The Equestrian Collection by Michael Miller Fabrics

The Equestrian Collection is in stores now! We can't wait to see what y'all create! Below are some of the projects that we made :)

The above look was created using a BurdaStyle dress pattern (altered to add the ties and apron in the front and back)

 How cute is this little retro two-piece? The pattern is Birdie by My Childhood Treasures (I will definitely use this pattern again!!)

 ....................

We also have a couple free downloadable quilts from the collection-- the first is called "Outstanding in their Field" and it features the border print.

*designed by Marinda Stewart

 A simple pillow would really bring a room together if you're decorating with the Equestrian Collection!

The Quilt below is called the Equestrian and it was designed by Jessee Maloney.

Throw Back Thursday

 Today is the start of our Throwback Thursday Series

at Michael Miller Fabrics!   

Through the years we have been known for having awesome retro prints.  

I am sure many of you remember them, but did you know that they are still available to purchase and in stock?  

Are you ready for a Blast from the Past?  We begin our journey down memory lane with our Retro Kitchen designs.  

Do you remember these?

CX1595 - 50's KITCHEN

All things reminiscent of a 1950's kitchen.....
perfect for kitchen curtains.

CX1458 - SUNDAES

Did someone say banana split??  YUMMMMMM!!! 

CX0939 - HOME EC

The ladies are all dressed up to do the baking and waiting for their husbands to come home :).  

Since we are doing a blast from the past post, I couldn't resist posting this picture of Kathy Miller from 2002!  It was taken at International Quilt Market 14 years ago and she hasn't changed a bit! 

Do these designs bring back any memories for you?  Tell us about your memory in the comments section for a chance to win a yard of Home Ec!
And the winner is...
