Hi everyone!
Happy Thursday! We hope you are all having a fantastic day so far. We’re hosting another Winsday this week on our Facebook Page. This week, we are giving away our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection and want to know what makes you shine. Head on over there to enter!
It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are sharing some pillows that amazing pattern designer, Kristy Daum, sewed up for us! Kristy is the voice and creator behind the blog St. Louis Folk Victorian, where she shares her latest quilting creations and fabric finds. We found her blog, fell in love with her projects and style (a coworker had sent me a link to her Sherlock Quilt), and knew we had to chat! Her Elevation Pillow is available as a free pattern on our website, and is one of our absolute faves because of how much fun you can having, mixing & matching different patterns. The design creates a cool, “graph-like” design, and we like that the background is a solid, so that the middle stands out.
Kristy sewed two versions of her Elevation Pillow for us, one in our London Fog Collection and one in Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Look at how gorgeous they are? Kristy did an incredible job with the quilting too. These pillows would look fantastic tossed together on a day bed or as a big ol’ pile on the floor – comfy and pretty to look at! You can find the free pattern for Elevation here.
Thank you, Kristy, SO much for everything! You truly are a superstar haha. You’ll definitely be seeing lots more from Kristy coming up soon, so stay tuned!! You can check out more from Kristy on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And with that, have a great day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Echo Pillow Tutorial by Kristy Daum, from our Free Projects Program. Our Echo Pillow has an architectural feel to it, with the fabrics creating angular lines throughout. We love how the linear designs stand out against a more neutral background, to really give that pop of color to any space. We chose to feature Echo with our The Kitten’s Meow Collection, to showcase how versatile this pillow is. How adorable would this pillow look in a little girl’s room? Another fabulous design by one of our faves, Kristy!!

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! We hope you are having a lovely day. We forgot to mention that yesterday was National Puppy Day, and wanted to give a shout-out to our favorite little snuggles. We adore you!
Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program, our Crossroads Quilt by Harding Hill Designs. Crossroads is an intricate, but stunning quilt design that is composed of a multitude of half square triangles (HSTs) sewn together. Together they intertwine to create an absolutely beautiful “cross” design, the centerpiece of the whole quilt. Because of the complexity of Crossroads, it would be a showstopper as a bed quilt or wall design. All the intricate work would be absolutely worth it. Promise. As well, it looks amazing with our vivacious Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection!
This one is for all you enthused quilters!! Want to make your own Crossroads Quilt? Click MORE for the full instructions.

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are feeling great today. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Also, it’s the last day to enter our Scented FQ Bundle Giveaway, so be sure to check it out here if you haven’t yet.
It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our tutorial for our Fringed Wall Quilt by Made by Marion – an absolutely stunning quilt that is a work of art. We’ve used different fabric patterns in fun, geometric alignments to create an ornate and modern design, and the fringe adds that extra bit of oomph. Our fringed wall quilt is definitely nicely sized, and therefore would be a showstopper piece for that blank wall space “you don’t really know what to do with yet” ;)
It would also look fantastic above a bed or chest of drawers – wall decor at its finest! We’ve featured our fringed wall quilt with our Botanical Collection, and adore how rich and earthy the designs look together in the quilt.
Oh, isn’t it just beautiful? We’re obsessed!! Want to make your own Fringed Wall Quilt? Click MORE to see the full tutorial.

Hi everyone,
Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are doing wonderfully today. It’s been absolutely beautiful outside today – a high of 6 °C (oh my!). Here’s hoping for a continuous uphill in temperature!
Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our modern Slanted Wrap Wallet by Marion of Made by Marion. Our Slanted Wrap Wallet is a stunner, and features lovely binding details so you can choose different fabrics for each block. Our wrap wallet includes an attached loop, so it would also make for a great clutch, especially for a girl’s night out. Carry your essentials – cards, keys, phone, and lipgloss – and you are good to dance the night away! We chose to feature our Slanted Wrap Wallet in our London Fog Collection, and think it looks super sleek and fun!!
