Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Chilly, gloomy, mid-November day… but it’s almost the weekend! ;)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a couple of projects we had sewn for our Fall Quilt Market booth. One of our favorite quilters, and fellow Montrealer, Stephanie Baldwin quilted one quilt and sewed two bags for our booth. And, as always, Stephanie did an a-MAZ-ing job. The two bags were done with our new Flourish by Ciana Bodini collection, a gorgeous green and pink floral collection. The first is the Sienna Tote by  lbg studio. We chose the darker floral for the body, which contrasted nicely with the mint green gingham handles and bottom. The other bag is the Della Wallet Clutch by Swoon Patterns. We love how pretty this clutch came out, and would make for a perfect Christmas gift!

As well, Stephanie quilted our Cracker Lattice Quilt with our With Love by Jack!e McFee collection. We had never seen the physical version of the quilt, so we were especially excited to see this one. The pink and tan heart & floral prints worked wonderfully in this quilt design… we always love Stephanie’s quilting! It was the perfect backdrop to our With Love section.

Thank you SO much, Stephanie, for creating such stunning projects for our Fall Quilt Market booth. We are always so ecstatic to see the projects you sew for us (almost as exciting as Christmas morning)! If you want to make your own With Love/Cracker Lattice quilt – click here for the free pattern. Have a marvelous rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love ♥ The fall season has definitely inspired our moods and interests this month. November is the transitional month from autumn to winter weather, where we go from our light jackets to being bundled up like a snowman (hehe). The earlier nights aren’t fun but the piercing, bright stars are brilliant against the dark sky – such a beautiful sight. See what we have been loving this week…

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day! Today is National Doughnut Appreciation Day… so get to appreciating and have a doughnut! ;)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our lovely sewers who made some projects for our Fall Quilt Market booth, Denita Walker of HattieLu Handmade. Denita is a sewing and fabric enthusiast, who shares her latest creations on her blog and has an Etsy Shop to sell her goodies. We were connected with Denita as a Pattern Revolution contributor, and had an amazing time working with this lovely gal. She sewed two projects for our booth – the first, a stylish two-piece dress – the Vanamo Dress by Named – with our Nordic Collection. It was truly a stand-out piece in our Nordic section, and our “Val” mannequin was rockin’ it!

Denita also sewed the super cool London Backpack by UpCraftClub with our new The Alchemy: Indigo Collection. We adore the vegan leather she chose, which is a perfect compliment to the blue hues of the Alchemy prints.

Thank you so much for being such an incredible person to work with, Denita!! Our booth was fabulous, and we have you to thank for that. Have a fantastic rest of the day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
