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!

Our next new Spring pattern is Canyon Boulevard. This is a super versatile pattern that is fast and fun. The pattern includes two different styles, one with string-piecing and two contrasting fabrics and one with a background and assorted scraps. Both versions are pictured below.

As many pattern and fabric companies begin their journeys to International Quilt Market in Minneapolis, we are staying put. This will be the first time since we began Sassafras Lane Designs that we will not be attending and I am having mixed feelings about it. 
How to Fussy Cut Fabric

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! One way to do that is by fussy-cutting. Just in case you are sitting at home thinking, “What the heck is fussy-cutting?”

New Main Street Pattern Cover

New Main Street Pattern Cover

We had a great opportunity to make our Main Street pattern in Timeless Treasures new precuts! We used the Sketch Colorplay 2.5" Strips for the colors, a light grey for the accent and a solid white for the background. We loved how this quilt turned out so much, we decided to reshoot our Main Street pattern covers!

Diamond Detour in Little Monsters

Diamond Detour in Little Monsters

We made this fun scrappy version Diamond Detour with Andover Fabrics Little Monsters line. The line had lots of fun little critters like frogs, monsters, robots, numbers, snails, soccer balls, skulls and a neat stripe! We wanted to feature all the fabrics, so we changed up the pattern a little.
