Welcome!

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!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. We are halfway into the work week, and we received a lovely surprise last night. Snow!! And not just any kind of snow, but the best kind of snow to make snowmen and have snowball fights with. Oh, glorious white confetti! It’s unfortunately turning into slush this afternoon, but we’re crossing our fingers for more pretty white stuff soon!

It’s time to announce this week’s Winsday! We hosted our bi-weekly giveaway on our blog this week, and were so enthused by all the amazing people who participated. In the midst of Thanksgiving, we wanted to know what you were most thankful for this year…and we received the most heartfelt, “feel good” replies that truly made us smile. So thank YOU for making our days, by sharing your wonderful stories and memories with us.

The prize is our Spectrum FQ bundle this week, a collection that is sure to brighten the lucky winner’s day!! We used good ol’ random.org to choose the winner, and the lucky gal is…

Congratulations, Beth Sebastian! We are so excited for you!! We really hope you enjoy playing and creating with our bundle of joy. And a huge thank you to everyone who participated – we appreciate it more than you know! Stay tuned for our next #Winsday…

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a good day so far. We cannot believe that there are 48 days until Christmas!! So excited for everything – the pretty decorations, the shopping, the gift wrapping, the food. Ah, we can’t wait! :)

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, and today we are thanking one of our incredible pattern designers. Nikki Maroon is the crafty gal behind the blog, The Girl Who Quilts, a name that perfectly embodies who she is. The Girl Who Quilts is all about Nikki’s quilting adventures, from her latest quilt creations to her tutorials to her custom work. Nikki creates really unique and pretty pieces, and shares her story behind each design in her posts. As well, Nikki has an Etsy Shop where she makes and sells her own patterns!

We found Nikki’s blog and absolutely fell in love her design style and patterns! Scrolling through her blog, our eyes were quickly filled with lots pretty quilts and incredible embroidery work. We are so happy that we got the chance to work with Nikki on a couple of projects for our Free Projects Program. Nikki has created three custom projects for us, the first is her Octagon Pillow which is very geometrically pleasing and showcases a collection wonderfully, such as our Mixology prints.

As well, she created her Diamond Cut Pillow for us which has a lovely “window”-like effect, which a diamond middle. We love it with our Sea Life by Heather Rosas Collection. Finally, her Diamonds Quilt is like the quilt version of the Diamond Cut Pillow and we are loving the gradient effect it has with our Spectrum Collection.

We want to thank Nikki for the amazing partnership and the incredible projects! We are so honored to have worked with you thus far, and cannot wait for what is to come. You can check out all of Nikki’s projects on our website! As well, be sure to check out more from Nikki at her blog, Etsy Shop, Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It’s Victoria Day here in Canada, so we’re enjoying the long weekend. The weather has been absolutely pristine….and we have an extra day to enjoy it! :) Oh, have you entered our Chalkboard Fabric & Chalk Markers Giveaway yet? You can enter here! The giveaway ends tomorrow.

To start off our week, we have our Moody Monday! Because we launched our Spring 2014 Collections last week, we are continuing the trend by talking a bit more about each one. Today we are going to share and inspire you with our Spectrum Collection by Camelot Design Studio. When we think of a perfectly crisp Summer day complete with a pretty frock, a bike ride to the farmer’s market, and some freshly squeezed lemonade…that is what Spectrum exudes to us! The citrus-inspired hues of tangerine, lemon, lavender, and mint green makes us crave a cool, summer drink! Spectrum is bright, vibrant, and happy…and you can’t help but feel that way too when creating a project or wearing a piece using this collection.

With Spring officially here, we are bringing out our favorite Summer dresses and playsuits! We are so excited not having to bundle up into a thick scarf and down coat anymore. One collection that reminds us of Spectrum is Nina Ricci’s Spring 2014 RTW collection. Complete with citrus-infused colors (yellows, oranges, and grapefruit) and playful silhouettes, we absolutely adore this one.

Ricci’s collection is a mixture of texture and strong colors; exquisite ruffle details, delicate eyelet, pretty tweed, and playful print combinations make this collection reminiscent of a summer in the Hamptons! We especially love this outfit, as well as this one, and this one. You can see the full collection here! Be sure to check out all the designs of our Spectrum Collection, and let us know your favorites! We hope we have inspired you today :)

Happy Sewing!
