Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend!! We had lots of unfortunate rain and wind… ready for Spring! ;)

And speaking of springtime, if we can’t change Mother Nature’s mind… let us be inspired by today’s Moody Monday. Today we are sharing our Bonne Nuit collection, a cozy and sweet collection of muted blue, grey, and pink hues. This collection is full of adorable sleeping bears, fluffy skies, and glowing stars – so wonderful and dreamy! So perfect for a little newborn’s nursery or as a quilt to snuggle up with on a cold, wintery night.

Mara Hoffman’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection was flowy, boho-inspired, and oh-so dreamy. The 70’s were definitely a big influence in this collection, with the jumpsuits, hairstyle, off-the-shoulder details, and maxi skirts. The color scheme was very floral and nature-inspired, bold brights against a neutral background. One of our favorites was this outfit; the sheer, star-infused look was very reminiscent of our Bonne Nuit collection. Adore!

We hope we have inspired you with today’s look. We’d love to know what you think! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day. Have you entered our A Marsala Moment FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter here!

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of the many wonderful projects we had sewn for our Spring Quilt Market booth. Carrie Burnett of Beri Bee Designs sewed a clutch with our Elixir collection, using the In a Clutch Cosmetic Case pattern by SewStitchingHappy. We loved the simplicity of the clutch pattern, and wanted to feature our feminine orchid hues from Elixir in a chic way. We chose our orchid ikat print for the clutch’s body, complimented by the orchid honeycomb print for the top trim. The cosmetic case turned out beautifully; the perfect pop of color to have in your handbag.

Thank you so much, Carrie, for sewing this clutch for us for our Quilt Market booth. It looked wonderful in the Elixir section! You can find more from Carrie on her Facebook, where she creates and sews children’s clothing and accessories. Have a fabulous rest of the day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. To all our Americans, hope you had an amazing 4th of July weekend! :)

Starting off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Skylanders Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Skylanders is an interactive video game series that brings “toys to life”. Characters based on eight elemental categories – earth, magic, air, fire, water, life, teach, and undead – go through different adventures in the land of Skylands to defend their world from varying threats. The ultimate goal is protect the world of Skylands from “Kaos”, as the Skylanders want to maintain peace & balance in their world. Good over evil – very cool theme for a game, we think. Three additional series have since been introduced, as well as three new elements known as the Trap team (kaos, light, and dark). Our Skylanders Collection is a representation of the game that many gamers enjoy – from the beloved Skylanders characters to the bright blues & yellows, this is a really fun collection!

Diane Von Furstenberg’s Spring 2013 collection was elegant and classy, just as the designer herself. Splashes of blues and orange made this collection feel like summertime, like sipping on a orange julep by the water. There was a wonderful flow to every outfit, with lightweight fabrics of silk and chiffon to drape around the models. But of course, even with a summer-inspired collection, there was an effortless elegance and femininity to each piece. And of course, we can’t forget her infamous wrap dresses! We especially loved this jumpsuit, that was powerful and gorgeous, especially with the metallic belt. Another stunning collection from DVF!

We hope you have enjoyed today’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what summer trends you are excited about. Any fun colours you’re excited to wear? Let us know. Have a relaxing rest of the 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!

Thank you for the fabric love, Nicole. We are so happy you enjoyed sewing with our Fairyville collection. We hope Emma loves her new quilt! You can find more from Nicole on her Facebook Page, Instagram, and website. Have an incredible weekend everyone!!

Happy Sewing!

Today we are sharing our What We Love #53 ♥ We’re always looking for inspiration wherever we travel, which hasn’t been a difficult task with the summertime weather. A trip to the farmer’s market is just bursting with inspiration, from the colorful fresh fruit & veggies, vibrant cut flowers, and delicious sweets (hellooo gelato!). With the warmer months, we’ve also been loving the summer trends – airy dresses and shorter tresses are some of our faves. See what else has been inspiring us this week… ♥
