Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an awesome day :) It’s the last day of Summer… but it’s also National Ice Cream Cone Day. Oh my!

 

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our free quilt patterns, our Deco Ritz Quilt by The Fat Quarter Gypsy. Deco Ritz is just as the name suggests – a super unique and glam quilt pattern that would fit very well in the 1920s, with its graphic and angular shapes. We first introduced Deco Ritz with our Nightfall collection, which the quilt pattern was inspired by, but we adore it with our other collections as well! With our Fresh Solids, this quilt pattern has a fresh and pop art-like feel. Love!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! We have been looking at all of our Quilt Market pictures, and are so thankful for yet another successful show. As well, we are SO thankful for all of our project and quilt designers who created or sewed up projects for us, for our booth. In all honesty, our booth wouldn’t have looked half as incredible without you all…so a HUGE hug to you from us!! We will be posting a Quilt Market summary very soon with more pictures and information from the show, and all our projects too!

 

One of the absolutely STUNNING quilts we showcased at our Quilt Market booth was created and sewn by one of our quilt designers, Joanne Hillestad of The Fat Quarter Gypsy. She has been such a wonderful person to work with, and we are so thankful we found this creative gal! Joanne had her first Quilt Market experience this year (YAY!), and we are so proud of her and everything that is to come. Today’s Thankful Thursday is featuring Joanne of The Fat Quarter Gypsy!

 

Joanne and her sister have always loved being creative and crafty, and this passion only stemmed as she grew up. As a teenager, she loved making clothing…when she got married, her love for sewing blossomed to baby blankets, clothes, and home décor. After her first baby boy was born, she became a crafty and innovative mom making fancy bags with pockets for mini cars, a road play mat, sleeping bags for stuffed animals, and other fun projects! It was her way of expressing her creative side, and she really enjoyed sewing…and fabric! Then one day her mother-in-law, Nancy, told her about the quilts she was making…and Joanne found a new passion! Joanne now designs quilt patterns and sews quilts for her company, The Fat Quarter Gypsy! Yup, best name ever!! :)

 

Joanne’s quilt designs are fun and unique, which is exactly what we love!! We had the privilege of collaborating with Joanne on a quilt design, and she created the beautiful Deco Ritz Quilt for our Free Projects Program, featuring our Nightfall Collection. We think it works perfectly with this collection – so luxurious and magical with the black, white, and gold. We have a couple of variations on our website and it looks incredible with our other collections too! Joanne sewed up the Deco Ritz Quilt for us for Quilt Market with our Design Studio Collection!! We absolutely adore how the blues, blacks, and greys work perfectly together. Love, love, love!!
