Free Pattern: Riley Blake's Stacked Flowers

I ran into these and thought they looked oh-so-sweet and really simple as well. I thought it would make a fun addition to a bag or backpack to add a personal touch.  I know my little girls would love this... on an apron, headband... probably even on thier soccer cleats!

This stacking flower pattern is from Riley Blake's Cutting Corners College. They have so many fun ideas there! Enjoy browsing.

Fun With Flags

My fun sister-in-law emailed the other day to ask about "Those triangle flags you see in weddings and parties lately."  I told her all about bunting and I got inspired to try my own. 


So of course, I now have...


in the shop.  I can't help myself.  I had such a great time making it and it is really straight-forward.  It costs a lot if you buy it premade, but if you are willing to do the work, you can get the pattern and kits and do it yourself.  It's a great high quality pattern with all sorts of pictures and digrams to make it easy.  PLUS,  the bunting is double-sided so it will last a nice, long time. 

I have seen this in photo shoots, baby showers, weddings, parties, bbq's, bedrooms... just about anywhere.  It's a lot of fun.  So... dive into the bunting.  Don't you love that word?  BUNTING!

Prince Charming by Tula Pink

This fabric amazed me.  Her booth at Quilt Market was so much fun, especially her crown quilt.   This new line is called Prince Charming and if you look closely, you can find all sorts of hidden pictures.  Amazing.  Can't decide which line to order for the shop...




Any suggestions?  You can see her blog right HERE.

Up and Coming: Lost and Found by Riley Blake

This line really caught my eye at the Quilt Market.  It is so rich and beautiful.  It is called Lost and Found and it will be hitting shops soon!

Check it out:


 Isn't that nice?

And just for fun, here are a few images from the Riley Blake blog from Market.  They had a super fun booth!

My friend, Alana, ordered some fabric from the shop a while back.  You can see her sweet FB Page, Yumminess Textiles,  packed with inspiration.   She sent me a few more pictures of her lovely creations.  The ruffly goodie is to cover diapers.  Is that not adorable??  Guaranteed, I don't have a picture of ME in something like that when I was a wee one!  Kids these days have all the perks.  Way to go, Alana!

Free Pattern: Joel Dewberry Pendant Quilt

I mentioned a few days back, that I had the best time meeting Joel and Laurie Dewberry at the Salt Lake Quilt Market.  I even discovered that they live like 15 minutes away!  You'd have thought I figured that one out by now, but I didn't.

When debating whether or not to start my little fabric shop, I saw Joel's line, Aviary 2, and that was the last straw!  I had to have that fabric!  It's AMAZING!  It's HERE and it's almost gone...

Well, Joel and his wife were kind enough to whip up a free quilt pattern using this great fabric.  It's called a Pendant Quilt and the pattern is HERE.

Here is an image of the quilt.  Isn't it great?  So, sew away!
