hexie parade

i know it is the end of the day…but i couldn’t resist a quick post about our newest project…

Hexie Parade…sweet and a quick project…we fell for the hexie panel featured in Flower Girl and knew it needed to be whipped up into a fun little summertime throw.

aren’t those hexies lovely! and quick…we did do a running stitch in DMC floss around each hexie so they have an appliquéd look…we’ve got the kits ready to go…you can find more info and pictures…here.

looks like it is supper time for Gabby and Daizy…

happy stitching!

flower girl | heather briggs/my sew quilty life

we are enjoying a little rain and thunder and lightning today…which, i thought, makes it a wonderful day to introduce our newest collection, flower girl.

flower girl…is the premier collection by Heather of my sew quilty life. she is a brand new Moda designer…and it seems she fits right in with the rest. the color palette is reminiscent of the fresh spring days…the first blooms of the year. i am partial to the low volume prints…but the peachy color is mouthwateringly delicious! and look at those greens…yummy!

the collection includes a preprinted Hexie flower panel…mom is working in finishing up the project that features it…we’ll introduce that once it is quilted and ready to go. we’ll have kits of it…more on that later.

we’ve put together some color bundles…along with factory precuts and yardage…you can find all of Flower Girl here.

now back to machine quilting…

happy stitching!

blue

blue is my favorite color. i do *like* all colors. lovely dusky shades of pink, olivey greens, buttery yellows…all of them…however, blue holds a special place.

today i thought i would update you on 3 new blue bundles. Flower Girl is arriving today and Fableism Camp Gingham still needs to be added to the online shop…but i thought today i would focus on Blue.

introducing 3 bundles…each made up of a wonderful mixture of Dwell and Sunnyside. you may be thinking they don’t jive quite as well as other collections…Dwell seems to be so fresh and modern where as Sunnyside had a vintage vibe. well…these blues are magical!

Low Volume Blues…my favorite (of course) i love the crisp blues against the white…we have a few left here

Blue…classic blue…here

lastly…Navy…classic and perfect…you can find them here

have a wonderful tuesday!

happy stitching!

floral song | cassandra connolly

since i didn’t have a chance to introduce Floral Song friday or saturday….i thought i would drop in today…Sunday.

floral song…a collection made up of sweet little flowers, butterflies, and leaves in muted tones of purple, pink, blue, and a touch of green and bits of gold. this collection reminds me of pressed flowers that someone would use for a floral study. intricate little prints that are sure to dazzle.

we have put together some bundles…15 prints in this pack. we’ve also got yardage available…if you fancy a set of pillowcases or a 3 yard quilt. you can find all of floral song here.

**

i also had a chance to put together a couple new bundles. Both feature 3 sisters collections…

Liberty Cottage…a combination of several 3 sisters collections…including Holly Woods, Cascade, and Cranberries and Cream to name a few…perfect for a cottage-inspired 4th of July quilt…the bundle can be found here.

Butter Pecan…shades of taupe and tan combine to create this yummy bundle. a lovely combination of Cranberries and Cream, Cascade, and Rendezvous…grab a bundle here.

now…we are headed out the door to buffalo for some occasional sales…on the hunt for a cupboard for the shoppe.

***headed into the shoppe this week…Flower Girl by My Sew Quilty Life (moda fabrics) and Camp Gingham (Fableism) is in-store and will hopefully get online this week.

**We’ve also started gathering prizes for our Celebration in June (4th-8th) you can find info about it on our events page…mark your calendars!

happy sunday!

my summer house | bunny hill designs

good evening! usually i pop in during the day…i reserve the evenings for coffee and stitching and my newest show binge. however, today was spent doing a little spring cleaning, cutting some bundles, and planning out the next floor move to make room for some new collections that will be arriving. we are also changing out our Easter display to make room for a few springtime quilts.

tonight i thought i would pop in and introduce My Summer House by Bunny Hill Designs. this collection features a pretty combination of aqua, blush, rose, cream, and greige. i’ve put together color bundles and half yard bundles if you are looking for something other than Moda precuts and yardage.

My Summer House features a little house print along with some other tiny prints, stripes, florals, and plaids. My Summer House can be found here.

We have a new bundle for you today as well…Marshmallow Fluff…which you can find here. decadent and delightful…12 low volume prints (**no doubles between Marshmallow Fluff and Milkshake if you are looking for 24 prints**)

New fabric is always on the way…we’ll be back with Floral Song by Lewis and Irene tomorrow.

carrot cake quilt

good afternoon! hopefully you haven’t blown away!

we’ve just put up a new project…introducing…

Carrot Cake (i may have been thinking of a name for it on Easter…even though Carrot Cake doesn’t seem to be an Easter thing).

The softness of Dinah’s Delight mixed with the Bella muslin…does make a perfect combination. I love that yummy green we picked for the cornerstones and binding…it finishes it off beautifully!

Carrot Cake measures approximately 75 x 93 inches…pair with vintage crochet pillows, embroidered throws, or roll and tuck into the quilt basket.

we’ve grown VERY fond of fat 8ths…to achieve the variety in this quilt, we chose to use a fat 8th bundle of Dinah’s Delight. We have put together some kits that include fabric for the front and binding…you can find the kit here.

next up…My Summer House has arrived…we’ll be getting that online along with precuts and bundles.

also…a new low volume bundle will be hitting the shoppe tomorrow.

happy wednesday!

finding wonder | sheri mcCulley

good afternoon! with easter right around the corner hopefully you’ve finished up all of your hostess/Easter basket gifts and are ready to dive into some springtime projects. maybe curtains for your backyard studio, a new set of porch pillows, or a cozy springtime throw for the springtime evenings.

if you’ve moved on to spring stitching…our newest collection Finding Wonder is full of flowers, fun garden insects, hearts and stripes. the palette is a little brighter than her previous collections (songbird serenade and garden party), but Sheri’s collections still blend together wonderfully. i’m thinking we have plan for something a little bit scrappy…stay tuned.

if you already have a plan…you can check out all of the poppie cotton fabrics here.

finding wonder

garden party

songbird serenade (new bundles have 9 fat quarters)

I would like to take a moment to wish you a wonderful Easter!

we’ll see you in April…we’ll be introducing My Summer House by Bunny Hill Designs.

happy stitching!

piecemakers sampler | pam buda

good afternoon! we are back to work today after 1 1/2 snow days (we popped in monday and did the weekend shipping and mom had her massage).

then yesterday i spent the day folding and rolling and tying Lori Holt Treats…look for those this afternoon. i also had a chance to pop piecemakers sampler collection by pam buda into the online shop.

pam buda is a one of my favorite designers…her civil war collections pull at my heartstrings. they so remind me of vintage civil war (from the late 90s). the mixture of colors and prints make them such a joy to use. piecemakers sampler is no different…she covers the rainbow so you get a little of everything.

you can take a look at piecemakers sampler here.

also…new Poppie Cotton, Finding Wonder and Bunny Hill’s, My Summer House have arrived…we’ll be working on bundles tonight.

happy stitching
