Welcome!

Time for this week’s What We Love ♥ This week, our Pinterest board has been inspired by lots of pretty blue and pink hues. As well, quotes – and more quotes. Like the “perfect song to fit your mood”, quotes can do just the same. When you’re feeling down, sometimes just hearing or reading an inspiring quote can motivate you or lift up your spirits. Or, there are those awesome times when you find a quote that is just gets you. Those are the best. See what else we have been loving…  ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. Today is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day… we’ll gladly have ice cream of ANY flavor, any day. If we could, of course haha ;)

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic quilting read, the McCall’s Quick Quilts magazine. McCall’s Quick Quilts is the McCall’s magazine dedicated to the beginner quilter, those who have just found an interest in quilting and aren’t quite sure where to begin or those who are looking for some easier-leveled quilt patterns. As the name suggests, this magazine is all about modern quilting, and focuses on patterns. Each issue includes a good number of quilt patterns to choose from, so you may have some future WIPs coming up ;) “Make fresh, fun, fabulous quilts” is this issue’s motto, and we couldn’t have summed it up better ourselves.

In the latest issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts, Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis (also one of our amazing pattern designers!), designed a quilt pattern for them called Morning Stroll. Morning Stroll focuses on a lesson on quick and easy curves, using templates to create pieced wedges. The quilt pattern features our Folklore Collection by Heather Rosas, with the pretty red and blue feminine prints creating such a stunning bed quilt.

Thank you Tammy for choosing our Folklore collection, and for McCall’s Quick Quilts for featuring the wonderful quilt pattern. You can find the Morning Stroll pattern in their latest issue, so be sure to check it out!! Have a fantastic rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

What We Love time… #57 that is ♥ Lots of inspiration from the wonders of mother nature this week. The brief sighting of Pluto this Tuesday (with its lovely heart-shaped bit) was a fascinating look into our mysterious universe.  It makes us realize that there truly is so much more to be discovered around us, on land and up above. From the deep blues of the Mediterranean waters to this captivating Victo Ngai illustration, see what else we’ve been inspired by this week… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! We’re hosting an Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter!!

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a new pattern by Tie Dye Diva – the Jon & Janie Romper! Jen, pattern designer behind Tie Dye Diva, creates wonderful and easy-to-follow clothing & accessory patterns for boys and girls. The Jon & Janie Romper is an adorable little romper pattern for your little one, as it can range from newborn to 3 years old. There are two versions, the classic romper with straight legs or with a gathered-bottom bubble. The gentle curves and snap inseam of the romper make it comfortable with a diaper. And bonus! There is a tutorial that will also show you how to make a dress version from the same pattern.

Bibbity Bobbins sewed a version of the Jon & Jamie Romper to be featured with the Tie Dye Diva pattern, with our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk Collection! She chose the green design with adorable little foxes, and we love how sweet it looks as a full romper. Her son is looking very happy & dashing in his new playsuit!

Thank you so much, Jen, for choosing our fabric collection to feature with your new pattern! You can find the pattern for the Jon & Janie Romper here. Jen also designed a Tunic & Bloomers set for our Free Projects Program which you can find here & here. Have an awesome day!

Happy Sewing!
