Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day!! Today is National Milk Chocolate Day. Milk chocolate is delicious in pretty much any form – milk chocolate bars, milk chocolate cake, milk chocolate ice cream…and the dreamy list goes on and on!

 

It’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our beloved free pillow patterns on our website, the Elevation Pillow by Kristy Daum. Elevation is a beautiful modern pillow that creates a super cool “graph-like” design, while keeping the rest clean space. This pillow pattern allows for the sewer to mix-and-match different fabrics together, as the design is made up of smaller triangles. We love keeping each etched “line” more uniform in color, to separate the three individual lines, which creates a really cool feel.

 

We’ve had Elevation sewn up quite a few times, but we thought we’d share a classic favorite – with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection. We adore how the whimsical prints look together in this one!

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Emilia FQ Bundle Giveaway, so head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!

 

It’s How To’s Day! Today’s tutorial is for a super pretty Bias Trimmed Pillow Sham by Marion of Made by Marion. This bias trimmed pillow sham is a fun twist on your basic pillow cover. Its diagonal design gives the pillow a modern feel, along with the trim detailing and easy back zipper closure. Make two (or more!) and spruce up your bed space – goodbye boring pillow cases, hello gorgeous pillow shams! We chose to feature our Emilia Collection, with its lovely purple and grey hues, which makes for a very feminine and soft look.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a lovely day. Today is Shark Awareness Day! Cool shark fact of the day? Sharks’ ears are located inside of their heads, and can hear up to 3000 feet away!! Wow. They’ve definitely got supreme hearing skills!

 

On to our How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our High Tide Pillow by Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter. The High Tide pillow is a fun design, comprised of different sized triangles and trapezoids. Together they create an awesome, scrappy and whimsy feel. This larger, 20″ x 20″ sized pillow is perfect as an accent pillow for a serene living room space, or to jazz up some plain outdoor wicker chairs. We chose to feature this pillow with our London Fog collection, and had fun mixing the different teal & grey prints together. The finished pillow is fun, but would still fit perfectly into a contemporary space.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We’ve been launching our Summer 2015 collections this week, so be sure to check them out here. It’s also Chocolate Day... Don’t need to give us another reason to have our daily dose of chocolate ;)

 

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing a tutorial for a stunning Quilted Bucket Bag, created by Marion of Made by Marion. With summertime, it’s also official vacation season! Whether it be a vacation to the tropics, a fun road trip, or even a day adventure to an undiscovered area – the quilted bucket bag will be your new, favorite companion. The bag is quite large, and has a comfortable strap, so you can put all of your favorite essentials into one – great as a carry-on or weekender bag!

The drawstring closure allows for you to easily find any loose items in your bag, such as a passport or pair of sunnies. The color blocking and quilt details add to this modern bucket bag, and it looks fantastic with our Zoey Collection. The taupe prints keep the bag fresh and neutral, but the coral interior is such a fun pop of color!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a lovely afternoon!! Feeling crafty? Well we’ve got the perfect project for you today…

 

Because it’s Tuesday, which means it’s DIY day on the blog! This week, we are featuring our gorgeous Saybrook Island Pillow by Stephanie Palmer of Late Night Quilter! Saybrook Island is a modern, “scrappy” pillow design that allows you to have fun with mixing different prints together. This is a great pillow to use the “extra” fabric pieces that have been carefully stored “because you never know when you’ll need that strip for something” ;)

 

Well, crafty friends, Saybrook Island was made for all of those lone rangers. You can match different prints together, or choose a solid color palette too, but in the end you’ll have a pillow that is as pretty to look at as it is comfy. We chose to feature our Magnolia by Alisse Courter collection and love the feminine touches of the dainty flowers together.
