"While We Are At Quilt Market" Pattern Sale!

We know we post a lot of pictures on social media while we are at Quilt Market - and having been someone who is scrolling through photos on Instagram instead of walking the aisles of inspirations, we know it stinks! So, we are doing what we can to make it stink a little less! We are having a little sale on all our new Spring patterns.

Empire Place in Cotton Couture

Last but certainly not least is the Empire Place quilt I made using solids and black & white prints. I used Michael Miller's extensive line of Cotton Couture solids and assorted Black & White prints to make this quilt and I love how it turned out! I may have even fussy-cut some little elephants for the center of the Accent blocks.

Arcadia Avenue - Starburst (block 10)

Happy belated 4th of July! I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. I stayed up with my parents this weekend for a little mini vacation. We worked on some home projects, did some sewing, dreamed about puppies, watched fireworks and ate some yummy barbecued foods! It was a much needed relaxing weekend!

How to Fussy Cut Fabric

I love fussy-cutting! This might be because of my long term love affair with novelty prints! I have quite a hoard of them stashed away and only cut into them when their full cuteness can shine!
