New Fabric Friday

 I am so excited to announce that we are now carrying prints from

Blend Fabrics

We just got in our first of many collections from them.

Bailey by Maude Asbury

 Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen?

I am not one for Circus stuff, but this collection is "all that and a bag of chip"s to me!

Maybe a bag of Circus Peanuts.... 

Anyway.  I HAVE to make something with it.

Those Elephants, the balloons, and the Ringmaster with his mustache!! AHH! I LOVE IT!

Maybe I will start with this awesome free pattern that Blend has over at their website.

Love it.

I am so thrilled to have Blend Fabrics in the SHOP!

Also new in this week is

Boho by Urban Chiks for Moda

This collection is even more gorgeous in person!

  

And the Precuts are pretty delicious too!

I love all these color combos!

We also have in a beautiful selection of prints from

Avalon by Fig Tree for Moda

Be still my heart. I have a weakness for fabric with Cherries on it. 

And that little bit of Navy is just the right touch!

   

 And we also just got in all these fabulous patterns from Fig Tree!

 And these two cuties are back in stock too!

It's been an  busy and fun week!

I love all these new collections. Now if I just had the time to sew......

Quick & Easy Spring Table Runner + A New Quilt

We are anxiously awaiting Spring around here, and I thought I would add a bit of cheerful color to the family room. My coffee table has been begging for some cheer lately.

 So I whipped up this Strippy Table Runner.

It was so simple.

 I cut (24) strips 2.5"x14"

At one end, I marked in about 3/8" on both sides, and drew a line diagonally down to the bottom corner. 

And trimmed that off.  Making the strip thinner at one end. And the other end is still 2.5".

Then I sewed them together with 1/4" seam allowance, alternating the wide and short ends. 

I did some quick and easy straight line quilting with my machine.

And bound it.

I love it. 

This week I also finished up my

 Scrappy Trip Along Quilt

This cute quilt idea has been all over Pinterest, and Instagram and EVERYWHERE!  

I knew I wanted to make one with all my scraps.  

 Yeah, everyone had theirs finished by the end of January....I am just a few months behind!

I LOVE how it turned out!

And so does this little lady.  She has claimed it for herself and calls it the "Rainbow" blankie. 

 HERE is a link to the tutorial on how to make one for yourself.  I warn you....it is VERY addicting. 

I am currently working on a few more projects including:

*3 Quilts

*A few Hair Accessories

*A Women's Skirt

*And a Women's Maxi Dress Tutorial

Would you like a sneak peek of the Maxi Dress Tutorial?

It was sew easy to do.  I can't wait to show you all how to make one for yourself!

New Chevrons & Patterns!

Are you ready from some New Chevron Prints?

Remix Chevron by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman

Yup, they are pretty much to die for. 

These are my new favorite Chevrons. 

 They are the perfect size (about 2") and the colors are so rich and bright!  

Also new this week....

Happy Go Lucky Precuts are HERE!

  

 The Layer Cakes, Charm Packs, and the new Honeycomb Hexagons are in the Shop. We can't wait to get this collection in next month. 

 Isn't it gorgeous? 

New & Restocked Patterns this week: 

    

     

I can't wait to to make up all these quilts!

So many cute patterns....so little time.

Prepare yourselves for next week.  We will have Avalon & Boho in the shop!

Have a great weekend everyone!

New Fabric Friday & Easter Dresses

Are you all ready for Easter?

We are!

 I finished my girls' Easter Dresses last week. 

 I used the POSY collection, and LOVE how they turned out!

Both dresses were super easy.  Would you like to see a tutorial for them? 

 Now if we can just keep them clean until Sunday!
