Birds of a feather...

Last month, Celina Mancurti and I decided to collaborate together to do a fabric swap and then make something with each others fabrics.


I decided to mix our two collections together to make a 20" square pillow.  I love linen fabrics and Celina's designs are absolutely beautiful!

 
All her fabrics are  hand screen printed with water based inks which makes her fabrics very eco-friendly.


Her fabrics mixed with my new fabric collection, Flats, just seem to work beautifully together.


Be sure to check out Celina's facebook page for the project she made using our two collections together.


Thanks Celina and Christabelle... This was fun!

NEW PATTERN: Baby Argyle Quilt featuring Flats

I am very excited to finally be announcing one of my new patterns featuring my new fabric and thread collections from Moda Fabrics and Aurifil Threads, Flats.



I love this quilt... simple and classic. Mix and match the color combination for your own custom quilt. It is so fun and can be displayed in any direction.  Pattern and supplies will make up to two complete quilts. Great for new baby gifts!

Hot Seat and Favorite Notions with Fat Quarter Shop


A little over a week ago, I took a little road trip to visit Fat Quarter Shop in their studio and film a few videos with them. We had so much fun and even laughed a bit... okay... so I laughed a lot. I never actually realized how much I laughed until I watched myself in this first video... Hot Seat!



Next, Kimberly, Owner of Fat Quarter Shop, asked me about some of my favorite notions.  These are some of the key supplies that I use for almost every project that I make.


More videos and tutorials to come... be sure to check out Fat Quarter Shop's You Tube Channel for all the fun!

A Tailored Bed Skirt Tutorial

 
Adding a simple bed skirt to a bed can really help finish off any bedroom. I love making my own bed skirts for our bedrooms so I can make sure it fits perfectly for the bed I am making it for. I also love being able to pick out my own fabrics to give the room a custom look.

Click here to get my free tutorial to make your own custom bed skirt featured on Janome's website.

8 years...


Today, our daughter turns 8 years old... honestly, where does the time go??? In just eight more years she will be driving... or flying as she told her Poppy {aka: my dad}. Poppy, she just might make you stick to your word to paint your airplane pink and hand the keys over to her when she turns 16 and gets her flight license. She has been flying with her Poppy since she was 3 years old and loves it!


She even dressed as a Pilot for career day last week at school.




Happy Birthday to our little sweet pea! You are the strongest little girl I know and one of the sweetest. I am so honored to be your mommy and love being able to watch you grow into a little lady.
