Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday!! Hope you all are having a lovely day. Have you entered our Green with Envy FQB Giveaway yet? Be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page!
It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our favorite quilters, who sewed a quilt for us for Quilt Market. I know, Fall Quilt Market is already coming up oh-so quickly that the Spring one seems so far away… but we really wanted to share this beautiful quilt with all of you! As well as the quilter behind it, because we adore her! Vicki of Orchid Owl Quilts has quilted a few quilts for us (some of them are hush hush for now! ;)), and every time we receive a quilt we are amazed at the intricate work she does. She quilted our Butterfly Quilt (one of the free patterns on our website), with our Botanical Collection, and this one especially “wowed” us (it’s also a big one!). We loved how it acted as a showstopper backdrop for our Botanical section!
And here’s a Herringbone Quilt she did for us, with our Mixology and Scented fabrics:
(obsessed with the quilt work!)
Thank you so much, Vicki, for always doing such incredible work for us! She has also helped us in checking some of our patterns, and is always so great to work with. We appreciate you so much, Vicki! To check out more from Vicki, be sure to visit her website and Instagram! She’s always posting something new and wonderful. You can also find the free printout for the Butterfly quilt here. Have a great day!
Happy Sewing!

Sharing our What We Love #66 ♥ Fall is just around the corner, and it has definitely inspired the mood of our Pinterest board this week. From the rich, autumn colors that are soon to decorate our streets to the anticipated smells of cinnamon and apples (mmmm, nothing beats fall baking!)… we are excited to turn over a new leaf (hehe) with the upcoming season. See what else we have been loving… ♥

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. One more day till Fri-yay! :)
Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic quilting and sewing hub, Craft of Quilting. Craft of Quilting is changing the wave of traditional quilting methods, by showcasing the more modern methods, fabrics, and patterns that have evolved from a classic craft. They have all the tools you need for your next modern project – fabric cuts, notions, how-to techniques, and kits! From beginner to more advanced patterns, they are sure to have something for you. A couple of our quilt & pillow patterns were featured in their latest Summer 2015 catalogue, including some exclusive Craft of Quilting patterns with our Gypsy Lane, Zoey, and The Kitten’s Meow collections.
They styled each of our projects, complete with their photoshoot. We love how fresh and cozy all the pictures are! All of the featured projects, and more, can be found as kits on the Craft of Quilting website.
Craft of Quilting – your latest catalogue is a stunner!! We had so much fun flipping through it, and seeing all the beautiful fabrics and projects (such as ours! ;)). You can check out the online catalogue here, as well as the Craft of Quilting website for fabric, notions, kits, and more. Have a lovely day!
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We’re hosting our Star Wars: The Force Awakens Giveaway on our Facebook Page – be sure to enter!!
Keeping up with our Star Wars theme these past two weeks with our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of the awesome projects we had created with our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection – our Bucket Bag! Stephanie Baldwin, a fellow Montrealer, member of the Montreal MQG, and voice behind this blog, is one of our favorite people in the city to sew projects for us. She is super talented, efficient, and creative – and every project she has done for us…. we all smile with excitement and say “wow!”.
For the launch of our Star Wars: The Force Awakens collection on Force Friday, we wanted to share some projects created with the designs. We chose our Bucket Bag, one of our free projects, which is a super cool beach, gym, or weekender bag – perfect for a Star Wars fan!
Thank you, Stephanie, for bringing our Bucket Bag to life! You can find more from Stephanie at her blog – Queen of Wands Studio. And, if you want to make your own Bucket Bag (with our new Star Wars collection), you can find the PDF printout here. Have a wonderful rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!
