Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a great day. Have you entered our Nordic FQB Giveaway yet? Be sure to enter here!

 

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Peaks & Valleys Table Runner by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. The Peaks & Valleys Table Runner is a simple, but elegant table runner that will add a fun pop to your dining or living room table. The “zig-zag” designs are made up of smaller triangles to resemble peaks & valleys, while the clean white space makes it an easy mixing piece with your current decor. How pretty does it look with the color colorway of our Beach House by Jack!e McFee collection? Gorg!

We also had this table runner made up for our Quilt Market Mickey Mouse & Friends section. We adore how the bright, primary colors look together. Shannon Fraser did such an amazing job!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. It’s the last day to enter our Sea Life FQB Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter! :)

 

It’s How To’s Day time! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful free project quilt patterns by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa created a couple of projects for us, one being her Hang Time Quilt. Hang Time is a very cool looking quilt, with 16 blocks together to create a window-like effect. If you choose one colour for the lattice design, it looks almost like “stained glass”. Sometimes with an intricate-looking design, less is more when it comes to patterns…so we love the look of Hang Time with our Fresh Solids. The bright colours gives the right amount of oomph to the quilt, and would look incredible on top of a bed or on a wall. It’s pretty much art! You can also find the full pdf printout here.

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having an awesome day so far. Sew Sisters Quilt Shop is hosting their annual Blogathon Canada and we are proud to be one of the sponsors. They are giving away our Kate FQ bundle as one of the prizes – the giveaway ends tomorrow so be sure to enter :)

 

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring one of our incredible pattern designers, Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa is a wife and stay-at-home mommy of five by day, quilting enthusiast by night. Melissa and her family have moved several times across the country, but before the first move, she asked her mom to teach her how to quilt. She wanted a new hobby to keep her busy, and through it, found a new love. She began sewing baby blankets for her friends, and her passion for sewing only grew. She started Happy Quilting in 2010 and, soon after, started to design and sell her own quilt patterns.

We had the opportunity to collaborate with Melissa for our Free Projects Program, and Melissa created two fantastic projects for us. The first is our Hang Time Quilt (above in our Fresh Solids), which is a unique and modern cross quilt that features different fabric patterns and colorways perfectly. We love the intricacy of the design, which would make for a stunning quilt as a bedspread or wall decor.

 

As well, Melissa designed a Peaks and Valleys Table Runner for us which is a fun zig-zagged table runner that would add a bit of oomph to any coffee table or dining table decor. It looks so pretty in our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee Collection.
