News from the Orange Studio

Well the year is officially over and it was a doozy! We all know all the bad that happened this year, so in this post I am going to concentrate on the good. Despite feeling a little lost with all the canceled events and stay at home orders, we actually accomplished quite a bit this year!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Today is our day on the Just My Type Blog Hop. When we saw the vibrant colors and fun prints in this gorgeous line Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis designed and we were enamored. The coffee mugs and typewriter keys are my favorites! Just My Type is shipping to stores so be sure to ask your local shop about it.

We are starting our Black Friday sale today! Because, well, why not? 
⁠
Now through Cyber Monday (11.25.20 - 11.30.20) ALL patterns, hardware kits, books and zippers are Buy 2 Get 1 FREE! ⁠

They’re BACKKKKKKK! Yup, no joke - Foundation is back! We are so excited to stock these limited edition Foundation bundles. We are a few fabrics short of the entire fabric line, but there is still plenty to create a gorgeous spectrum of prints. Windham reached out a few weeks ago to let us know they had a few bolts of fabric left and we jumped at the opportunity to stock them again!

It has been a couple years since we have published a new Block-of-the-Month book and boy are we excited to introduce you to Graphic Jam! We teased this book back in March with a naming contest and Graphic Jam was the winner. Now that the book is available and the cold weather is upon us, it is time to get sewing! So, grab a cup of tea or wine, and let’s dig into this quilty goodness. Or, watch the YouTube video here.

Back before the days of quilting, when Shayla was a wee one, Kristy filled her very limited spare time with crafting! We stumbled upon an old box of Kristy’s crafts, cherished remnants from the days of craft booths in high school gyms. It was filled with painted snowmen wishing to be placed upon mantles and Santa ornaments hoping to be hung from tree branches. So instead of boxing them back up, we put them up for sale on our website! Grab one of these handmade pieces just in time for the holidays!

We love Halloween and are usually in Houston celebrating with the quilting community. Since we are all staying home and staying safe this year, we are having a little sale instead! Take 15% off site wide - yep, that means EVERYTHING - cork, fabric, patterns, books, hardware and more. No coupon code needed!  

We are pleased as peaches to announce the launch of THREE new mini quilt patterns. Woot woot! We have made miniature versions of three of our most popular patterns: Mapleton Avenue, Wild Moose Chase and Darby Road. Read below for some details on each mini and see how each compares to their original! 

Another pattern we launched a few months ago and failed to blog about is our Quick Snappy Wallet! These little guys are super fun to make and would be amazing stocking stuffers/gifts this upcoming holiday season.

One of the reasons (… excuses) my blogging has been so sparing the last few month, is that we have been spending some time and lots of effort getting rolling on our videos! We relaunched our YouTube page and trying to add new content regularly for you. So far we have a few hardware tutorials, some Christmas in July projects and a few other fun ones!
