Back to School with Michael Miller Fabrics!

Did you doodle on your desk and on your book covers in Elementary School and High School? I did! 
I wish I had a Color Me backpack way back when... :)
Hayley Crouse of Welcome to the Mousehouse and Michael Miller Fabrics bring you new...
(It's shipping to stores starting on October 1st.)
For more details about all of the Color Me collections, please visit our website.
 Grab some fabric markers and color your heart out! :)
(Hayley has a great blog post about fabric markers here.)
The backpack pictured above was made using McCalls 7207, Building Fun and Construction Zone
*We used an online tutorial by Crazy Little Projects to create the notebook covers.
 The pattern for the backpack above is from Simplicity (1388)

 If you'd like to see some incredible Color Me inspiration, check out the hashtag, #colormefabric on Instagram. It's so fun to see what everyone is working on!

Coloring is therapy too... so if you're feeling stressed, try it out- You'll thank us later ;)

Spring Quilt Market Round Up- Part 1 :)

We're back from Minneapolis and Spring Quilt Market was amazing-- I met some fantastic and talented makers and we unveiled some really great new collections and SO MANY QUILTS!! I can't wait to share what's happening with Michael Miller this season! But, for now, I'm going to give you a sneak peek into the QM booth...
Here we are after a few days of setup in front of Violet Craft's infamous Jungle Abstractions Lion quilt... 
...and, you know I love to post "before pics", so here's the blank canvas...
 And Rob Appell (of Man Sewing) on our way home from shopping in IKEA. I think we were there for four hours... we were all shopped out and tried to get in the wrong mini van. Ha!
Below are a couple of set-up pics... it's our WIP!
....and a section of our flower walls...
Below are some pictures of our finished vignettes!

The Quilt is Birdcage on a Chain by Anna Maria Horner

Emily won the award for most creative booth... woo hoo, Emily!!

Don't you just love the wall quilt?!? It's King's Cross by Tara Faughnan
