Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day! Did you see yesterday’s Winsday post? Enter to win 3 yards of our soft and cuddly Bambino fabric!

On to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a lovely Australian-based online pattern shop, Tadah! Patterns. Tadah! Patterns evolved from Lauren Harris’ (owner and creative behind the brand!) love for sewing and want of creating clothing that is both comfortable and beautiful for little ones to wear. She loves timeless styles, with a modern twist, which she uses as influences in her patterns. She is passionate about sewing, which definitely can be seen in her gorgeous, easy-to-follow patterns. Her goal is to design patterns that fun to sew, but that result in professional quality garments.

One of Lauren’s latest patterns is the Tea Party Dress. The Tea Party Dress pattern is a darling little dress, that includes over 190 unique combinations – from sleeve, neckline, skirt length, skirt type, accessories, and more! The Tea Party Dress pattern allows for you to customize the perfect dress for your little one, whether it be for a day to the park or for a wedding! Additionally, the pattern includes sizes from 6 months to 8 years old, and is great for medium-skilled sewers.

Laura of LauraCreates, sewed a version of the Tea Part Dress for her daughter, Harriet, during pattern testing with our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham Collection. This dress features a full skirt, half-cap sleeves, and a scoop back. Her little one looks oh-so precious in her new party dress, and she is ready to dazzle and dance!

Too adorable, right? Thank you for choosing our fabric, Laura!! You can find the pattern for the Tea Party Dress here, as well as more from Laura on her Instagram. Have a great rest of the day!!

Happy Sewing!

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our absolute favorite quilting magazines, Love Patchwork & Quilting. Full of modern projects and fabulous color inspiration, Love Patchwork & Quilting is bringing on a new wave to the quilting world. No longer a hobby that is seen as “uncool”, quilting has definitely taken a new direction into being a fun, fresh, and creative craft. There is so much that can be created in quilting – not just your standard square patchworks – and Love Patchwork & Quilting is the place to find that inspiration. Based in the UK, this modern quilting magazine features favorite fabric collections, unique project patterns, and so much more!

Love Patchwork & Quilting has featured our fabrics in a couple of their issues – it’s always fun finding our fabric, like a mini “where’s waldo?”. In their holiday issue, they featured our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection in their “Love Fabric” section. It was so wonderful seeing the beautiful pink and mint-inspired spread. They included a little write-up on Peacock Garden, with love to the crisp color palette and the sweet peacock designs.

Thank you so much to Love Patchwork & Quilting for the amazing feature. We are so thrilled you continue to enjoy our fabrics! You can find more from Love Patchwork & Quilting on their website, Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Twitter. They’ve even got an app now. And with that, have a lovely day everyone!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a fantastic, restful weekend. We are SO ready to kick-off the first week of June. Wow, we can’t believe it’s June already – it feels like May has just come and gone…but that means we are getting closer to Summer!! :) Have you entered our Aurifil x Camelot Fabrics Giveaway yet? Be sure to ENTER for your chance to win a Penelope FQ Bundle and a coordinating Aurifil 12 Large Spool Case!!

Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are sharing a stunning and zesty collection by Jane Farnham for Spring 2014…Peacock Garden! This collection is bright and vibrant with its fun chartreuse, spearmint, royal blue, and pink color palette. And just as the name suggests, Peacock Garden includes pretty peacock-inspired designs with dainty peacock feathers and plumage décor. The colors and flora designs give this collection a very happy and playful feel, but at the same time very feminine and soft. We can imagine a lovely Farmer’s Market tote with Peacock Garden, as well as a fun summertime dress. This collection would be absolutely stunning as a quilt too!

For Spring, you can never go wrong with florals or pastel colors! And Jenny Packham’s Spring 2014 Collection suggests just that. Enthralled in pretty, muted shades of pinks, blues, and greens (with the fun pop of chartreuse!) this collection reminds us of our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection. We absolutely adore the mix of tones, the fluttering chiffons, and the incredible beaded work that Jenny used to create a fantastic, Edwardian-inspired fashion collection. We especially love this dress, which captures the wonderful flora essence of Peacock Garden. You can see the full collection here!

Be sure to check out our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection, and let us know which design is your favorite. We hope we had inspired you today with our Moody Monday. Have a great day! :)

Happy Sewing!

Time for another Spring 2014 Collection launch from the wonderful Jane Farnham!! Today we are sharing with you…Peacock Garden! We are so ready for Spring weather, and are so thrilled that it is slowly starting to feel as such here. Peacock Garden reminds us of all things we love most about the springtime – the fresh colors, the lovely colors, and the renewal of all things.

Peacock Garden is a whimsical, crisp collection of blues, greens, and rose. The prints are girly and playful, with the mix of pretty floral patterns and peacock feathers, all encapsulating an ethereal and majestic feel. Peacocks are absolutely stunning animals to look at, and we absolutely adore the play on their colors and royalty in this collection. We can imagine some sweet half-circle skirts for a little girl or a feathered tote bag in the warm blues and greens of Peacock Garden. What this collection says to us is that it’s time to plan a peacock-themed garden party,  complete with peacock straws, party sandwiches, and games!!

Be sure to check out all of our free projects featuring Peacock Garden here, here, here, here, here, and here. You see the full collection and all the playful prints here. We really hope you enjoy both of Jane Farnham’s collections for our Spring 2014 Collections – We have got more beautiful fabrics coming your way tomorrow, so stay tuned for more! :)
