Welcome!

in Portland, OR

What a trip! The show was full of inspiration, as always, and our heads are still spinning a bit. Before we lose that after-show-glow, here’s a quick recap of booth highlights from Portland.

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Have you entered our Winter Wonderland Giveaway yet? Be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a couple of quilts done for us by Vicki of Orchid Owl Quilts. Vicki is truly a quilting goddess, and we adore working with her! We are kind of obsessed with her Instagram too – she’s always posting something new and beautiful – we recommend all quilters to check it out! One quilt she did for us was our Box Trot Quilt, with our Mickey Mouse and Friends collection. We love how the primary colors in this collection just pop. especially with the black borders around alternating rectangles. It perfectly brought together our whole Mickey Mouse and Friends section!

The other quilt she did for us was the Crossroads Quilt, featured in our Nordic section. This quilt is definitely very intricate – especially with all the little, alternating triangles – and Vicki did such a fantastic job. It was a stunning backdrop to our Nordic palette chair. So cozy and warm!

Thank you so much for helping us for our Fall Quilt Market booth, and for just being your awesome self Vicki. Be sure to check out more from Vicki on her blog and Instagram. And with that, have a lovely rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. Today is Let’s Hug Day, so sending all of your all a virtual hug :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are sharing a couple of projects from our Quilt Market booth, sewed by the wonderful Shannon Fraser of sf.designs. The first is a stunning Whimsical Quilt, with our The Alchemy Collection: Indigo by the Camelot Design Studio. The blue hues of Alchemy gave a playful look to the whimsy-inspired quilt design.

Our Flourish by Ciana Bodini collection stood out in the best way, with our Saybrook Pillow. The gorgeous blue and mint hues popped, especially next to the clean white space. What a wonderful pillow to decorate a neutral living room!

And last, but never the least, our Peaks & Valleys Table Runner was a great choice with our Mickey Mouse & Friends collection. The white space allowed for the primary colors in this collection to be the star of the table runner. We adore how Mickey Mouse & the gang add a warm, nostalgic feel too. So sweet!!

Thank you to Shannon, for making these amazing projects for us, for our Quilt Market booth! You helped us make our booth a great success this year!! Have an amazing day, everyone :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Chilly, gloomy, mid-November day… but it’s almost the weekend! ;)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a couple of projects we had sewn for our Fall Quilt Market booth. One of our favorite quilters, and fellow Montrealer, Stephanie Baldwin quilted one quilt and sewed two bags for our booth. And, as always, Stephanie did an a-MAZ-ing job. The two bags were done with our new Flourish by Ciana Bodini collection, a gorgeous green and pink floral collection. The first is the Sienna Tote by  lbg studio. We chose the darker floral for the body, which contrasted nicely with the mint green gingham handles and bottom. The other bag is the Della Wallet Clutch by Swoon Patterns. We love how pretty this clutch came out, and would make for a perfect Christmas gift!

As well, Stephanie quilted our Cracker Lattice Quilt with our With Love by Jack!e McFee collection. We had never seen the physical version of the quilt, so we were especially excited to see this one. The pink and tan heart & floral prints worked wonderfully in this quilt design… we always love Stephanie’s quilting! It was the perfect backdrop to our With Love section.

Thank you SO much, Stephanie, for creating such stunning projects for our Fall Quilt Market booth. We are always so ecstatic to see the projects you sew for us (almost as exciting as Christmas morning)! If you want to make your own With Love/Cracker Lattice quilt – click here for the free pattern. Have a marvelous rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day! Today is National Doughnut Appreciation Day… so get to appreciating and have a doughnut! ;)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our lovely sewers who made some projects for our Fall Quilt Market booth, Denita Walker of HattieLu Handmade. Denita is a sewing and fabric enthusiast, who shares her latest creations on her blog and has an Etsy Shop to sell her goodies. We were connected with Denita as a Pattern Revolution contributor, and had an amazing time working with this lovely gal. She sewed two projects for our booth – the first, a stylish two-piece dress – the Vanamo Dress by Named – with our Nordic Collection. It was truly a stand-out piece in our Nordic section, and our “Val” mannequin was rockin’ it!

Denita also sewed the super cool London Backpack by UpCraftClub with our new The Alchemy: Indigo Collection. We adore the vegan leather she chose, which is a perfect compliment to the blue hues of the Alchemy prints.

Thank you so much for being such an incredible person to work with, Denita!! Our booth was fabulous, and we have you to thank for that. Have a fantastic rest of the day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
