Summer! Where are you?

2011-06-23T17:19:00.000-07:00

Summer vacation is here for the kids. And we are plenty busy with all the swim lessons, golf lessons and starting next week, lacrosse! Phew! But if we were just basing summer on the weather here in Oregon, you would think it was February!! Seriously. It's freakin' cold! What are you and your kids up to this summer?

To kick off Summer (or lack thereof), let's have a SALE!! Use coupon code Summer20 at checkout and get 20% off your entire order starting Friday 6/24, until Monday 6/27!

(I'm pretending I'm here)

So, I know I am a total slacker for not posting the winner of the Izzy and Ivy Sprinkles giveaway sooner. Sorry! The winner is Holly, who said, "I'm at Disneyland right now with my family and yet I'm online (on my phone) looking at fabric! I'm so addicted to fabric. It's a sickness, I tell you." I so wish I was at Disneyland right now!!
Speaking of Sprinkles. They will be available in the shop soon!

From the Izzy and Ivy blog: "One package has 11 size labels, you get 2 of each size for a total of 22. The sizes are 6mo, 9mo, 12mo, 18mo, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. There are 4 different “handmade” labels, in different sizes, you get 8 of those and last but certainly not least you get 1 Izzy label! That’s 31 damask woven labels for 9.95! The fact that our labels are woven means they won’t fade, shrink or bleed. They come packaged in a super sweet cupcake container, perfect for giving or if you are like us, just looking really cute in your studio."

There's a bunch of other new things in the shop right now too and some more new stuff on the way! If you haven't seen, I now carry Cosmo embroidery thread by Lecien. It is the softest, silkiest embroidery thread around. I just have a handful of colors in right now and they will coordinate beautifully with Monica Solorio-Snow's new line "Happy Mochi Yum Yum" and Bari Ackerman's new line "Paris Apartment", which will also be in the shop this summer. Stay tuned.
Grab a couple of skeins along with one of the new Penguin and Fish embroidery patterns for a fun summer project for yourself or for the kids! How cute are these??

Dazzle by Melissa Averinos is now in stock, as well as Bella Solids by Moda! And 1,001 Peeps by Lizzy House is on it's way!

It's Quilt Market Time!

2011-05-19T15:43:00.000-07:00

Well, it was- last week, anyway. There's so much to cover, I don't even know where to begin.
First up, with all the new goodness on it's way, I need to clear some space on my shelves!

I got to Salt Lake City with my favorite travel buddies, Monica and Mo. This was a rotating billboard and it just happened to turn to this right when I took the picture. So perfect! It was a sign!

Then, after checking in to our hotel, we immediately jetted off to Patty Young's Schoolhouse lecture. I got to be a part of her Kyoko Misses fashion show!

If you're wondering about that fab fabric I used for mine, it's the new Peacock Lane by Violet Craft. It will be available this summer from Michael Miller!!

Later that evening, my girls, The Sweet Hot Yams and I threw us a grand Yamboree! Lot's of amazing fabric and quilty people stopped by to see us, eat desserts, drink and celebrate!
Here are the 1/2 of the Yams that got to go to Quilt Market. We missed our other 1/2 that had to stay at home and hold down the fort.

The Sweet Hot Yams: L to R Violet Craft, Mo Bedell, Monica Solorio-Snow, Kristin Link, Shelly Figueroa, Me and Heather Bostic in front (because she's short).

Yam goodie bags

Aneela Hoey and Monica

Lizzy House and Shelly (stripey, aren't they?)

Johnny Disco, the best bartender!

That pretty much sums up the first day! So, how about a giveaway? I've brought back a bunch of goodies and little snippets of things to come.

Why don't we start with this little bit of brilliance by Izzy and Ivy Designs? They're called "Sprinkles" and it's all packaged in a cupcake holder! Brilliant!! I'll be carrying these in my shop soon, so keep an eye out!
When I used to make children's clothes, I would add a little label for my customers. But the clothes I made for my daughter never got one. Then, later on, I would never know what size the different items were. Doh! I wish I had a kit like this. And look how CUTE it is!! You get 2 of each size tag, from size 6 mos. to 8, and labels. Well, you're supposed to get 2 of each label, but I honestly don't know where the other Izzy and Ivy label has gone. So, you're only going to get one of those. Sorry!

Since I probably had the most fun and laughed more than I ever had at any Quilt Market, due mainly from all my hilarious friends and their stories, leave a comment and tell me something funny! I'll pick a winner Monday.

Thanks to Heather for most of the party pics! I was too lazy to get my camera out.

Her Name is Grace

2011-04-08T16:21:00.000-07:00

Isn't she cute? My friend Irene and I went out on a mission today to find some double-capped rivets for some bags we've been working on. We decided we would start at Fabric Depot. They didn't have what we were looking for, so we wandered over to Montavilla Sewing that is connected to Fabric Depot. I've had this little lady on layaway for a while, but kind of forgot about it and just plain procrastinated on paying it off. I've been sewing away from home a lot more often lately with my Sweet Hot Yams and have gotten so tired of lugging this monster around.

So, I bit the bullet and picked it up today, with a little "encouragement" from Irene. Yes, I'm a Babylock girl. They've never failed me and plus, I can use all the same feet and attachments I already have. I can't believe how much lighter it is!
Can't wait for our next sewing night!

WIP Wednesday

2011-03-23T10:27:00.000-07:00

This is Petunia. I started Petunia a long, long time ago. She's been sitting naked, faceless and earless for a very long time. Even with this, she's been very well loved.

Her arm even started coming off. Yes, that is a sling. I get the hint, Sweetheart. I will finish her.

Spring Fever Sale!

Sewing for Boys

2011-03-11T07:55:00.000-08:00

In case most of you don't know, I used to be in the eBay boutique scene. I started when my little girl was about 2. It was great! So much fun making cute dresses and outfits for her. I always had so many ideas swirling around in my head. Then, I had a little boy. I had no idea what to make anymore. What do you make little boys that don't make him look like a sissy? You can't put ruffles on anything or applique cute kitties on his shirts. I wish I had this book back then.

Shelly Figueroa and Karen LePage from Patterns by Figgy's will have a new book just for boys! The book will include 24 projects that go from simple with no pattern pieces, to more complex with multiple pattern pieces. The book will not be available until August, but will be available for preorder soon. So, if you have a little boy that you're dying to make things for, but have no clue, keep an eye out for this book. It looks amazing!

Pillow Obsession

2011-03-07T08:11:00.000-08:00

I told myself I would try to do more sewing this year. So far, I think I've been doing ok. I've recently had a pillow obsession. I realized that I hardly had any handmade accessories in my house, so I set out to change that. I started with this little number.

I used KarrieLyne's Four Patch Pillow tutorial. It was a lot of fun and a great way to use up scraps.

Next up, I had to make something with Kate Spain's Central Park. Such great colors and patterns! It was super easy-peasy. I just used a jellyroll and paired it with a Medium Gray Kona solid.

Next, my most recent project is this cute, little pincushion I made for the Scrappy Pincushion Swap on Flickr. I used Tula Pink's Parisville and linen and made some little, 3/4" hexies for the top. My favorite part is the center hexie. See the little mousie? So cute!

Next up on my list of projects I want/need to do is to finish my Lawn Chair quilt. I have the top finished and still need to do the back. Since this pic, I've added a wide chocolate brown border.

I've also got Amy Butler's Liverpool Tunic on my table and this little Butterick pattern.

Butterick B5217

And last, this isn't one of my projects, but my 10 year old's. She was so excited to get these Modkid doll panels, that she went straight to work. She sewed them all herself (with minimal help from me) AND made custom outfits! She made one for herself and the other two for her two besties. I was quite impressed! She's a crafty girl after my own heart!

And if you're wondering, the one on the left has glasses, just like her friend!

Bazaar Style

2011-03-01T07:50:00.000-08:00

Bazaar Style is the new, Moroccan-inspired line from Patricia Bravo and Art Gallery Fabrics. It's made up of gorgeous deep purples, golds and teals. And, as usual, the quality is amazing and feels dreamy.
I've got some big plans for these fabrics! I'm planning on making more clothing for myself this Spring and Summer. I'm seeing a few skirts and tops in my future with this line. Oh, I really need a new bag too!
One pattern on the top of my list is the Lilverpool by Amy Butler. What about you?

Ooh La La! A Winner!

2010-11-29T20:53:00.000-08:00

It was a great holiday weekend, but I sure am glad it's over. My kids have been out of school for over a week, so it's nice to get back on some kind of "normal" schedule.
We went to relatives for Thanksgiving weekend, so I got to play with some Parisville on our way there. I took my hexie supplies. This was my favorite. It's made with the Cameo print. You can just see the bottom of the lion face. I didn't even plan it this way or fussy cut it.

I even got my sister in law hooked on making hexies. She's also a very talented crafter/sewer/quilter, but hasn't gotten to do any sewing for a few years. I also had some Meadowsweet 2 squares with me, which she liked. So, they all stayed there with her. I can't wait to see what she makes.
Thank you to everyone that posted a comment to enter the fat quarter giveaway! If you haven't picked up some Parisville, you really need to! Really. I mean it. It's pretty much amazing if you ask me.
So, the winner of the fat quarter bundle is comment #20, Ann, the Renegade Quilter! Congratulations!

Email me your address! You get to pick out 5 prints out of the ones I carry in my shop!

Black Friday Sale!

2010-11-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

Why do they call it Black Friday anyway? Sounds so spooky and ominous. Well, I guess the threat of getting trampled to death at 3 am would be pretty scary! At least you don't have to get up at 3 am to shop for fabric (well, only if you really want to)! Plus, you get 25% off everything in the shop AND Free Shipping on orders over $60.00. So, sit back in your jammies and leftovers and not get trampled.

Ooh La La Parisville

2010-11-23T19:38:00.000-08:00

It's finally here. It seems like it took UPS forever! If you were lucky enough to get in on my Parisville Preorder Sale, yay for you!

If not, here's another chance at getting your mitts on some Parisville! How about a little stack of 5 Parisville fat quarters of your choice? Leave a comment and tell me what you plan on making with Parisville and what your favorite print is. You get extra entries if you follow me on Twitter and are a Facebook fan!
As for me? I haven't decided yet. Probably a couple skirts. Maybe a bag. And most likely, a quilt will be worked in there somewhere. I've got high hopes, but it might all have to wait until after the holidays. But who know. I might just get a wild hair!

Quilt Market Whirlwind and a Parisville Preorder Sale!

2010-11-11T20:36:00.000-08:00

I'm a little late on the Quilt Market post, but oh well! Fall Quilt Market was a crazy, whirlwind of a trip! But, oh the fabric and the friends! One of the things I look forward to most (beside ordering fabric) is seeing all my great sewing, quilty and crafty friends. This trip was no exception.

My new friend, Beth Dunn, my sweet, dear friend, Melissa, me and my other sweet, dear friend Violet at the Fabric 2.0 party.

I only had one full day of market. So ~~trying to fit in~~ missing (different story) all my fabric ordering appointments, socializing and booth ogling, was hard. Needless to say, I missed out on seeing a lot of booths. But one that I was hell-bent on seeing was Tula Pink's Parisville booth. I was not disappointed!

Me and Tula! Yay!

Parisville was one of my favorite lines that I saw. I am so excited that it is finally shipping. It should arrive sometime next week! To celebrate, I am having a preorder sale! Take 10% off all Parisville preorders!

Gosh, I look pregnant in this picture! Well I'm NOT!

Tune in for some Quilt Market shwag giveaways. I still have to see what I came back with!

Fabric and Friends

2010-07-28T18:34:00.000-07:00

Meadowsweet 2 by Sandi Henderson for Michael Miller Fabrics is due to arrive at the end of this week! Meadowsweet 2 has many of the same prints as the original Meadowsweet, but in different colorways. I'm having a preorder sale on my website, so all Meadowsweet 2 orders will receive 10% off until it arrives!
Last Friday, I got to meet up with my new fabric friends, Mo, Monica, Terri and Violet again and also got to meet The Quiltdad himself, John Adams. John was in town to take Heather Ross' class on fabric design. It was a beautiful summer evening, made even better with lots of laughs!

And lookie what Ms. Monica gifted us all with!! She brought everyone a little bundle of her new line Holiday Happy for Lecien! This should be in the shop soon!! Could you just die at the cuteness?

I've also begun my first quilt! I'm using Heather's (a la mode fabric) spiderweb block tutorial and the periwinkle and midnight colorways in Amy Butler's Love line. What do you think?

Feeling a Little Quilty

2010-07-18T21:33:00.000-07:00

I never had any desire to quilt, or even thought much about it. I always thought I didn't have enough patience for it. Well, that's all changed. I think I'm officially hooked! I even joined a block swap, The Modern Siggy Swap. The block looked simple enough that I could even do it! I chose to use prints from Art Gallery Fabrics' Sugar line.

Next on my quilty project list was a quilted patchwork camera strap cover for a girlfriend that recently moved away. I used Amy's tutorial and just tweaked a little bit.

My other obsession as of late has been pot holders and oven mitts! Yep, only because one day I realized just how bad I needed new ones. Pot holders are the perfect little "mini quilts" to get you started if you're new to quilting. You can practice fun quilt blocks and your binding. I made my first log cabin block on my first pot holder. I totally cheated on the binding and machine stitched it because I was nervous about hand stitching it.

I really wanted to make one like these and wished Elizabeth had a tutorial for them. Well guess what!? She then posted this tutorial. I quickly got to work. I chose to use a layer of Insul-Bright and batting, instead of the canvas and used fabrics from Patty Young's Flora and Fauna line. But after using it a few times, realized I actually needed a couple layers of Insul-Bright.

On this one I thought I would try my hand at free motion quilting. It definitely takes some practice. My stitching is uneven in a lot of places, but I have to say that it was so much fun! I really like how the stitching ended up looking like the bees' flight path!

I even made a set of oven mitts!

On another note, I recently got to meet up with a bunch of inspirational, crafty, quilty, talented, fabric-loving ladies! I've gotten to know Monica recently from Twittering with her and last Thursday, she invited me to meet up with her and a bunch of others at the Old Spaghetti Factory. I was a little nervous at first since I didn't know anyone except for Jona. But that changed as soon as I got there! Everyone was so fun, I felt like I had always known them. Besides me and Monica, there was Heather, Mo Bedell, Terri, Tammy, Violet, Joan and Jona.
After dinner, we headed over to the Portland Modern Quilt Guild meeting where we learned all about hexies. I had never made a hexie, but thanks to Monica, I have a new little obession!

A Great Weekend

2010-05-10T12:03:00.000-07:00

Happy belated Mother's Day to all you fab Moms! So how was your weekend? Mine was jam-packed, fun, but relaxing too. Friday night, we sent the kiddos off to the grandparents and the hubs and I went on a fun date. We had a nice dinner and then saw Iron Man 2 at the IMAX. We got there a little late and had to sit waaay too close to the screen. But, it was well worth it. Totally loved the movie!! I liked it so much better than the first Iron Man. I definitely recommend it!
Sunday morning I actually got to sleep in a little! Then I got woken up by excited kids wanting me to open their presents. So cute! I got a custom piece of artwork and a beautiful little ceramic handprint! And look what else I got!!

Yep! The hubs actually came through on this one!! Of course, it was no surprise, since he called me to ask me the name of the cookbook I wanted like three times! But that's ok! You see, he's not all that great at special occasions, so I'm not complaining. Oh! And I got some flowers too!
I got to spend the rest of the day browsing through my new cookbook and watching movies.
Later, we even made one of the recipes from the book! We made the potato skins!
Check it out! YUM! They turned out sooo good!!

Now I'm trying to decide what to make next! I think it might have to be the cinnamon rolls!

I have to show you what else I've been busy doing lately! I've had a lot of requests from neighbors recently!

First, some embroidered towels

Then, a toga. Yes! A toga!
(The BEST toga at any Oregon State frat party, that is!)

Then, some cute zippered pouches for my hairdresser (also my neighbor)

She wanted them to look like this generic one, but only cuter! They are cuter, aren't they?

Doing all these zippered pouches inspired me to whip up a couple more and put them in my Bloom Design Etsy shop! And, I'm also having a sale over at Hip Fabric! 15% off your entire purchase!

Oh yeah!! And how could I forget! We also got a new puppy! He's a West Highland White Terrier named Scooter! He is the cutest, most fun, little fur ball around! But, he is definitely a little fireball full of energy!

Notice the dirty face? He has mischief written all over him!

More puppy love!

Weekend Sale!

2010-03-12T10:30:00.000-08:00

Yay! It's the weekend! What are you up? I'm hoping for a little relaxation and finally a little sewing. I've been sick for a little while and I'm hoping I will be feeling back to normal again this weekend. And because of that, I totally slacked on announcing the winner of my Sugar fat quarter giveaway. Soo Sorry!! The winner was Amy Priddy of Priddy Creations. Have you seen her camera bags? They are to die for!
And to hopefully make up for being such a slacker, I'm having a weekend sale. Everything is 15% off. I've also added some new sale items. And don't forget Fat Free Fridays! All purchases made on Fridays will receive a free surprise fat quarter included in there order!

Fat Free, Baking and Sugar?

2010-02-25T22:46:00.000-08:00

It's been a while, hasn't it? What's everybody been up to? I'm seriously getting some Spring Fever! While the East has been getting blasted with snow storms, the Pacific Northwest has been getting unusual sunshine and Spring temps. But, as I sit here writing this, I can hear the rain on the roof! Oh well.

Well, I've been busy with the usual family, kid and business stuff. A lot of changes and "stuff" going on around here. Hopefully it will all turn out to be good and positive. I haven't been sewing a whole lot, even though I've really, really have wanted to. Instead, I've been baking a lot. When I need some self-therapy, I usually sew, but when I can't sit and sew, I bake. I'm a huge Grey's Anatomy freak and sometimes I feel like Izzy when Denny died and she baked a gazillion muffins. Remember that? No, no one's died and I haven't gone wacko and baked a gazillion muffins, but sometimes baking just makes me feel better when I'm feeling off. Luckily, I have some great neighbors that love to eat what I bake, so I don't have to (even though I still eat a lot of it)! I'm planning on making some bread pudding tomorrow and some cranberry coconut cookies this weekend! I guess I will get to do some sewing too. I'm planning on making a lavender and flaxseed therapy pillow for a friend. I'm going to some Dolce by Tanya Whelan for the cover. I'll post some pics when I finish.

Sugar!
One thing that I know will help my Spring Fever is getting in the new line, "Sugar" by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics. Getting in new fabric shipments always make me feel better! I got to meet Pat at Fall Quilt Market. She is the cutest thing! She is so fun and has the cutest accent. I had tweeted with here on many occasions and couldn't wait to meet her. I wasn't disappointed!
Here's me and Pat at Quilt Market. Sorry it's such a blurry picture. I had to use my phone.

Check out the new line here!

Fat Free Fridays!
I'm also restarting "Fat Free Fridays"! To make your stash a little fatter, every order placed on Fridays will receive a free surprise fat quarter included with your order!

Giveaway!
Want to win a sweet fat quarter pack of Sugar? Leave a comment and tell me what you would make with Sugar?

Quilt Market Tardiness

2009-10-25T17:09:00.000-07:00

I know, I'm a little late to post about Quilt Market. Hopefully you're all not totally bored with all the Quilt Market posts? I have been out sick for the last week and am just now starting to feel normal again. I don't have a lot of pictures to share because guess what? Yeah! I forgot my camera!! Can you believe that? So, I'm either borrowing pictures from friends or using pictures that I took with my phone. But, I do have a fun giveaway!
So, one of the best things about going to Quilt Market is getting to see all your girlfriends! Once again, I roomed with my favorite Quilt Market pals Jonah of Maluhia Designs and Myrinda of Fabric Hound!

Me and Paula Prass! I just adore her! She is so fun to talk to!!

I did manage to do some business too. Imagine that! I stocked up on a bunch of new patterns and have some new fabrics coming in from Freespirit, Michael Miller, Art Gallery Fabrics and Riley Blake!
Check out this fun hat from Izzy and Ivy Designs! I think this is one of my favorite patterns! I'll be making a few of these for myself. The patterns should be in stock within the next couple of weeks!

Finally!

2009-04-09T20:28:00.000-07:00

I finally made it over here to actually post something! I thought I'd start a new blog just to focus on my fabric shop(s) and stuff like that.
So, to start things off, I'm having an Easter Sale through Sunday, 4/12. You get 10% off your entire order when you enter the coupon code "Easter10" when you checkout.
That includes the new ModKid sewing patterns by my friend Patty Young! I have them listed on my website, as well as in my Etsy shop!

Some of you may know that I was lucky enough to get to test the Emma pattern for Patty. It's a really fun, cute pattern to make! I highly recommend it!
Here are two that I made. The first is the tester I did. The second is one I made for my own little miss. I used Keri Beyer's Proud fabrics from my shop, which she picked out!
