Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovey day.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! New year, new beautiful quilts to be discovered!! Today we are sharing a gorgeous quilt pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co. – Broken Bars! A version of the Broken Bars Quilt was created by Cristina Tepsick from Pretty Little Quilts. The quilt design reminded her of rows of books, and from that inspiration, created a Jane Austen-inspired color scheme with our Magnolia by Alisse Courter collection. She followed Jenny’s tutorial pretty much to a “t”, but changed the sizes of the strips to give an authentic bookshelf feel. We love her version, and how she even added strips of horizontal pieces to reference a real book’s spine. The Broken Bars quilt is such a great one, and we adore how Cristina revamped it! What a fantastic tutorial reboot.

Thank you to Jenny and everyone at Missouri Star Quilt Co. for the awesome free pattern, and to Cristina for choosing our fabric for her revamp. If you’d like to check out the tutorial reboot, you can click here. They’re also giving away a bundle of our Magnolia collection, so be sure to enter. Have an amazing rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a couple of quilts done for us by Vicki of Orchid Owl Quilts. Vicki is truly a quilting goddess, and we adore working with her! We are kind of obsessed with her Instagram too – she’s always posting something new and beautiful – we recommend all quilters to check it out! One quilt she did for us was our Box Trot Quilt, with our Mickey Mouse and Friends collection. We love how the primary colors in this collection just pop. especially with the black borders around alternating rectangles. It perfectly brought together our whole Mickey Mouse and Friends section!

The other quilt she did for us was the Crossroads Quilt, featured in our Nordic section. This quilt is definitely very intricate – especially with all the little, alternating triangles – and Vicki did such a fantastic job. It was a stunning backdrop to our Nordic palette chair. So cozy and warm!

Thank you so much for helping us for our Fall Quilt Market booth, and for just being your awesome self Vicki. Be sure to check out more from Vicki on her blog and Instagram. And with that, have a lovely rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day!

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! We wanted to share a couple more Quilt Market projects that were sewn for us, for our booth. We were connected with Larissa Gibbs – a wonderful blogger and pattern designer – this year, and she sewed three projects for our Quilt Market With Love section. The first project we chose for With Love is the Seamwork’s Adelaide dress – a casual tank dress with a waist-tie. We decided the vintage-inspired scrolls print would be perfect for this dress!

The next is Swoon Pattern’s Blanche Barrel bag, which with With Love by Jack!e McFee, makes for a very sweet and feminine gym or shopping tote. The final project was a bow clutch, pattern by ConstructivePatterns. We chose the fun hearts print for this one, and matched with the funky bow detail, love how it turned out!!

Thank you so much, Larissa! You did an amazing job, and it was so great working with you!! Here’s to many, more fun projects :) Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!
