Oh Baby! Cynthia Rowley & Michael Miller Fabrics

How could I not start our Cynthia Rowley post with this baby pic?! She's the CUTEST!

*The baby blanket pictured above is ABC Scroll in Girl

And how about this one?! Totally adorable.

*The bloomers pictured above are made with Bows in Citron

The quilt that Little Baby C is sitting on was designed by Susan Emory. I love how the circles showcase the patterns- It would be so simple to switch out the fabric to showcase your favorite ones!

Susan used her Creative Grids Circle Savvy Ruler to make her perfect circles.

The "Oh Baby" quilt pattern will be available on our website soon!

........ 
Pink, Coral and Citron make a vibrant color story for a modern nursery! Trenna Travis styled this adorable room using Animal Silhouettes in Coral & Citron, ABC Scroll in Girl and Rabbit Repeat in Coral.

........

Not only is this collection perfect for baby, but it's great for toddlers and big kids too! 

*Bunny Scallop in Pink, Astra Dress Pattern

This is such a whimsical, fanciful photoshoot... and oh so dreamy!

*Rabbit Repeat in Pink, Pin Dot in Petal, Gatsby Dress Pattern

And, we didn't forget the men (or cowboys) in your life ;)

*Animal Silhouettes in Mint, Rabbit Repeat in Blue

Isn't he a total charmer?!

MMF Glitz Blitz: Quilts!

When we first talked about doing metallics on our silky Cotton Couture weight fabric we knew that it would be perfect for garments, clutches and throw pillows but we wondered if it would make beautiful quilts-- well, Heidi Pridemore designed a couple of spectacular quilt patterns for us! We LOVE how they turned out. They are so elegant yet totally washable and great for everyday use! As part of our Glitz Blitz, we'd like to share them with you!

 This cute little dog has good taste ;)

   The pink Glitz quilt pattern (pictured above) is available here.

As you can see in the swatches above, Glitz hangs with both the pink and mist groups. I bet they would even look good all mixed together in a quilt - feel free to send pictures if you try mixing them - I'd love to see :)

The mist Glitz quilt pattern (pictured above) is available here. 

......

Well, this post wraps up our January Glitz Blitz! I hope you are feeling inspired to sew with metallics! I know that I am. 

And a big THANK YOU to all of the artists who participated in our blitz... you are amazing!

In honor of the end of the Glitz Blitz, we're giving away six yards of fabric! Two yards of Chic Chevron in Confection, two yards of Sleek Chevron in Confection, and two yards of our silky, soft Cotton Couture in Bright White!

 We'd love to hear what you think about all of the metallic projects, what you will make if you win, and what colors you would like to see in the future. 

Comments are now closed - thanks so much for participating!

Congratulations to....

"I thought the clothing, the children's dresses, were pretty but I love to make quilts and love the two in this post. That is what I would use the fabric to make. The aqua and the blush are both gorgeous. This is just one luscious group of fabric. Any color at all."

Alt Summit San Francisco: Return to Alcatraz (by way of the Fairmont Hotel)!

Alt Summit took place in the historical Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco and we were thrilled to be there! It was inspiring and just plain amazing to be surrounded by so many talented and creative people. 

As sponsors, we were able to set up a photo booth. We thought that it would be fun to represent San Francisco-- and what better way to do it than with an Alcatraz inspired mug shot?! 

We made the backdrop with Thin Stripe from Bekko and we took the photos with a Fuji Instax mini. Then, we taped the instant photos to a super cute Alcatraz postcard. We hope this was a fun souvenir for all of the alt bloggers!

 We also took tons of pictures with phones and digital cameras so the photos could be posted on Instagram #michaelmillerfabrics #altsf. Log in and check 'em out!

In between photo-ops, we were lucky enough to hear some of the keynote speakers. If you feel like getting lost for a few hours, visit their sites!

...and so many more! You can check out the list over at altitudesummitsf. 

And, I can't blog about alt without mentioning all of the fantastic packaging, swag bags, interesting business cards and cute ways that creatives stand out!

~SWAG~

~MORE SWAG!~

~BUSINESS CARDS~

The Pinterest headquarters is located in San Francisco and they hosted a lovely after alt "Alice in Pinterland Party".

What fun! Tiny treats, yummy cocktails, and great company- the perfect way to wind up an excellent couple of days.

*Kathy and I are painting the roses red in the photo above... This wall was designed by Ellen Mattesi of Juvenile Hall Design. She blogs about it here.

Michael Miller provided Bekko fabric to all of the alt attendees- just enough to make a Box Bag like the one over at Pretty Modern (pictured below).

If you love the Box Bag, you can win it- just tell us about a blogger who inspires you! We'll also throw in a bundle of Bekko so you can sew a bag for a friend :)

Happy sewing!
