farmhouse style

Well, first off…i apologize for my absence…we’ve been been doing shows, the retreat, and the quilt sale and making up new samples.

here is a look at our Perfect for Summer patterns.  Along with some fun gift items.

The cottage bed…Summer Crush–and at the end of the bed French Countryside and the bloom wall hanging.  Both of the large quilts feature a lovely farmhouse ruffle (unhemmed).  This gives it an elegant, girly, summery feel.

Shabby love…Shabby Roses uses Northcote Range by Cabbages & Roses.

French Countryside using some lovely grey and red from French General…this pattern is charm pack friendly and has that lovely farmhouse ruffle.  The pillows are authentic grain sacks and available in our online shoppe…check it out at the top on the right.

 The Good Home Company and Victorian Paper Company…fun gifts for the cottage, cabin, or home…

Beach Days scented dryer sheets and laundry fragrance….also, mircofiber sponges.  (laundry frangrance also available in lavender and linen dried)******************we’ve also found some lovely floral handled kitchen ware…check them out below–along with cottage measuring cups…i’ll put that in the next post*****

these socks are so slouchy…perfect for padding around stocking foot on the porch or deck.

 Linen & Ticking :  sets of zippered pillowcases are that reversible and feature a linen and a ticking.  These are available in our online shoppe.

~check back for more pictures of our Linen & Ticking cases~

i will be listing the items on etsy (the Good Home Company and Victorian Paper Company goods cannot be listed, so if you are interested drop me an email and i can send you a paypal invoice or you can pay via credit card over the phone).  If there is a kit, pattern, pillow, or bundle you are interested in let me know and i will move that to the top of the list.

have a safe and happy memorial day weekend!

anne elizabeth & percy parker

oh my goodness!  Easter is this weekend…yes, THIS weekend.  and our retreat is NEXT weekend…my how the days fly by.

especially because i kind of promised all of you something delightfully pretty last week…and i kind of never delivered–though the internet and my computer were not on good terms last week hopefully this week will be different.

so 2 new patterns that are now part of the sweetwater family (we have 5 or 6 more that still need to be introduced, but we’ll start with these 2 and maybe tomorrow i’ll get to the 3 samples that have ruffled goodness).

Anne Elizabeth…named after the sweet girl who moved into the house (it sounds like a reality show but even more boring) this past Thanksgiving.  This little quilt is 11 3/4 x 11 3/4 inches and fits this cute little hanger perfectly.  Made with lovely reproduction civil war florals and 4 different baskets…it is perfect spring decor.  We have kits available on etsy here.

Percy Parker…named after my great grandpa–mom’s grandpa.  This lovely scrappy quilt uses a layer cake and shirting prints.  At the New Ulm show…this was the most popular pattern–we have only 2 kits left.  It uses the 1862 Battle Hymn layer cake and a variety of shirting prints.  The blocks are smaller and are set off by shirting squares.  Percy Parker works perfectly with the Blissful shams in color sand.  check out the kits here.

so it has taken me 2 hours to get these pictures loaded and links added…hopefully i’ll get to Ritzy Ruffles, Ritzy Tucks, and Summer Crush tomorrow.

until then…have a lovely day!
