Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you are all having an amazing day so far. We’re hosting a Flannel FQB Giveaway this week, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter.

Sharing this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our awesome quilt shops, Nana’s Quilt Cottage in Colorado Springs. Nana’s Quilt Cottage is a local, family owned quilt shop filled with lots of modern & pretty fabrics, project patterns, and notions. As well, they offer wonderful sewing classes, with a range in skill levels to be taught. Among the many fantastic teachers at Nana’s Quilt Cottage, is Nikki Rainey who joined nana in business in 2014. One of the bag patterns in their shop features our Paradise collection, which creates an absolutely stunning bag – featuring a fun bow detail! We love the Paradise prints that were chosen to create this stylish tote.

You can find the bag pattern, as well as the fabric to go with it, at Nana’s Quilt Cottage and on their Instagram! We adore this bag so much, we may even need to make one for ourselves… Thanks, Nikki & everyone else at Nana’s Quilt Cottage! Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! Today is National Lemonade Day, and what a perfect day for it to be… a cool, refreshing glass of lemonade is just what we need on this hot day!

It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! One of the coolest “retail shop” ideas we’ve seen… we bring to you Trailer Stash Fabrics! Just as the name suggests, this fabric shop is housed in a restored, Vintage 1963 Shasta 1900 Deluxe Travel Trailer. It doesn’t get any more awesome than that! Owner, Gina Allen, also has an Etsy Shop that she sells fabric and quilt kits. But a couple of times a month, Gina will stock up her trailer with her favorite fabrics, and head to different pop-up sales & sewing workshops.

She will also create quilt samples to showcase the fabrics on her trailer… and most recently, she had one created with one of our fabrics… and with one of our free quilt patterns! She chose our Crossroads by Jessie Kurtz quilt pattern, with our bright and fun Paradise Collection by Alisse Courter. It looks absolutely stunning, even before it has been quilted!

She also had one created with our Darling Collection, using our Plus Sized Free Quilt Pattern.

The quilt pattern is available on our website here, and you can also find complete quilt kits at her Etsy Shop. Thank you so much, Gina, for the fabric and quilt pattern love!! Be sure to check out Trailer Stash Fabrics, to see where she may be headed next. Have an awesome day!

Happy Sewing!

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!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are have a fabulous day. It’s a little chilly here today, but the sun is out and bright!

Sharing our Thankful Thursday for this week! Today we are featuring one of our fellow creatives, Silhouette America. Silhouette America is the makers of one of the crafting industry’s favorite electronic cutting system. They offer a multitude of different machines for personal preference and usage, as well as thousands of electronic designs  to choose from. Crafting, scrapbooking, and creating has never so easy – or so fun! 

As well, they work with some lovely sewing people who create unique projects for their blog. We sent them some of our felt for projects, and were super excited when we saw these. Martha, from the blog The Art in Martha, designed these adorable Build-a-Monster Felt Puppets with our hard felt and her Silhouette machine. It’s a friendly craft project to do with kids, as they can have fun choosing which “eyes”, “nose”, and “mouth” they want. As fun and easy as that, you’ll now have your happy felt monster puppets to play with!

Thank you so much, Silhouette America and Martha, for the super awesome project. We’re so glad you enjoyed creating with our felt! You can find the full tutorial for Martha’s felt puppets on the Silhouette America blog. Have a grrrrrreat day! ;)

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day – Happy #FriendshipDay!! As well, if you haven’t entered our Magnolia FQ Bundle Giveaway yet, be sure to check it out here.

Thankful Thursday time!! Today we are featuring an adorable little ballerina doll that we had sewn up for our Spring Quilt Market, featuring our Heavy Metal Collection. Kara Orr, an incredible sewer and friend of Pattern Revolution‘s, sewed a couple of projects for us for our booth, including Briella the Ballerina (that’s what we named her hehe). The pattern is from the retromama pattern shop which features a bun hairstyle, little ballerina shoes, and a full tutu. She just dazzled in our Heavy Metal collection. The crinoline skirt & gold ribbon that Kara added were the perfect touches; she did such an incredible job bringing her to life!

Kara, thank you for bringing Brielle to life for us – she is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!! Everyone absolutely adored her at Quilt Market. Stay tuned for the other projects Kara made for us – you are wonderful. Have an awesome day!

Happy Sewing!
