Welcome Spring
with a fresh new look to your home. I cannot think of a better time to redo
a bedroom, lighten up the living room and say goodbye to winter. With the
arrival of spring comes the arrival of fresh new fabric collections with a
softer look to the palette. From home dec fabrics, paints,
accessories
and quilts, we are seeing a spring full of pastels. The new
Cottagewood
from Thimbleberries and
Seaside Rose by Moda lend a softer more
feminine touch to the quilts. The
Cottagewood book has some
wonderful, small quilts to freshen up your home. Take a look at the
Yo-yo Table Topper, it’s a beautiful runner that will become a classic
you will use for many years.
Springtime Quilt will lighten up that
bedroom you’ve been waiting to change. Now is the time.
This year,
Easter will be at our doorstep before we know it. Easter seems to be the
benchmark for decorating, spring housecleaning and pulling out the spring
quilts. Hanging the spring quilts on the clothesline, airing them out and
then layering them on the bed is one of my favorite rituals of spring.
Nothing smells better than that fresh scent of the outdoors. I love it when
the kids all come home for Easter weekend and notice the new look and even
say “Mom, the quilts smell so good.” This Easter, take a minute to make a
fun, inexpensive table favor for your Easter dinner table. Using the
Calendar Table Toppers book, we made the
Treat Cups with
Cottagewood fabric. Filled with a little Easter grass and candy, they
dress the table for a perfect entertaining touch.
Birthday Blast
was a huge success in February. Everyone that purchased the
Sunshine
Porch kit
was thrilled to see what a beautiful quilt kit it was and at a super price.
The good thing is, there is more to come. Each month, we will have a kit
showcasing a Thimbleberries pattern. The kit will include the fabric for the
top, binding, pattern or book with the pattern and the backing!
March’s Birthday Blast quilt is
