Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a lovely day… and today is National Banana Split Day, everyone. Oh, that sounds so appeeling right now haha!
Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Diamonds Quilt by Nikki Maroon of The Girl Who Quilts. Our Diamonds Quilt is one of our beloved favorites. Bordered octagon shapes are blocked together in rows to create a modern quilt design. As well, there is an ombre effect created with different fabric patterns which is a simple, but fun detail. We chose to highlight our Little Bird by Camelot Design Studio collection, with its soft pink, mint, and grey hues. The gentle gradient makes for a gorgeous, showstopping bed or wall quilt!

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday!! I hope you all are having a fabulous day. And just in case you’re looking for an excuse to eat some sweet stuff today (we always are haha ;)), it’s National Strawberry Parfait Day! Yummm.
Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our gorgeous quilt patterns, designed by Marta of From Marta With Love. Marta’s modern and fun quilt pattern features boho-inspired arrow details that go both vertically and horizontally. It creates such a cool look, while keeping the rest of the quilt neutral, to really make the arrow designs pop. This quilt pattern would work with a multitude of different fabric collections, but we just love it in our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham collection.
One of our display sections at this Spring’s Quilt Market was Gypsy Lane. We wanted a standout quilt design to feature this bold and whimsical collection, and knew Chevron Arrows was the winner. Another of our pattern designers Nikki Maroon of The Quilt Who Quilts and her mum, were able to quilt it for us, and did an incredible job. Just look at the quilting work on this quilt? We were speechless when we saw it in person. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much, Nikki and mom, for helping us out for Quilt Market. We are so in love with our Chevron Arrows Quilt, and are so blessed to work with such incredibly, talented people. Be sure to check out more from Nikki on her blog. She is such a quilting pro. If you’d like to make your own Chevron Arrows, it’s also available as a free pattern on our website. And with that, have an awesome day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a good day so far. We cannot believe that there are 48 days until Christmas!! So excited for everything – the pretty decorations, the shopping, the gift wrapping, the food. Ah, we can’t wait! :)
It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are thanking one of our incredible pattern designers. Nikki Maroon is the crafty gal behind the blog, The Girl Who Quilts, a name that perfectly embodies who she is. The Girl Who Quilts is all about Nikki’s quilting adventures, from her latest quilt creations to her tutorials to her custom work. Nikki creates really unique and pretty pieces, and shares her story behind each design in her posts. As well, Nikki has an Etsy Shop where she makes and sells her own patterns!
We found Nikki’s blog and absolutely fell in love her design style and patterns! Scrolling through her blog, our eyes were quickly filled with lots pretty quilts and incredible embroidery work. We are so happy that we got the chance to work with Nikki on a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Nikki has created three custom projects for us, the first is her Octagon Pillow which is very geometrically pleasing and showcases a collection wonderfully, such as our Mixology prints.
As well, she created her Diamond Cut Pillow for us which has a lovely “window”-like effect, which a diamond middle. We love it with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection. Finally, her Diamonds Quilt is like the quilt version of the Diamond Cut Pillow and we are loving the gradient effect it has with our Spectrum Collection.
We want to thank Nikki for the amazing partnership and the incredible projects! We are so honored to have worked with you thus far, and cannot wait for what is to come. You can check out all of Nikki’s projects on our website! As well, be sure to check out more from Nikki at her blog, Etsy Shop, Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!! :)
