Fabulous Idea

Christy Bennett had an idea a year ago and after lots of consideration she has launched what I deem to be the next best thing from this world.  Are you ready???  Pre-made, lined, drapes!!!! I just think this is an idea that will be a huge hit!!  I am over the moon excited.  Once they find Darling Drapery  they’ll just have to deal with which ones to get!!!!  So many possibilities and she makes it affordable!!! Christy I think you are on the tipping point of something big and I know it is going to take off!!!  throw drapes up and have a party!!!! Match some pillows and you are good to go.  Congrats Christy!!So get over to Etsy and take a look at her collection.  I know you will love what you see….which room will you tackle first?

A wonderful tote!!

Here’s the remarkable tote everyone talks about in our Happy Home book. We actually have a beautiful sunhat as well to show you the versatility of quilting cottons, not just for quilts but has expanded to apparel and home dec product categories.  We just adore Circa and are so glad you have decided to hoard that line because it will be years before it makes a comeback if at all.  It is a classic and will live on long after the shelves are depleted.  We thought we’d show you two of the projects from Happy Home done up in Circa for your viewing pleasure.  As you all know I have made it my mission to get these books into every sewist’s hands so they can have fun creating all the loveliness inside these books!! I know I belabor the issue but I love that these books connect us all and inform us of the aesthetic that is Sis Boom.  We love that you join us in our homage to color and all the artists that have gone before us in celebrating color!

So enjoy making the market tote and sunhat we appreciate you!!

Lovely to meet you!

Lovely to meet you!

Quilting Passion

What you are about to see is brilliance!!  Rachael Daisy has been creating the most beautiful of quilt hexegons and I just had to bring them to your attention. These just get everyone ooohing and ahhing ..they are like little museum pieces.  Each one just will blow you away with the intricacy of design they create on their own. Like Kaleidoscope images you just can’t wait to see come together.  These use quite a bit of vintage Sis Boom which if you are lucky can grab on ebay or Etsy..  Just search Jennifer Paganelli Fabrics.  So go check Rachael out and enjoy the names of the fancy Hexies!! Below Chocolate Coated Rosy Posy!!!  Remember Craftsy has incredible charm packs and design rolls and fatquarters which are great for a project like this.  Not to mention their great prices.
