Sis Boom in Quilts.com Trend Report!

Wanna know a thing or two about Laminates?? Did you know that Sis Boom laminates were part of the Quilts.com trend report from Quilt Market in Utah?! See what Rhianna White has to say about The Softer Side of Laminates… Happy Sunday!

Our Katie goes to Prom!!!

If these don’t melt your heart than we don’t know what will!

How awesome are Katie and Berto on their way to prom. These photos were snapped before the big event and they were accompanied by many laughs, as you can probably tell.

Such a nice, handsome boy, that Berto is. Katie is blossoming into a young woman before our eyes as she gets ready for her first year at Endicott! We can’t imagine Sis Boom without Berto & miss Katie floating around….

Next year they’re doing the puppet show.. when she comes home for Christmas we’ll make sure to get her up on the blog!… but we still have ALL SUMMER!!!

What was your prom like??

Oh How we LOVE Cathy!

Whenever we have a pattern or sewing question, we know we can ask the fabulous Cathy of Sewing Story Projects. Cathy is Carla Crim’s right hand gal who helps handle our pattern customer service. She is an incredible pro.

Please join us in ooooh-ing and aaaaah-ing over Cathy’s craft room… and then go take a look at her super blog!


In addition to being awesome and talented and always helpful when we send her pattern questions, she’s got a very special blog of her own, Sewing Story Projects! Visit Cathy’s blog!

Gardenhouse Awesomeness!

The fabulous Simone Howell of Gardenhouse has done it again!! So exciting! Look at this awesomeness that was featured in this Month’s Sew Hip Magazine!! There’s nothing like seeing our fabrics in a quilt one day, and as a belted dress the next. The interpretations are what keep us so inspired! What a beautiful job Simone has done here!…

Talk about using Honey Child to the max. So versatile, Summery, and playful! We love how the belt totally works with the Dana (JP47lilly | Dana) dress, but is also used on the opposite page with jeans and a white tee. That little splash of Mikaela (JP49periwinkle | Mikaela) kicks it all into high gear. We are in love.

Share with us your Sis Boom fabric interpretations by uploading pics on the Sis Boom Flickr!! We’re always looking there and always featuring our creative peeps! You could be next!

Peep the Gardenhouse Etsy shop to see what else Simone’s got goin’ on!

Marcella Gets a Shout Out in Home Accents Today!!

Ok.. is it just us or are these Marcella Pillows seriously famous?! We can barely keep track of how popular they are, as they keep showing up in magazines, blogs, and funky fabulous online shops. Love! Not to toot our own horns, but it’s pretty cool, huh?!

Just recently, these Marcella knock-outs were featured in Home Accents Today in the Editor’s Choice section!! Thanks Peking Handicraft for the heads up!

Truly Adorable…

We’re going ga-ga over this oh-so-sweet, totally scrumptious little baby girl.. Who’s the lucky Mama of baby Truly? Alexcia of Make & Mingle!! Congrats to all of you! We can’t wait to adorn little Truly in some Sis Boom.

Get a Hold of THIS!

One of the wonderful women we were able to spend time with at our Sis Boom signing & show was the lovely Jeanne Simms. You can only see a piece of her hands here as she holds up her stunning quilt! Yes, that’s right, the quilt master is hiding behind her beautiful work of art! … OR, wait?! Maybe that’s Jennifer.. I recognize that toe nail polish!!!

Either way, the quilt master herself, Jeanne, brought this beautiful quilt along to show us what she had been up to and we insisted on putting it on the blog for all of you to admire!

Want to tell her how awesome it is or ask her about making one? She doesn’t have a blog, but you can certainly email her by clicking HERE
