Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an amazing one.

Remember our Moody Monday blog?  I mentioned I wanted to make a special quilt for my sister in law who loves Mickey Mouse?  As I am sure many of you are going to have to make a quilt featuring the Mickey Mouse & Friends  collection. I thought it would be best to have the quilt featured in today’s How To’s Day.

The quilt pattern is from one of our quilt designers, Christa Watson of Christa Quilts. The Herringbone Quilt is a very classic and clean design.  Christa has great tips to help you make the quilt on her blog, including how to work with directional fabric!  We love this post because it really helps fine-tune the details of a finished quilt’s look.

You can check out the free printable PDF of this quilt pattern on our website. We hope you enjoy!

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend and that you were able to get some time to craft or sew.

On to our Moody Monday!

On Sundays, I try to get my kids out of the city for a hike in the woods.  Yesterday we traded the hike for a meal in a Sugar Shack.  After the meal our kids were begging us to go home to their electronics, but as we were walking on the premises, we noticed that they offered horseback rides.  It was quite a surprise to see my kids mesmerized by these gracious animals.  It didn’t take too much convincing to get them to go for their very first ride.  When they got back, I noticed that the horse had a calming effect and I finally realized why so many people love horses.

This is why I have chosen to feature our Equestrian collection by our in house design Studio on our Moody Monday blog. Horse lovers will definitely want to get their hands on this collection to make crisp cotton shirts and kerchiefs.  And perhaps a tote or quilt?

Be sure to check out the full collection of Equestrian in your local quilt shop.  Click here to find the one nearest your home.

Let us know what you think of the collection and what you would make with it!  We would love to see what you have made so send us a picture for our Fan Friday blog!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! YAY – we’re ready for the weekend! Wishing you all a great Valentine’s Day – hearts and love all ’round!

Ending our week with one of our loves… Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a super fun, Clamshell Baby Quilt by Serena Bean Quilt – featuring our Spectrum collection. We absolutely adore how she mixed the orange, mint, and blue prints together to create such a vibrant and playful look, almost like a scenic view of the sunset amidst the mountains. So gorgeous!

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Serena. The quilt is just stunning! You can find more from Serena on her Instagram and blog. Have a lovely weekend!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovey day.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! New year, new beautiful quilts to be discovered!! Today we are sharing a gorgeous quilt pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co. – Broken Bars! A version of the Broken Bars Quilt was created by Cristina Tepsick from Pretty Little Quilts. The quilt design reminded her of rows of books, and from that inspiration, created a Jane Austen-inspired color scheme with our Magnolia by Alisse Courter collection. She followed Jenny’s tutorial pretty much to a “t”, but changed the sizes of the strips to give an authentic bookshelf feel. We love her version, and how she even added strips of horizontal pieces to reference a real book’s spine. The Broken Bars quilt is such a great one, and we adore how Cristina revamped it! What a fantastic tutorial reboot.

Thank you to Jenny and everyone at Missouri Star Quilt Co. for the awesome free pattern, and to Cristina for choosing our fabric for her revamp. If you’d like to check out the tutorial reboot, you can click here. They’re also giving away a bundle of our Magnolia collection, so be sure to enter. Have an amazing rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Time for our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Seeing Stars Quilt by Nancy Purvis of Owen’s Olivia. Seeing Stars is a gorgeous, modern quilt design that looks like glowing stars in the sky. Especially with our In the Navy by Jackie McFee collection – the little bits of metallic gold fabric makes the stars sparkle! This quilt would be perfect for added some sparkle to a bedroom or living room space.
