Introducing Town & Country

Between last year’s Royal Wedding, and this year’s Summer Olympics, it seems like everyone has a bit of a “British Fever” these days!

Our last collection for Spring 2012, called Town & Country, is bringing you all things British- whether you prefer the city or countryside.

And what better way to show-off the town than with these quilts using Aardvark Quilts’  ”Baby Domiciles” pattern?  The adorable pattern can be found here.

Do you feel the London love?  If you are in Kansas City come see it in person!  We’re at the Quilt Market, booths #3012-3013.  And if you’re not in town, don’t worry- the collection is in your local shops and online now!

Introducing Bukhara!

As we pack up for Quilt Market we have just a couple more collections to introduce you to that we will be debuting there.  Today we bring to you BUKHARA. We have a soft spot for everything suzani, which was the main inspiration behind this collection.

The collection, (which was also previewed on True Up last week here).

Our lead print, “Suzani”, also comes in a wide width canvas.  Chair covers, tote bags, a summer table cloth…we’re envisioning endless uses for this one!

One of our favorite quilts of the season was made using Metropolitan Quilt’s “Paris” pattern.

Check back with us later this week as we have 1 more collection to share.  And if you are headed to Kansas City please stop by our booth,  #3012-3013!

Introducing Jack & Lulu!

We’re so excited about our collaboration with Jack & Lulu that we’re practically doing cartwheels in the sand!  You may recognize the talented sisterly duo from your local paper or gift shop, and now you’ll also be able to find them in your local fabric shop!  So without further ado, we bring to you our first Jack & Lulu collection; IT’S A SHORE THING!

I mean…how cute are these!?  We had a ball working on projects and we’ll be sharing many ideas throughout the summer.  Here are 2 quilts to get you started.   The first pattern below is “Impromptu” by Rachel Griffith.  Just head over to p.s. i quilt for the pattern.

The 2nd pattern is “Gimme Diamonds” by Four Paws Quilting.  Just head here to purchase.

And of course we couldn’t resist illustrating a new STELLA for this collection.  You’ll be seeing her in publications this summer.

The collection is in, our beach bags are packed, and NOW we’re ready for summer!

Dear Stella in Real Simple!

We are avid readers of Real Simple magazine, so when we were perusing the June 2012 issue our hearts skipped a beat.  How exciting to see Dear Stella featured in the Gifts For Dads guide!

We are loving the adorable bow tie collar and leash by Silly Buddy using our Tossed Anchors print.   Not only is this little guy dad’s best friend, he’s Stella’s too!
