Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an amazing day!!

For today’s How To’s Day, we are featuring one of our exclusive quilt patterns from our Free Projects Program. The Butterfly Quilt was created by the incredibly talented Melissa Stramel, of Lilac Lane Patterns. Melissa has now expanded her patterns to clothing and accessories, for women and little girls…and their dollies! But, we are obsessed with her Butterfly Quilt, which gives a unique flair to a quilt pattern. The little triangles throughout the pattern look like butterflies, which may seem complicated, but in the end – a super neat effect.

We love a contrast between the butterflies and the background, so that the butterflies really pop! Imagine a white quilt with solid colored butterflies?! That would be so so coooool. We decided to feature the Butterfly Quilt at our booth for Spring Quilt Market, in our popular Botanical room. The quilt displayed as a backdrop to the room (and because of its size, was a real showstopper!). It really made everything come together.

Vicki Reubel of Orchid Owl Quilts did such an incredible job quilting the Butterfly Quilt. We received so many compliments on the design and quilt work – so thank you to both Melissa and Vicki! You both rock!! Now… want to make your own Butterfly Quilt? Click MORE to see the full instructions.

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday!! We are back from a wonderful and restful long weekend. We hope all our fellow Canadians had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend spent with family and friends. So much to be thankful for, including all of you – our fellow Fabric enthusiasts. We are so appreciative of all your sweet contributions and kind words.

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! With the rush of Quilt Market, we have been busy with sewing up new and fun projects for our booth…and we cannot wait to share them with you all!! Today we have decided to feature one of our quilts from our Free Projects Program on our website. Melissa Stramel, of Lilac Lane Patterns, is one of our fantastic quilt designers and she created a stunning, fluttery quilt design for us with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee collection.

Our Butterfly Quilt features the subdued grey and mint patterns in a very unique way – the unexpected square placements give this quilt an intricate look, along with the little butterflies. We love how this quilt turned out, especially with our Mint Condition collection.
