Hey zipper lovers, we’ve got some seriously fun new goodies in the shop, and it is about time I finally show them off! If you’ve been around here for a while, you know we’re big believers that zippers aren’t just functional—they’re a design feature. And these new arrivals? They’re bold, playful, and begging to be stitched into your next bag or pouch project.

Lions and tigers and bears - Oh my! Or… let’s try that again.

Jelly Vinyl and Clear Vinyl and small project pouches - Oh my! It seems a little redundant to blog about all of this now, since they have been out and some of best sellers for the past year, but here we go anyways - plus it can’t hurt to have all this information together!

I’ve got something glamorous and gutsy to share today — perfect for those of us who love shine, structure, and projects that POP. Our Faux Leather selection has grown and is more tempting by the minute. We have a number of irresistible shades and some spectacular shiny options to boot!

Last summer we launched a new mini quilt pattern that took the quilting world by storm… or got us one angry email and a few unfollows. But despite a few disgruntled feathers, we and many others loved our new mini! So here it is, in all it’s glory! Say hello to Make Cool Sh!t.

Well so much for my “A Blog Post A Day” goal! But, I am back with a new post today to introduce this show stopping mini quilt pattern. Mini Bourbon Street is the shrunken version of our popular Bourbon Street Pattern. This is a fun way to use the tiny scraps you’ve been saving. Now, let’s get to the nitty gritty!

This mini pattern might look familiar to you. I originally designed the Sweary Seam Ripper as enamel pin and sticker, but couldn’t help myself and turned into an appliquéd mini quilt! So without further ado, I would like to officially introduce the Sweary Seam Ripper Mini Quilt Pattern.

Mini quilts are some of my favorite things to make! They small, they are cute and they are hold as much punch as their bigger counterparts! Today is all about the adorable Mini Kingston Court quilt pattern. The colorful cutie is definitely one of my current favorite makes, so let’s get into the details.

It is has been a long time since I have written a blog post! I could argue that I have been to busy or make any number of excuses, but the truth is I just kind of forgot about this whole form of communication. (And I have been a little busy! Moved states, vended at a few retail shows, launched lots of new products, etc. 😉) My last post was last Fall… 2024. I know, awful! So, I am going to try to dig into the archives of my mind and photos app to play the ultimate game of catch-up. I am challenging myself with One Blog Post a Day until I am caught up. Wish me luck!
