Sis Boom Super Fan: Robin of Kiddlestix Quilts

December 16, 2015 by Jennifer Paganelli

Every day our heart skips a beat when you guys share all the amazing things you’re making with the Nostalgia line on Facebook and Instagram, and today’s post is no exception. Kiddlestix Quilts posted this stunner of a beautifully sewn and photographed Nostalgia baby quilt. Some lucky babe and momma are going to enjoy countless hours snuggling and rocking wrapped up in this beauty.

My name is Robin Densford. I hardly remember a time when I didn’t enjoy sewing. But it wasn’t until my youngest daughter decided wearing Mom made dresses wasn’t cool anymore, that I had to find another outlet for my love of sewing . . .enter, quilting.

Now I quilt full time, from making award winning quilts and beautifully modern baby quilts for my etsy shop, to actively participating our local quilting guild.

When Jennifer’s beautiful Nostalgia line was first released by Free Spirit, I received an email from Hawthorne Threads and immediately clicked the link and bought fabric from the entire line. It’s truly one of the most beautiful fabrics I’ve ever seen. The classic designs and beautiful colors, along with all the coordinating fabrics in the line, give Nostalgia a timeless quality not often found.

I’m loving how perfectly the colors go together, making Nostalgia the perfect choice for baby quilts and matching crib sheets.

Baby/toddler quilts and crib sheets in Jennifer Paganelli’s Nostalgia can be found at my Etsy shop, Kiddlestix Quilts.

Sis Boom Super Fan: Ella Rose Boutique

December 4, 2015 by Jennifer Paganelli

The Sis Boom Holiday Show is in full swing but we still wanted to share with you Ella Rose Boutique and her wonderful use of Sis Boom fabrics. We LOVE how Rose has combined the new Nostalgia line with gold metallic fabric. They play off each other beautifully.

Hi my name is Rose, I share my life with my two boys Chris 13, Matt 11, husband Peter and dog Rusty the faithful Kelpie X. We live on a Sugar Cane farm which has been in my husband’s family for over 100 years! and live close to a small town called Innisfail, which is in Tropical Far North Queensland, Australia. It is beautiful and green up here, possibly because it rains nearly every day of the year, well not quite, but it feels like it sometimes!!

I have been sewing now for almost 30 years. Thanks to my wonderfully creative Mum who is an avid sewer and loves all things crafty, I developed an interest in sewing from a young age. Mum would spend hours teaching my sisters and I how to sew, and we created many wonderful and varied outfits on Mum’s Bernina 730 Record, what a fantastic sewing machine it was; I think it still works perfectly to this day!

I first discovered the wonderful world of Jennifer Paganelli’s Sis Boom fabrics almost 8 years ago, while sourcing fabrics for my hair accessories business. I found them irresistible, hence my fabric stash trebled in size after this discovery!!

After designing hair accessories for a few years, I dabbled in home decor – cushion making, until about six months ago when I decided to take up the challenge and create my own Baby/Toddler wear label and tadah “Ella Rose Boutique” was born! Named for my 3 gorgeous nieces! Ella, Frances Ella & Annamieka Rose.

The first outfit I made for my store was a Sun Suit with the fabric Canary Isabelle from Sis Boom’s Good Company Range. I just love the vibrant colours and tones of this scrumptious fabric.

At Ella Rose Boutique you will find an eclectic mix of clothing including shorties, bloomers, rompers, flutter sleeve and halter neck tops, dresses, head wraps, top knots and much much more… I love to use quality cotton fabrics, lace trimmings, ruffles, pretty ribbons and bows and all those wonderful girly things! The Sis boom range of fabrics features regularly in my store as I find that with this fabric I am able to design outfits that truly reflect my creative style.

The new Nostalgia range is simply stunning, I love the golden highlights, and rich hues which work perfectly with my Vintage Metallic gold range of clothing.

My passion is creating and I constantly find myself dreaming up new ideas for outfits, thanks to Jennifer Paganelli’s range of beautiful fabrics I have been able to create unique, fun & stylish designs for little ones all around the world!

Sis Boom Super Fans: Tracey and Chantelle Walker

November 30, 2015 by Jennifer Paganelli

Meet mother and daughter quilters, Tracey and Chantelle from Australia. We love this sweet story of Tracey and Chantelle quilting togethering, allowing them to slow down and bond in our fast-paced, hectic world.

I’m Tracey, mother to Chantelle, 15 years of age and wife to Shane. We moved from Victoria to the beautiful Swan Valley Region in Western Australia 10 years ago and fell in love with how relaxing it was.

I started quilting after watching my mother make a small quilt for Chantelle when she was a baby. Internet and books were my friends and I’ve learnt from lots of mistakes. The quilts I make have been for my nieces, nephews and of course Chantelle.

In 2012 I discussed with Chantelle learning to sew so that we could spend time together after school and work and talk about how her week had been. She didn’t take to making clothes. In 2013 she made the transition to quilting and hasn’t looked back. Chantelle has made a number of quilts, mainly for herself but has given a couple to friends. Last year we met another West Australian quilter, the one and only Edwina Foskew. This is when we first heard of Jennifer Paganelli and were introduced to the fabrics. Chantelle was gifted some Jenny Eliza and fell in love with the colours and prints. Edwina also encourages Chantelle in all her sewing and fabric buying. She’s yet to use it, waiting for the perfect project.

This year we encouraged Chantelle to create her own facebook page, Chantelle’s Sewing Adventures to show her creations and to be proud of what she does. She’s also started working at Handcrafters House, our local quilt store, gaining more experience from the talented team.

We have been blessed to have a fantastic network of family and friends who encourage Chantelle with her quilting.

It’s rolling into the summer season for all our Sis Boom Australia fans, so we couldn’t resist sharing this cutie in a lovely sundress featuring Marcella fabric from the Circa line when she showed up on our Instagram feed recently. Amaya and her mom, Miquita, live in the Hunter Valley of NSW, Australia. Miquita owns Damaya Designs, featuring handmade children’s clothing as well as patterns/tutorials for children’s activity items.

Miquita sewed this dress using the new Cross Bow Dress designed by BOO! Designs for the latest edition of One Thimble, an online quarterly e-zine out of Australia. Such a darling dress. You can find the PDF pattern here. Sew one today using the new Nostalgia line. Just sayin’….

Sis Boom Super Fans- Meet Jenny and Her Daughter Kelsey

September 21, 2015 by Jennifer Paganelli

Meet Jenny and her lovely daughter, Kelsey. The family lives in Texas and Jenny is out FIRST documented Sis Boom fan. For real! Jenny has supported Sis Boom from the beginning, and we watched both her daughters grow up over the years. Her youngest daughter, Kelsey, is quite the budding fashionista and we are in awe of the beautiful outfits Jenny sews for her using Sis Boom fabric. Below Kelsey is wearing the Leighanna in Beverly from the Good Company fabric line. Follow her blog and on Facebook.

I am Jenny Fish of Sew Pretty Dresses and Kelsey and Caroline. I started sewing 20 years ago where I first started with quiltmaking with the occasional dabble in making clothes and bags. I switched to sewing primarily children’s clothing when my daughter turned 2. She has been my constant inspiration to sew since then. I find that staying in close connection with my sewing friends keeps me motivated to create and Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom has really been my biggest cheerleader and motivator in putting myself out there and trying new things. Her encouragement, gorgeous fabrics and creations spur me on to keep sewing and designing.
