We are so excited for the premiere of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie! And, in celebration of #ForceFriday this week, we will be sharing our “Week of Star Wars Projects” – featuring super cool fan projects made with our classic Star Wars fabric.

Who is you favorite Star Wars character? “My favorite character is Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi.  And I love that I can watch Star Wars with my whole family and see my kids fall in love with it as much as I did as a kid.”

Why do you love Star Wars? “The reason I love the Star Wars saga is because anyone can connect with it. Young children are introduced to an exciting space adventure in a galaxy far, far away, as well as colorful action scenes between the Empire and the Republic. Adults may find themselves identifying with the struggles of each character, Dark Side or Light. It is easy to find ones-self identifying with a character from the Star Wars universe because there is a complete spectrum of character types. Whether one feels as regal as Princess Leia or as romantically aloof as Han Solo, as cuddly as Chewbacca or as robotic as R2-D2, there’s someone for everyone. It’s hard to choose just one, but my all-time favorite character has got to be C-3PO. He is so effortlessly funny, and don’t get me started about always getting to wear GOLD!”

Who is your favorite Star Wars character? “Really tough but if I have to pick Anikin/Darth Vader”

Thank you to the three wonderfully talented ladies who let us share their Star Wars creations! We are so ready for Force Friday. So much more to share!! Let the countdown begin…

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day so far. If there’s a food holiday, you know we’re going to share about it. Today happens to be National Chocolate Chip Day. Well I guess we’ll have to eat some chocolate chip cookies then, in doing our part to celebrate the day ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a beautiful tutorial for our Box Trot Quilt, designed by the incredibly talented Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. The box-like pieces in our Box Trot Quilt are perfect for highlighting a multitude of different fabric patterns, overall giving a very fun and whimsical look. Each “box” is bordered, which we chose to keep neutral and uniform with the background in the quilt below. We chose to feature our Beach House by Jack!e McFee collection, mixing the coral and tide colorways for a relaxing ocean feel. We love how the bright colors pop against the white background; such a modern and feminine quilt!

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.

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a terrific day so far. If you haven’t seen yet, we are hosting a new #Winsday on our Facebook Page. We are giving away an FQ bundle of our Scented fabrics, and want to know what your favorite scent is!

It’s Thankful Thursday time! Today we are featuring Crafts Direct – a fantastic craft store in Minnesota, that has been around since 1990 and growing! Crafts Direct is composed of distinct sections dedicated to all of your crafting needs, and when we say all, we mean it (haha). They have a quilt shop, floral shop, scrapbook shop, seasonal shop, wood & paint shop, and rubber stamps shop. Yup, they basically have it all – a place where the whole family can visit and find something they’ll enjoy! And that definitely makes sense, as family is super important to Crafts Direct – it’s a family-owned business that has grown from 15 to 120 employees.

And, once you’ve spent the day mesmerized by all the crafting deliciousness, they also have a coffee shop for a shopping break. Crafts Direct is also expanded to online, where they share unique projects and tutorials on their blog, featuring their favorite products. We absolutely love how dedicated and passionate Crafts Direct is, about their customers and products!

Crafts Direct created a couple of projects using our beloved ad-fab™ – our adhesive fabric, perfect for a bunch of awesome crafty projects! Crafts Direct shared some really fantastic ones, that we absolutely LOVE!! We wanted to share some of them with you, but there are lots more on their website and blog. All uber cute!!

Some of our favorites are their ad-fab™ Letter Tutorial (featured above with Dream a Little Dream), their ad-fab™ Covered Switch Plate Tutorial (featured above with Nightfall), and their ad-fab™ Wooden Spoon Collection Tutorial (featured in Hot Chocolate).

We definitely recommend checking out the Crafts Direct Pinterest for all of their ad-fab™ project tutorials, as well as their website, blog, Facebook Page, and Twitter. We want to say thank you to everyone at Crafts Direct; we absolutely adore all of the projects and are so happy you enjoy crafting with our ad-fab™! You can check out all our ad-fab™ designs here. Have an awesome day!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

It’s time for our How To’s Day! Today we are sharing one of our projects from our Free Projects Program. One of our pattern designers, Kristy Daum, created a beautiful quilted pillow pattern for us called Around the Block. Create a couple of these pillows to add a pretty and modern flair to any bedroom or living space, and you will be living in a comfortable paradise! We love our Elixir Collection with this pillow too, the collection that we just so happen to be giving away this week! As usual, Kristy created an easy to work with and beautiful pillow pattern for us…thank you, Kristy :)
