Just a little giveaway!

Hello to all of my lovely readers :-)

I can’t quite believe it but this is my 100th post :D

I started this blog on the 28th December 2011 to record the creation of a few crafty projects. It was meant to be a sort of diary/scrapbook for me and my family but has evolved into much, much more! I’ve really enjoyed meeting lots of new friends, even though most of you are in the virtual world as well as finding other blogs out there which are truly amazing!!

To celebrate this milestone,

Fall Quilt Market 2012: Michael Miller – Basics and Brights

12 Nov 2012 | Other RSS posts by

It’s the economy, it’s the modern quilt movement, it’s the trend … whether it’s one of these or all of these things, the theme of this market was definitely Back to Basics. Several companies emphasized solids and versatile basics, and just the pure joy of color color color. Having fabrics with longer shelf lives is not only for the manufacturer’s benefit — it’s something I often hear retailers, designers, and consumers wishing for these days. Michael Miller’s variation on this theme was a happy and bright one, with some trendy

Fall Quilt Market 2012: Michael Miller – Bekko by Trenna Travis

12 Nov 2012 | Other RSS posts by

The last designer enclave on Michael Miller Island was the one that created perhaps the most buzz at Market, since it marks such a departure for Michael Miller. Trenna Travis‘ Bekko marks their entrée into home decor fabrics. Bekko’s basecloth is a lovely cotton sateen that hits that sweet spota — it’s intended for light home decor like pillows, window dressings, kitchen and tabletop textiles, yet it’s light enough for quilting, apparel (like jackets, skirts), and all manner of crafts. Bekko feels preppy, yet fresh — easy, basic geometrics (and solids)

Fall Quilt Market 2012: Michael Miller – Patty Young

11 Nov 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Patty Young introduced her new line of quilting cotton called Textured Basics. While it is quilting cotton in terms of weight and feel, the fabric is overprinted with faux texture that makes the fabric look like a canvas. Tricky, tricky.  The faux texture creates the illusion of an added dimension on the surface of the fabric (you can see it most clearly in the picture below). Textured Basics will be available starting in November. In the spirit of “keep it simple” that permeated this market, Patty Young is also introducing a line of

Fall Quilt Market 2012: Michael Miller – Laura Gunn

11 Nov 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Next was Laura Gunn‘s booth.  Featuring her latest line for Michael Miller, Cosmos, which includes panel prints.  Laura’s painterly prints have a different feel than a lot of fabric on the market. Light and airy in spirit, but saturated in color, Cosmos is a lovely combination of large scale floral prints and plaids and dots. Cosmos is available in stores now.

Fall Quilt Market 2012: Michael Miller – Patty Sloniger

11 Nov 2012 | Other RSS posts by

In 2011, Michael Miller partnered with Spoonflower to launch Project Selvage. Project Selvage was an opportunity for designers to make the jump from Spoonflower to being a licensed designer for Michael Miller. Patty Sloniger was the  winner of Project Selvage with her collection Backyard Baby.  At Market, her booth was centered on her collection Les Amis.  In a dawn colorway and a dusk colorway, Les Amis includes fun animal prints, geometric patterns, and my favorite, a wood grain line print. Find Les Amis in stores starting in November.

Spring Quilt Market 2012: Michael Miller – Designers

30 Jul 2012 | Other RSS posts by

I’m (finally!) wrapping up Spring Quilt Market coverage with Michael Miller‘s designer booths. Keli covered the in-house collections, while Lauren got the designer booths — and, even though I forgot to ask, she got MM’s main, award-winning display. (Thanks, Lauren!) The Portland and NYC Modern Quilt Guild’s collectively created quilts showed off Michael Miller’s Cotton Couture Solids beautifully, and the now-traditional “live Pinterest” color inspiration wall was one of the main attractions.

Serendipity Quilt Store

03 Jul 2012 | Other RSS posts by
Yesterday, the sun was shy at first, letting the clouds fool us into thinking we'd better change our plans for the day. Before I could even think about alternate activities, boys and husband were already at the beach. Realizing this would be my only opportunity, I quickly left to visit my favorite quilt store in Delaware: Serendipity.

For the last two years, I have been following their adventures as they built and finally moved into a new location in September 2011, just a hop and a skip away from their previous spot. With 1,800 sq ft and over
