Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day! Tomorrow is the first day of Spring Quilt Market – we’re busy setting up the booth, but can’t wait!! Come see at booth #101 :)

 

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous New Bohemian Quilt by Sarah Laws Made that we had made up for our Quilt Market booth. We thought it would be fun to share some sneak peeks here and there of the projects that will be at our booth…we’re also super excited about them and just couldn’t wait to share!! (haha) The New Bohemian Quilt is a free quilt pattern on our website, that was created by ever-so-talented pattern designer, Sarah Laws. She has a very modern and funky design style, which we absolutely adore!! She created this unique and fresh quilt pattern for us, and knew we had to feature it in our booth.

 

Stephanie Baldwin (one of our new faves!) is a quilter in Montreal, who we got into contact with from the Montreal Quilt Guild. It was so neat to meet such a sweet and talented quilter in Montreal. Stephanie was able to quilt the New Bohemian Quilt, featuring our Mixology prints, in a little over a week! Wow!! Her quilt work is also so clean and stunning… we are so impressed, and so in love with the quilt in person!  She also quilted another wall hanging quilt for us for our booth, which we’ll be sharing LOTS of pictures of!! (or, stop by our booth (#101) to check it out too hehe ;))

Thank you SO much Stephanie!! You ROCK!! We are so obsessed with the quilts, and cannot wait for people to “ooo” and “ahh” at them at the show. Stephanie doesn’t have a blog (yet!), but you can check out more from the Montreal Quilt Guild. If you are a quilter and living in Montreal, we definitely recommend checking it out! And with that, have a fantastic day!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! I hope you are all having a fabulous day!! Today is National Oatmeal Cookie Day…YUM! A soft oatmeal, chocolate chip (with walnuts & shredded coconut, if I’m feelin’ fancy haha) is my ideal cookie. And because it’s a national holiday, it’s only right that I eat one (or three), right? ;)

 

It’s Thursday, so you know what that means on the blog. It’s Thankful Thursday time!! Today we are featuring one of our pattern designers, Veronica Koh Eischeid of Veronica Made, Veronica designed a fabulous pillow pattern for us called Modern Cross. The pillow features a cool star-esque pattern in the middle – keeping it the focal point of the design. Mixing and matching different colours and patterns is what makes this pillow fun, and keeping the background neutral makes it pop! It is available as a free pattern on our website here.

 

One of the collections we will be showcasing at Spring Quilt Market is our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection, and thought the Modern Cross pillow would look fabulous with it. And we were definitely not wrong! The Modern Cross pillow’s look matches perfectly with our boho-inspired collection, and would look really good against a white couch. Veronica did such an awesome job bringing her Modern Cross pillow to life.

We want to thank Veronica for creating such a stunning pillow design for us, and for making it for us for Quilt Market. It’s going to look fab. You can find the PDF printout for Modern Cross on our website. Find more from Veronica at her blog and Etsy Shop. Have a lovely day!

Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is having a fantastical day!! Not sure if you saw yesterday’s post, but we’re hosting another Winsday! This week, we’re giving away a Sea Life FQB on our Facebook Page – so go enter now!! ;)

 

Saying some “thank yous” today with our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring another awesome quilt shop, Fabric Mill, who love Camelot Fabrics. Fabric Mill is a quilt shop located in Orem, Utah and has been up & running since 1972. They are a combination quilt shop and fabric store, so they are a one-stop shop for all of your quilting and sewing needs! As well, they have quilt kits, tutorials, and cool patterns available. Though they got their start in the 70s, they’re up-to-date with the latest fabric trends, love bright colors, and are big fans of social media.

 

One collection they particularly adore is our Wildflowers by Alisse Courter Collection, from Fall 2014. Wildflowers is our feminine floral collection of luscious pink, chartreuse, and grey hues. The floral patterns are ethereal and soft, and make for the perfect palette for a girly quilt or dress.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fabulous day. It’s National High Five Day, so here’s a high five from us haha! *virtual high five*

 

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday on the blog. Today we are featuring one of our favorite ribbon enthusiasts, May Arts Ribbon! May Arts Ribbon started out in the early 80s in Riverside, Connecticut, and is a family-owned and operated company. They started out by producing high-quality silk flowers that were decorated with pretty ribbons. The ribbons became such a big hit, that May Arts eventually became a dedicated ribbon wholesaler. They have now expanded their selection of beautiful ribbons, from lace to 100% silk to other fun trims & embellishments. We especially adore their pom-poms and scalloped trim! From their solid, bright colors to their funky patterns, we are such fans of May Arts’ ribbon selection – they’re great to pair with our fabric projects (…we’ll be sharing some with you soon!).

We decided to do a fun, crafty swap with May Arts Ribbon! They recently posted a lovely Vintage Style Apron tutorial, featuring their ribbon and our Folklore Collection – and we adore it! Charlene Driggs created this easy apron tutorial for the May Arts Ribbon blog, a project that any leveled sewer could master and have fun with. The hardest part comes from choosing a favorite fabric and ribbon, and from there – a bit of sewing and you’re done! In the end, you’ll have a super cute apron – with an adorable bow detail – for your next cooking or baking adventure. Love this one! You can find the full, free tutorial on their blog.

Thanks so much, May Arts Ribbon, for the awesome tutorial and for sharing. We can’t wait to share what we’ve got planned with our new ribbon! Have an awesome day, everyone. I know I will…psst. it’s my birthday ;) hehe
