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… ♥

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! Did you enter our #Winsday yet? Jackie McFee is hosting a Heavy Metal FQB Giveaway on her Pinterest, so head on over to enter!! :)
Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a gorgeous quilt pattern that Susan of Swirly Girls Design created for us, for our Free Projects Program. Her Flying High Quilt is a playful and modernistic quilt pattern, with equilateral triangles creating a neat “flying high” design(almost like geese!). The tiered triangles are a whimsical statement on a quilt design, and you can have fun with different color palettes & patterns.
The Kitten’s Meow was one of the fabric collections we chose to feature at this Spring’s Quilt Market, and we featured Flying High. Susan was able to quilt it for us too, and we even got to meet her at Quilt Market! What a pleasure! Susan is such a talented quilter and pattern designer, and we are so happy that we have gotten to work with her! The Flying High quilt was the perfect backdrop for our The Kitten’s Meow section at the booth – one of the crowd favorites too!
Thank you, Susan, for designing such a beautiful quilt pattern for our Free Projects Program, and for quilting it for us. You ROCK!! Make your own Flying High quilt here – with the free PDF printout! You can find more from Susan at her website here. And with that, have an amazing day!
Happy Sewing!

Sharing our What We Love for this week ♥ Feeling an ocean-inspired vibe in the office lately, maybe because it has been pretty rainy and gloomy… Sea blues and sunny yellows have been a color theme on our Pinterest board this week, from stunning Elysian blue & white interior spaces to an adorable “lemon riding a bicycle” print. Because, I mean, too cute right?! See what else we have been inspired by this week… ♥

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope everyone’s day is going awesome-ly!! :)
It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our awesome quilt designers who recently launched a new quilting book. Jessie Kurtz of Harding Hill Designs, who designed our beautiful Crossroads Quilt, released her new book at Spring Quilt Market: One Block Remix – 10 Fresh Quilts from One Traditional Block.
The book, available in her Etsy Shop, features quilts that use a traditional 2-1/2″ strip block, but modernized into fun and different quilts, ranging from crib-sized to king. Such a brilliant concept, using the same block to make unique quilts. We were happy to send Jessie some fabric for her quilts, and love how they turned out!
The first is her Downtown Criss Cross Quilt, which features our Rise & Shine Collection. We love how the blues and yellows pop against the solid black! The second quilt featuring Camelot Fabrics is her Uptown Turnaround Quilt, with Wildflowers by Alisse Courter. Who knew equilateral triangles could be so fun!!
Congratulations on the book launch, Jessie! We are so glad to be a part of it. All of the quilt designs are just stunning!! You can find Jessie’s book on her Etsy Shop, as well as lots more from her on her blog, Facebook, and Instagram. Have a fabulous rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!

Today is our What We Love ♥ As it’s been getting nicer outdoors, we’ve been spending a lot more time adventure-ing and enjoying the weather. There is so much around us to be inspired by, from the luscious green trees to the ever-blooming gardens to the pure, fluffy clouds. There is beauty in everything, but sometimes with the fast pace of day-to-day, we can miss them. Find beauty in the irregular, the different, the unique. See what we have been inspired by this week.. ♥
