Wear Your Hobby!

Chances are you probably won't meet a quilter who isn't proud of their hobby and the work they do. Just like your son who wears sports tees everywhere or your daughter who has 10 million t-shirts from school clubs and events, you too should have some apparel that shows off your hobby! There are some wonderful companies out there that make clothing just for us quilters!

Below I've put together some of my personal favorites.
These would be great Christmas gifts... just saying!

What to Do with all those Adorable Row by Row License Plates?


With Row by Row being officially over next week, you probably have a ton of those license plates that are so stinkin' cute! I think the sayings that all the quilt shops come up with just get better each year! Some of my favorites are "ItsNotABlanket" from Pine Tree Quilt Shop, "Sew Unstabilized" by Creative Quilt Kits, and "Scrap Happens" by Gone to Pieces Quilt Shop

If you're anything like me, then you just had to pick up those adorable things anytime you stopped in a quilt shop over the summer! So now what to do with them? Well we have put together some ideas for you, from bags, to wall hangings, and more!

Welcome Fall! - Fall Quilting Inspiration

Fall is officially in full swing! When I think of fall, certain sights, smells, and activities come to mind. Pumpkins, leaves, cool weather, comfort food, scarves, and boots. Along with these things, I've also been seeing some adorable fall quilting and sewing projects that I've been dying to make! Since I'll probably not ever get around to making them, I wanted to share with you all! Hopefully, some of you will have a chance to make some of these projects or be inspired by them. Just click on the name of the quilt below the picture to be taken to the original source. We'd love to see your projects when you're finished. 
Feel free to email us or tag us on social media!
