This Moody Monday is all about our quest for calm and celebrates a softer side with Jackie McFee capturing the essence of the two Pantone colours of the year: Rose Quartz & Serenity!

RoseQuartz-Serenity_inside_3fold

This new collection, Rose Quartz & Serenity, brings a sense of calm and relaxation.  It reminds me of the beautiful sunsets I was lucky enough to see during my holiday in Cape Cod.  The fabrics offer a balance between a warmer embracing rose and a cooler tranquil blue and will surely help you enjoy the moment you spend working on that very special project.

Making a quilt featuring this collection will surely provide you with a much-needed sense of tranquility and inner peace.

What are you planning to make with this collection? Be sure to check out the full program  in your local quilt shop.  Click here to find the one nearest your home.

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. This week, we are giving away our Neon & On FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page. We want to know what back to school inspired project you would create with this bundle. Let us know for a chance to win HERE! :)

 

For this week’s Thankful Thursday, we are featuring a blog that we are sure all our fellow sewers and bloggers visit as their go-to crafting manual – Sew Mama Sew! It has been a couple of months, but we are ever so thankful that we wanted to properly thank everyone involved for the incredible feature. Sew Mama Sew is the motherboard of all things craft and sewing-related, from easy-to-follow and creative tutorials, fun and engaging sew-alongs, and the best of giveaways! Their tutorials include stunning dress patterns to quilted projects to tips & tricks for beginners, and everything in between. If you’re looking for it (at least craft-wise), Sew Mama Sew has got it!!

 

One amazing thing about Sew Mama Sew is the consistent contributors on the blog, featuring fellow bloggers and crafting enthusiasts alike. Sew Mama Sew partnered up with Warp & Weft and Thread Riding Hood to showcase an amazing project (and a giveaway!) with two of our fabric collections. We were so thrilled and over-the-moon to the see our fabric collections used, and featured on some very cool blogs. Made us feel pretty cool ourselves, haha. The fantastic project was sponsored by Warp & Weft, a fabric retailer and fellow Canadian (yay, represent!), so thank you SOSO much for the fabric love.

 

Sherri of Thread Riding Hood (um, how adorable is her blog name?!) is the creative behind the project. She created a beautiful Fabric Tray, perfect for holding all your project items (thread, thimble, scissors, etc), or for keeping all your essentials in one place before you leave. The pretty patchwork design gives this Fabric Tray a modern and fun feel, which goes fabulously with the bright colors of our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio and Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham collections.

Love it!!! This Fabric Tray tutorial is perfect for any extra fabric scraps (we all know we hoard a bunch of those!) laying around. Your scraps will find a new home and will be made into something really pretty and functional. You can find the full tutorial for this Fabric Tray on Sew Mama Sew’s blog, as well as at Thread Riding Hood.

We know we are a little late, but we want to say an official HUGE THANK YOU to Sew Mama Sew, Warp & Weft, and Thread Riding Hood for choosing our collections to showcase a wonderful project. We were so ecstatic to see our pretty collections, and are so happy you love them too. You can check out our Beyond the Backyard and Petite Plume collections on our website. Please be sure to check out their blogs for lots more creative and beautiful goodness!! Have a great one! :)
