Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fabulous day. We are hosting a new giveaway this week – our The Kitten’s Meow Collection. Let us know what you would create with our adorable collection for a chance to win!

 

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous quilt pattern designed by Nicole Maroon of The Girl Who Quilts. The Diamonds Quilt is a lovely quilt pattern, featuring columns of octagon and diamond shapes. Each block features a different pattern, and the outline allows for a beautiful gradient effect of colors.

We love the idea of sticking to a synonymous color palette, such as the sea-inspired blue and green hues of our Zoey collection, so as to keep a harmonious look. We chose the grey SKUs from Zoey to create the bordered ombre effect; dark to light to dark again, and LOVE how it turned out. Nicole of The Girl Who Quilts designed this modern quilt pattern for us, and also quilted it for our Spring Quilt Market booth. It is such a pretty pattern digitally, but seeing it in person – it is a stunner!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday!! I hope you all are having a fabulous day. And just in case you’re looking for an excuse to eat some sweet stuff today (we always are haha ;)), it’s National Strawberry Parfait Day! Yummm.

 

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our gorgeous quilt patterns, designed by Marta of From Marta With Love. Marta’s modern and fun quilt pattern features boho-inspired arrow details that go both vertically and horizontally. It creates such a cool look, while keeping the rest of the quilt neutral, to really make the arrow designs pop. This quilt pattern would work with a multitude of different fabric collections, but we just love it in our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham collection.

One of our display sections at this Spring’s Quilt Market was Gypsy Lane. We wanted a standout quilt design to feature this bold and whimsical collection, and knew Chevron Arrows was the winner. Another of our pattern designers Nikki Maroon of The Quilt Who Quilts and her mum, were able to quilt it for us, and did an incredible job. Just look at the quilting work on this quilt? We were speechless when we saw it in person. Absolutely stunning.

Thank you so much, Nikki and mom, for helping us out for Quilt Market. We are so in love with our Chevron Arrows Quilt, and are so blessed to work with such incredibly, talented people. Be sure to check out more from Nikki on her blog. She is such a quilting pro. If you’d like to make your own Chevron Arrows, it’s also available as a free pattern on our website. And with that, have an awesome day!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic afternoon!! It’s Father’s Day this weekend, so here’s to all the incredibly strong and supportive dads – we appreciate you so much!

 

Time for this week’s Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a super pretty quilt done by Nicole of byLerina. Nicole started her shop in December 2013, when she truly discovered for love for sewing and its craft. She created byLerina, on Facebook and now as an independent website that is coming soon. She sews and features adorable children’s clothing, for little girls and boys, as well as fun accessories and quilts. Nicole designed a precious, little girl’s quilt as a baptism gift – for a girl named Emma. We are so obsessed!

She chose our Fairyville by Heather Rosas as the main fabric collection. It was the perfect girly and playful color palette for this quilt, and we adore how she wrote “Emma” and her birthday on it. Such a touching quilt and gift!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! Did you enter our #Winsday yet? Jackie McFee is hosting a Heavy Metal FQB Giveaway on her Pinterest, so head on over to enter!! :)

 

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous quilt pattern that Susan of Swirly Girls Design created for us, for our Free Projects Program. Her Flying High Quilt is a playful and modernistic quilt pattern, with equilateral triangles creating a neat “flying high” design(almost like geese!). The tiered triangles are a whimsical statement on a quilt design, and you can have fun with different color palettes & patterns.

The Kitten’s Meow was one of the fabric collections we chose to feature at this Spring’s Quilt Market, and we featured Flying High. Susan was able to quilt it for us too, and we even got to meet her at Quilt Market! What a pleasure! Susan is such a talented quilter and pattern designer, and we are so happy that we have gotten to work with her! The Flying High quilt was the perfect backdrop for our The Kitten’s Meow section at the booth – one of the crowd favorites too!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone’s day is going awesome-ly!! :)

 

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our awesome quilt designers who recently launched a new quilting book. Jessie Kurtz of Harding Hill Designs, who designed our beautiful Crossroads Quilt, released her new book at Spring Quilt Market: One Block Remix – 10 Fresh Quilts from One Traditional Block.

 

The book, available in her Etsy Shop, features quilts that use a traditional 2-1/2″ strip block, but modernized into fun and different quilts, ranging from crib-sized to king. Such a brilliant concept, using the same block to make unique quilts. We were happy to send Jessie some fabric for her quilts, and love how they turned out!

The first is her Downtown Criss Cross Quilt, which features our Rise & Shine Collection. We love how the blues and yellows pop against the solid black! The second quilt featuring Camelot Fabrics is her Uptown Turnaround Quilt, with Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Who knew equilateral triangles could be so fun!!

Congratulations on the book launch, Jessie! We are so glad to be a part of it. All of the quilt designs are just stunning!!  You can find Jessie’s book on her Etsy Shop, as well as lots more from her on her blog, Facebook, and Instagram. Have a fabulous rest of the day!

 

 

 

 

Happy Sewing!
