, keeping her hair in a loose up-do and minimal jewelry. The honeycomb print was reminiscent of the navy colorway of our honeycomb collection. We loved how classy she looked in navy. Such a great alternative to the LBD!

We hope we’ve inspired you today! We are so excited for all the new Spring trends, coming soon! We’d love to know what trends you are looking forward to most. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Hope you all are having a lovely day. And today is IHOP’s annual National Pancake Day! So if you’re able to head on over to an IHOPs, be sure to get your pancakes on. Deliciousness in the tummy, and for an amazing cause! It’s also the last day to enter our May Arts Ribbon x Wildflowers Collection Giveaway.

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a tutorial for a modern and striking pillow, our Color Block Pillow by Marion of Made By Marion. The color block design is very clean looking; three colors can be chosen to create a coordinating look, so you can have fun mixing and matching! And, the tassel details are just too fun – they add that extra bit of flair and uniqueness. This gorgeous Color Block Pillow is perfect as a colorful accent piece to any room. Scatter a couple of our Color Block Pillows onto a daybed, in different color combinations, and you’ll have yourself a vibrant place for reading (or napping!).

Are you as obsessed with our Color Block Pillow as we are? It’s a beauty. Click MORE to see the full tutorial. Have fun creating!! :)
