Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a terrific day so far. We are inching closer to the weekend, which means it’s just about Quilt Market time!! If you are going to be there, be sure to stop by booth #1824 to say hello! Come check out our new collections, our wonderful projects & set-up, and our designers. It’s going to be so much fun! Hope to see you there!!

Today we are bringing to you our Thankful Thursday! We are featuring an amazing quilting magazine, the only Canadian quilt-based read… Quilter’s Connection Magazine! Quilter’s Connection is all about sharing the latest and greatest there is in the quilting world, from new fabric collections to featured project tutorials to perfecting techniques. They will share upcoming, Canadian quilt shows and festivals, and share their current favorite fabrics, notions, and supplies. They have a lovely mix of quilt projects in both modern and more classic fabrics. As well, because they are Canadian-based and proud, they like to highlight Canadian companies and designers…a wonderful treat for fellow Canadian, sewing enthusiasts! And as their motto goes, “we are a truly Canadian magazine – for quilters, by quilters.”

Quilter’s Connection featured our Fresh Solids in their latest issue for Fall 2014 in their “Favourite Finds” Section. Our stack looks oh-so pretty in print, almost as lovely as they do in real life. We are so thrilled that Quilter’s Connection adores our Fresh Solids Collection! And as a bonus, we’re also Canadian…so it is even more special to be featured in a home-based publication for quilting!

Thank you Quilter’s Connection for the fabric love! You can get your copy of Quilter’s Connection on their website. You can also find them on their blog, Facebook, and Twitter. Have a great rest of the day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! It’s been rainy and gloomy today, so we are playing some rain-inspired (but empowering!) songs in the office to lift our spirits. We are also excited about this week’s Winsday because we are giving away an Imaginarium FQ bundle on our Facebook Page. Be sure to head on over there to enter if you haven’t yet! :)

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday, featuring an amazing, geek chic fashion and style blog… Set to Stunning!! Set to Stunning is run by cosplay friends Lindz and Scruffy who decided to create a blog in 2012 devoted to geek girl fashion, geek chic products and accessories, DIY projects (DIY Fridays), event interviews, and so much more! They both have a passion for all things Star Wars, Batman, cosplay, and cats that they now share on their ever-growing blog! Both girls were not fashionable types growing up, but found a love for it with being able to express their fandoms in geek chic style. As well, you’ll find them at all the major “con” events, such as San Diego Comic Con, WonderCon, and Comikaze. Their motto is “geek chic style for your alter ego” which definitely sums up the awesomeness that is their blog!

Up with all the latest trends in geek chic style, they’re always sharing new products and cool finds on their blog. In one of their latest “Picks of the Week“, they featured some of our licensed fabrics as a round-up to fabrics that would be perfect for DIY creations. So cool! They especially love our DC Comics Collection, Superman Collection, Star Wars Collection, and our latest Girl Power II Collection. As well, they’ve used our collections in their past DIYs!

We want to thank the girls from Set to Stunning for the wonderful fabric feature; we really appreciate it and are so happy you love our collections! You can also find more from Set to Stunning on their Facebook Page, Instagram, and of course, their blog. As well, you can find the fabric collections they mentioned on our website. Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! We hope you are all having a wonderful day so far. We are getting excited for the long weekend as it will be Canadian Thanksgiving. Our tummies are rumbling just thinking about all the delicious food – pumpkin pie, turkey, cranberry sauce, and of course, mashed potatoes! YUM!!

It’s time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring Quilters’ Digest, a fantastic full-color newspaper that is published four times a year, and is exclusively available in quilt shops. Quilters’ Digest is dedicated to providing up-to-date and forecasting information, inspiration, & ideas for the quilting hobbyists. Each issue features free patterns, readers’ quilt projects, fascinating fabric-related books, new fabric collections, & some other tips, tricks, and facts!

Readers can also contribute their thoughts and ideas to the column features, and provide feedback on what they would like to see next. It’s such a great source for up-to-date information for fabric enthusiasts, and best of all? It’s free!

Quilters’ Digest chose to feature our Girl Power II Collection in their latest issue (Issue #11), in their “New Fabric Collections” section, and we were so pleasantly surprised! It’s always fun seeing our collections being shared with fellow fabric enthusiasts, and seeing what everyone thinks. Quilters’ Digest wrote up a little feature on our Girl Power II collection saying that “this action-packed 14-piece collection will be a knock-out for the super hero girls in your life” – so cute, and we couldn’t agree more!

Thank you so much to Quilters’ Digest for the wonderful collection feature. We are so happy that you enjoy our Girl Power II Collection and have chosen to feature it in your latest issue. You can find Quilters’ Digest at most local quilt shops; you can find a store locator list HERE. You can also see our full Girl Power II Collection on our website. Have a super day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you all are doing well today. If you haven’t seen yesterday’s post, we are hosting another Winsday this week. We are giving away 11 Assorted Sheets of our hard felt on our Facebook Page this week. Be sure to check it out and enter!

Time to this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a fantastic fabric shop – Fabric Worm. Cynthia Mann, owner of Fabric Worm, has always been surrounded by craftiness, with her mum being an avid crafter and entrepreneur. As a little girl, she remembers picking out fabric with her mum to create matching dresses for her and her “Mandy and Jenny” dolls. Her mum has always been busy with her hands, making dough ornaments or sewing clothes, and is now an avid stamper and “Stampin’ Up” Representative. Inspired by mum, Cynthia also really loves to make handmade things but her choice is with pretty fabrics. She has two little boys and loves to make dinosaurs, robots and rocket ships, among other awesome boy things, for them!

Fabric Worm started online, as a small fabric Etsy Shop, and has now expanded to its own website and store. The definition of a ‘fabric worm’ is “a person devoted to fabric” and that is definitely the perfect representation of who they are, who we are, and who their followers are. Fabric Worm is also very active on social media, and has posted about their favorite collections. They have shared a couple of our collections (What a Gem, Let’s Go, and Playground), and the response from their fans was incredible!! It was so fun reading all the wonderful comments about our collections.

Thank you so much for the fabric love, Fabric Worm!! We really appreciate it. You can check out Fabric Worm on their website, Facebook Page, Twitter, Pinterest, blog, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a fantastic day so far. Today is National Comic Book Day, and as you may know, we kinda have a love affair with all things comics-related (Archie Comics, DC Comics, Marvel…). So, needless to say, you’ll probably find us bringing out all the oldies-but-goodies comic books from our archives…for a bit of nostalgic reading :)

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Today we are featuring a wonderful fabric retailer Plush Addict, who has been such an awesome fabric support, all the way from the UK. Plush Addict came about from Kelly’s fabric addiction and desire to sew cute, little nappies for her little girl. She quickly realized how difficult, and expensive, it was to find pretty fabrics for the nappies…so she decided to do something about it! Thus, Plush Addict was born, and quickly blossomed from its starting days in 2012, and has grown into a successful family business. With its success, Kelly quickly expanded her inventory to not only nappy making supplies, but also quilting weight cottons, fashion fabrics, haberdashery, and lots more! Now Kelly has found her dream job, where she gets to do the thing that she loves and work with the people that she loves too! Kelly has always loved sewing, her mum had taught her at an early age, and is excited to teach her own little girl when she is older.

We are so honored to be one of Plush Addict’s favorite fabric companies! We love seeing them showcase our newest collections on their website and Facebook Page, and they have even featured our Free Projects for other sewing enthusiasts to use. They really love our Insulated Lunch Hamper, in Mint Condition, which we can definitely concur with! As well, they have chosen some of our collections as cover pages on their Facebook Page, such as Fairyville (above) and Petite Plume, and think our collections are looking oh-so pretty being featured! It was such a wonderful surprise to see!

We are soso appreciative of the fabric love, Family Plush! We want to congratulate you on the continued success, and are so happy you found what you love! You can find out more from Plush Addict on their website, as well as on their Facebook Page and Twitter. Have a fantastic rest of the day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
