Quilting Passion

March 2, 2012 by Jennifer Paganelli

Rachael Daisy of Blue Mountain Daisy has been coming by my blog for a few years and she is so supportive and kind to all the folks we post and always has a good word to add so I thought once again I would put her in the spotlight because she really knows how to work a quilt.  I love to see the quilts on a long arm quilting machine!!!  I tell folks how big they are and people can’t even fathom the scale.  Look at this magnificent quilt of West Indies!!!! We’ve actually had it on here before but I love it on the machine and you get a sense of scale. This is huge!!!!!!  Rachael you consistently pump out the beauties.  We are so fortunate that you love West Indies.  Here’s a link for some West Indies fat quarters if you are dreaming of creating. Sew Love Fabrics on Etsy has lots of West Indies!! I like the green set below!

A Plethora of Pillows!

October 28, 2011 by Madeline Rhodes

Sew Fun By Monique created this beautiful collection of pillows as a special order. We peeped it on Flickr and couldn’t take our eyes off them!

The bold collection ranges from current collections to those from years past, with a common denominator of pink pom poms. So good! Nice Job, Monique! Read more about Monique’s project here.

Rebecca & Shannon Dress Patterns Hot off the Press!

August 9, 2011 by Madeline Rhodes

Join us in welcoming the newest Sis Boom patterns!!!….

The Rebecca Dress and the Shannon Dress!!! Sleak, Chic and fun, these new dresses are flattering, classic with a twist, and of course, an absolute pleasure to sew!! We are SO super excited about these gals!!!!!

Just $10.00 each for a fabulous & amazing pattern. Thank you to Carla Crim of Scientific Seamstress for working her magic with this one (as always), our wonderful models, Abby & Liz, and of course, thank you to Tim Geaney for capturing the Sis Boom magic so beautifully.

More about The New Gals in town, Rebecca and Shannon…

Rebecca

The Rebecca shift is a stunningly simple garment that gets you right out the door, looking manicured and ready for anything.  Grocery store, errands, PTA, cocktail party, speaking engagement….this is THE go-to closet item.  The flattering notched neckline and dropped waistband can be made with matching or contrasting prints.  Imagine the Sis Boom fabric choices that take this one from prepster college girl to sophisticated city girl.  Because of the tailored style, we have provided extremely detailed fitting information and pattern pieces in every numerical size from 0-26W.  The semi-fitted skirt and princess bodice can be made from a combination of sizes to get a cut that is perfect for your proportions.  In addition, the bodice and skirt have multiple cutting lines, so even if you are tall or petite, you can get just the torso and hemline lengths you are after.

Shannon

The simple shift is a true all-occasion garment, and we are so in love with our Shannon! Pair with flip-flops for a stroll along the boardwalk, or with a headband and dressy flats for an evening at the symphony. This little dress features a tailored fit with a slight A-line flair. The notched neckline and dropped-waist belt can be made of matching or contrasting fabric…what a fun way to play with Sis Boom prints!  The bodice and skirt have multiple cutting lines so you can get just the look and length you are after.
