Time for this week’s What We Love ♥ Officially into our first week of Spring, it’s all about new beginning and changes. Getting out of our cocoons, removing all our layers, and bringing out the Spring dresses. We can hear the birds chirping, the snow is finally melting, and it’s giving us that extra spring in our step. Inspired by pastel colors, Easter (which is coming up next week!), and ___, this is what we’ve been loving most this week…

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is having an awesome day so far!! Did you know we’re giving away our Coraline FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page? Spring-inspired, be sure to head on over there to enter!

 

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our absolute favorite quilting magazines, Love Patchwork & Quilting. Full of modern projects and fabulous color inspiration, Love Patchwork & Quilting is bringing on a new wave to the quilting world. No longer a hobby that is seen as “uncool”, quilting has definitely taken a new direction into being a fun, fresh, and creative craft. There is so much that can be created in quilting – not just your standard square patchworks – and Love Patchwork & Quilting is the place to find that inspiration. Based in the UK, this modern quilting magazine features favorite fabric collections, unique project patterns, and so much more!

Love Patchwork & Quilting has featured our fabrics in a couple of their issues – it’s always fun finding our fabric, like a mini “where’s waldo?”. In their holiday issue, they featured our Peacock Garden by Jane Farnham collection in their “Love Fabric” section. It was so wonderful seeing the beautiful pink and mint-inspired spread. They included a little write-up on Peacock Garden, with love to the crisp color palette and the sweet peacock designs.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all are having a wonderful day!! You know we like to inform y’all on the daily things that matter lol, like it being International Waffle Day today ;) Our idea of the perfect waffle is crispy, but warm and soft on the inside, topped with fresh fruit…and lots of syrup for drenching. Oh, yes!

 

It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means…time for another Winsday!! Today we are giving away our Coraline FQ Bundle – a sweet and feminine collection of coral, grey, and navy hues. This is also our first Spring giveaway, so we wanted to choose a collection to bring us into the new season.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are having a lovely day. We forgot to mention that yesterday was National Puppy Day, and wanted to give a shout-out to our favorite little snuggles. We adore you!

 

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program, our Crossroads Quilt by Harding Hill Designs. Crossroads is an intricate, but stunning quilt design that is composed of a multitude of half square triangles (HSTs) sewn together. Together they intertwine to create an absolutely beautiful “cross” design, the centerpiece of the whole quilt. Because of the complexity of Crossroads, it would be a showstopper as a bed quilt or wall design. All the intricate work would be absolutely worth it. Promise. As well, it looks amazing with our vivacious Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend; the first weekend of Spring! We’ve been hit with a couple of super cold days, but we’re hoping it’s just the last of them.

 

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Zoey Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, from our Winter 2015 Launch. Zoey is a beautifully feminine collection of soft blue, mint, and peach hues in paisley, floral, and lattice prints. So delicate and pretty, our Zoey Collection would be the perfect compliment to a feminine bedroom or living space. We can imagine some lovely Zoey throw pillows, billowy curtains, and a soft peach-grey quiltto match. As well, have brunch (with mimosas, of course!) with your girlfriends in a Zoey tea dress – and you’ll be extra chic and fabulous!

Dior’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection gives a whole new meaning to “girly with a futuristic edge”. Mixing clean-cut shapes with feminine colors & prints, Dior’s Spring Collection features their classic 50s silhouettes but with a twist – full skirts with capes, pretty florals with cutout tanks, culottes with pastel cocoon jackets. We absolutely adore the juxtaposition of using different style genres! We’re loving this outfit, reminiscent of a print in our Zoey Collection.

 

You can check out the full Zoey Collection here. We hope we’ve inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday… Have a great day!

 

 

 

 

Happy Sewing!
