Fabric Fun: Laurie's Cabinet

One of my all time FAVORITE fabric designers is Joel Dewberry.  And it;s not even because he lives down the road.  (I didn't even know that until Quilt Market a few months back!).  His style is just amazing! And his wife, Laurie, is possibly one of the sweetest gals I have ever met. 

Anyhow, while I was perusing a few blogs, I read Laurie's post about her Cabinet Makeover.  Check out these pictures of the before and after.




Love it Laurie!!  This is so stunning.  Isn't it funny how our styles change over time?

PSSST.... If you are after some of Joel's Fabric, check HERE or HERE.

Free Pattern: Market Sack from Riley Blake

I though this sack was so adorable, that I had to share.  They use a jelly roll of fabric, but you can just as easily use a solid piece or pieces your own design.  So here it is-- the Happy Market Sack!



Isn't it fun?  I love the giant grommets.  They are the shower curtain kind so you don't need any setting tool! 

You cabn find the pattern right HERE.  Enjoy!

SSS... Sumo's Sweet Stuff is Sizzlin'

I was so excited to see this pattern review over at Sumo's Sweet Stuff.  You can go see it right here.  Let me just tell you that this has been a favorite blog of mine for a long time, and now that I have talked a  little with Summer, I can say that I know why I always liked it so much.  Summer is so incredibly kind and sweet.  She is a genuinely nice person and I always love to know that there are lots of nice people out there.  Eeeek.  I hope I am nice, too...


Anyhow, here is my scalloped bunting "Sumo-fied."  I love the fabrics she chose.  Summer made it for her daughter's birthday, but after hanging it up for photos, she has decided it's permanent home will be in her daughter's bedroom.  So fun!!

Lovely stuff!!!

Up and Coming: Heather Bailey's Garden District

 I've been watching and waiting for Heather Bailey to release a new fabric line, and it's has finally happened! This one is called Garden District from FreeSpirit. It's soft and feminine and it will come in cotton sateen and canvas. Fancy nightgowns and home decor heaven!! Here are some of the canvas prints.



Lovely, no?
