Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a lovely Thursday thus far. On Thursdays we like to take the time to appreciate those who have lovingly supported us…and there truly are so many!!

One project that we have been proudly working on this year is our #SewSocial Project. This is the first year that we’ve launched it, so it’s still in its infancy, but with the resounding positive feedback from many, many people it has grown wonderfully in such a short period. Our #SewSocial Project partners up with Quilts for Kids, a fantastic organization that sews lap quilts for children with long-term illnesses and children of abuse. We feel so honored to be working with such an inspiring organization. We also have the privilege of working with Mary Fons, creator and founder of Quilty Magazine, who will be creating the lap quilts – a quick {for now!} thank you to her! We hope to continue our #SewSocial Project in the following years, to only grow more and comfort as many children in need as we can.

This year, we have partnered up with the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players (MPBP). They have been an integral part in helping our #SewSocial Project grow. On August 4th, 2013 we hosted a #SewSocial Launch Party in Orlando, Florida with the MPBP, Mary Fons, and the lovely ladies from Quilts with Kids. There was lots of yummy food, many laughs and happy tears, and a bustling of creativity and sewing…amongst beautiful company. It was such a lovely and successful event, for such an incredible cause.

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday. It’s crisp but sunny here today…Autumn’s perfect weather. With Thursdays comes another Thankful Thursday, and today we are taking the opportunity to thank one amazing lady: Denise Wild from LoveSewing.

BurdaStyle has recently launched a new series called Burda Videos on their website, a collection of webinars going back to the sewing basics. Together, Instructor and Online Editor of BurdaStyle.com Meg Healy and Denise Wild have created a fantastic platform for beginner and advanced sewing-enthusiasts alike. Each webinar is colorful, fun, and informative – and the setup is beautiful!

We were so honored to be contacted by Denise Wild. When she asked us if Burda Videos could feature and use our fabrics for their webinars…our answer was, of course, instantly yes! We happily sent over bolts of our fabrics to their studio, and have been super excited to see them being featured in the blog posts and webinars – so much fun!

Burda Videos is such an amazing, new concept that we definitely think everyone will enjoy. You can check out all their webinars here! Also be sure to check out this lovely blog post here which features our fabrics in the background ;)

Thank you so much Denise for the wonderful support and for including us & our fabrics in the Burda Videos webinars!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! With the hustle and bustle of the everyday, sometimes we need a moment to just pause and appreciate the wonders around us. Even if it is just a “smile and thank you” to the barista handing you your morning latte or a quick glance to admire the pretty flowers on your way home from work, it’s the little things that can make your day all the more bright and peaceful. Doing so can remind you just how beautiful life truly is.

With that, we have decided to add our own bit of weekly reflection to the blog with our Thankful Thursdays. Every Thursday we will be sharing with you something or someone that we are thankful for.

This week, we had the honor of being featured in the Canadian Business Journal (CBJ). The CBJ is a lovely digital magazine focused on Canadian-based businesses and news, as well as articles and columns by Canadian writers. Being a proud Canadian-grown company ourselves, we are honored to be included in this prestigious digital magazine.

Our article details the manufacturing aspects of our company focusing on who we are, what we stand for, and our #SewSocial Project. Thank you to the Canadian Business Journal for the wonderful feature! You can read the full article online here. We would love to know what you think!
