Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day. Have you entered our A Marsala Moment FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter here!
It’s time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of the many wonderful projects we had sewn for our Spring Quilt Market booth. Carrie Burnett of Beri Bee Designs sewed a clutch with our Elixir collection, using the In a Clutch Cosmetic Case pattern by SewStitchingHappy. We loved the simplicity of the clutch pattern, and wanted to feature our feminine orchid hues from Elixir in a chic way. We chose our orchid ikat print for the clutch’s body, complimented by the orchid honeycomb print for the top trim. The cosmetic case turned out beautifully; the perfect pop of color to have in your handbag.
Thank you so much, Carrie, for sewing this clutch for us for our Quilt Market booth. It looked wonderful in the Elixir section! You can find more from Carrie on her Facebook, where she creates and sews children’s clothing and accessories. Have a fabulous rest of the day!
Happy Sewing!

Time for our What We Love #60 ♥ This week, we have very much been inspired by travel, culture, and wonders. Such as the gorgeous city of Bilbao (where one of our designers, Val, had the pleasure of visiting!) to the Feria de Las Flores – a floral festival in Colombia, there is an abundance of culture and brilliance to be explored around us. See what else we have been loving this week… ♥

Hope you feel inspired today! We’d love to know what has been inspiring you. Sometimes we forget to tell our favorite people how much they mean to us, so today, tell those favorite people how dearly you love them. They’ll feel the love, and so will you ♥

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are have a fabulous day. It’s a little chilly here today, but the sun is out and bright!
Sharing our Thankful Thursday for this week! Today we are featuring one of our fellow creatives, Silhouette America. Silhouette America is the makers of one of the crafting industry’s favorite electronic cutting system. They offer a multitude of different machines for personal preference and usage, as well as thousands of electronic designs to choose from. Crafting, scrapbooking, and creating has never so easy – or so fun!
As well, they work with some lovely sewing people who create unique projects for their blog. We sent them some of our felt for projects, and were super excited when we saw these. Martha, from the blog The Art in Martha, designed these adorable Build-a-Monster Felt Puppets with our hard felt and her Silhouette machine. It’s a friendly craft project to do with kids, as they can have fun choosing which “eyes”, “nose”, and “mouth” they want. As fun and easy as that, you’ll now have your happy felt monster puppets to play with!
Thank you so much, Silhouette America and Martha, for the super awesome project. We’re so glad you enjoyed creating with our felt! You can find the full tutorial for Martha’s felt puppets on the Silhouette America blog. Have a grrrrrreat day! ;)
Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great day – Happy #FriendshipDay!! As well, if you haven’t entered our Magnolia FQ Bundle Giveaway yet, be sure to check it out here.
Thankful Thursday time!! Today we are featuring an adorable little ballerina doll that we had sewn up for our Spring Quilt Market, featuring our Heavy Metal Collection. Kara Orr, an incredible sewer and friend of Pattern Revolution‘s, sewed a couple of projects for us for our booth, including Briella the Ballerina (that’s what we named her hehe). The pattern is from the retromama pattern shop which features a bun hairstyle, little ballerina shoes, and a full tutu. She just dazzled in our Heavy Metal collection. The crinoline skirt & gold ribbon that Kara added were the perfect touches; she did such an incredible job bringing her to life!
Kara, thank you for bringing Brielle to life for us – she is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!! Everyone absolutely adored her at Quilt Market. Stay tuned for the other projects Kara made for us – you are wonderful. Have an awesome day!
Happy Sewing!
