It's time for some Summer Lovin

It's time for some sweet Summer Lovin'! 
Susan Emory has the cure for those Summertime Blues. 

For those of you who may not already know, Susan Emory is a fifth generation quilter, graphic designer, wife and mother. She's a former quilt shop owner and the founder of Swirly Girls Design. Susan has been designing creative patterns with clearly written and illustrated instructions since 2008.

Susan’s designs have been featured in several magazines and Swirly Girls Design patterns are sold worldwide. 

Her most recent Block of the Month pattern, Sweet Summertime, features a new coordinating thread collection from Aurifil.

The thread assortment features a range of 6 colors, 1 each in both 50 wt and 12 wt, perfect for piecing and hand-stitching

Susan is always busy creating new quilt patterns.  Each one is better than the next!  Flower Power is her newest pattern seen above in the Summer Lovin' collection.  It looks even more fabulous made up out of Cotton Couture (BELOW)

Are you feeling a boho vibe this season? We are!! 

Introducing...

 Wove It or Weave It

(In stores now!)

The Circles Quilt was designed by Tara Faughnan and is a free download on our website! To achieve the look above, you'll just need to head over to Ikea for a furry throw and a funky lamp!
A Beautiful Mess has a great DIY tutorial for covering a stool with fur!

We made the fabric buckets below for the FabShop dinner at Quilt Market before this collection was shipping to stores... Now, we can share the project!
If you love succulents, this is a fantastic way to showcase them! They also make great house warming, birthday and teacher gifts!
I used a tutorial from Design*Sponge

Susan Emory designed the Wove It or Weave It Quilt below... It's also a free download on our website. We love it in Citron Gray but it would look great in all of the colorways!

Quilt Market Round-up :: Part Two!

Rob Appell was in full force this Quilt Market- He helped us make our booth beautiful and he brought the fun... Maybe some of you saw him roll by on his makeshift dolly "skateboard"? :)  Rob also debuted his new collection of quilts, Color Strata! He used our high density, oh-so-soft Cotton Couture to create the bright, abstract quilts pictured below...

For more Rob Appell, check out his Youtube video from Spring Market!

Susan Emory, of Swirly Girls Fame, showed off her new quilt designs in Pittsburgh! She used fabrics from some of our favorite collections-- Petal Pinwheels, Rainbow Bright Batiks, and Cotton Couture. How great is the quilting in the chevron quilt?! Love it.

.........

Quilt Market was amazing this Spring! I met new quilters, pattern designers and all kinds of makers- We're planning some really great collaborations for Making It Fun this summer! Be sure to check back in...

Have a great, crafty weekend!
