Mini Euclid Avenue Gets A Makeover!

In my quest to rainbowify everything, I decided to remake our Mini Euclid Avenue quilt pattern. And this time, as you may have guessed, it is rainbow! I modeled the mini after it’s sidekick pattern, Euclid Avenue’s current cover quilt. I love making mini quilts and love displaying them even more. This baby is going on the wall where I can admire it everyday!

NEW Sassafras Squad STICKERS!

Have you ever had a small inkling to do something, then sit down and become completely consumed by it? That was me with these stickers! It all started with a desire to have some small products near the checkout at our retail shows. I started to think about things I tend to grab, buy and collect - stickers and enamel pins came to mind. So, I flipped through my notebook to see if any doodles felt inspiring. 24 hours later, I had 10 designs! (a few of which will become enamel pins soon!) It felt great to use another faucet of my creativity!

Introducing ZOOTROPOLIS 2!

If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve been teased relentlessly with our daily character introduction videos! Zootropolis 2 is our newest self-published book and is a sequel of our popular Zootropolis book. Joining the rowdy high rise building full of animals, is a tall London-style bus full of new critters! Don’t want to make a bus? No problem! We have included an additional checkerboard quilt pattern. All the animals are fusible appliqué and can be set in either quilt or a fun pillow! We hope you experiment and play with these characters!

Introducing DANNY’S DINOS!

Joining our large scale animal appliqué patterns are some Jurassic era critters! We are so excited to launch our Danny’s Dinos pattern and cannot wait to see what you all make with them! We’ve toyed around with the idea of doing another large scale animal pattern but were apprehensive about finding a printer (we haven’t done any of the large scale printing since we move to WA state). Once we got that resolved, we knew the next set would be the youngest of our family’s favorite species - DINOSAURS! We had so much fun sketching these characters out and made them as large as possible, for quick and easy appliquéing.

Introducing my Batik Fabric Line - Pura Vida! 🌿

Pura Vida, the Spanish phrase for “simple (or pure) life” encapsulates the Costa Rican culture. This line was inspired by not only the rich foliage, vibrant sunsets, mouthwatering food and phenomenal beaches of Central America, but also the true contentment felt when slowing down to enjoy life. Come explore Pura Vida with me and remind yourself to slow down enough to take in the beauty around you.

Turn Mini Quilts into Christmas Stockings

What better excuse to make the whole family new Christmas stockings than a new sister-in-law? My grandma cross-stitched our family stockings and they are beautiful! But we decided to make our new ones with a little more modern flare and use our mini quilt patterns to do it!
