Hello Sewing Friends, 

What was your very first sewing project? This is something most sewists never forget! Or maybe try their hardest to forget because it didn’t go as planned! ;) My first sewing project I ever made was a clutch. Nothing very fancy, just two rectangle pieces of suede fabric and a zipper. Let’s just say at the time, I thought it was the coolest thing ever but I have come a LONG way in my sewing journey and learned a lot of tips and tricks to make a much prettier finished product! Back then, a patchwork clutch ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Bring on the flowers! Last collection release I sewed up the Ditsy Daisy Block with Midsummer Fabrics and I can’t get flowers out of my brain! So here comes another flower quilt block to add to your quilting resume! The “Tulips Fields” block measures 12 1/2"  x 13"  but surely packs a punch with the linear floral design of tulips lined up in a row just like a tulip field. This block pairs back with the Modernista Fabrics I used so incredibly well. The geometric designs and bold vibrant colors shine in this graphic tulip ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

I have been sewing with AGF’s 2.5 Edition Binding Fabrics lately and each time it feels like magic and I have barely scratched the surface on how you can use them, not just in binding quilts but in so many other ways. One of my favorite ways yet was sewing up an apron with Midsummer fabrics. Make sure to check it out here: Midsummer Apron. One of my new favorite ways to create with AGF’s 2.5 Fabrics is to make straps. Today we will be learning to make 3 different straps. I chose ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

We are in the thick of summer and going on morning and evening walks are one of my favorite things to do. As I walk I love smelling the sweet aroma of flowers in peoples yards and stopping to admire the colors and shapes and sizes. So it's easy to say I have flowers on the brain which is why this blog post is about sewing up the cutest flower block called Ditsy Daisy! I used Sharon Holland’s newest collection, Midsummer which was the perfect choice of fabrics. Midsummer is filled with different types of ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

I am so excited to share this Apron tutorial with you using AGF’s Midsummer fabrics by Sharon Holland! The star of the show is the 2.5 Edition binding fabric offered in Midsummer! Using it for my neck ties, pockets, ruffle, and waistband embellishment, it shows how versatile our binding fabric is and how it can also be used in so many different ways other than binding quilts. 

Aprons have been around for thousands of years, with evidence suggesting their use as far back as 1600 BCE. Many people still use this practice today such as ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

It’s only 168 days until Christmas and for us quilters and sewists out there it means it is time to start sewing for this magical time of year! Katarina Roccella has out done herself with her new holiday inspired collection Adventale. This heart warming collection is filled with so much love, joy and faith! This time of year celebrates family and togetherness and every single print in this collection embodies just that! 

If it could be the Christmas season all year round I would welcome it in a heart beat. Christmas carols, cheerful decorations and the ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Decorating our homes for the holiday season inside and out is a big to do each year, but adds to the magic that this season brings. As quilters, making handmade decor to add to our homes makes it even more special because we can revisit are makes each year, passing them down to generations to come to enjoy and cherish. Join me in making a Holiday Door Banner using the “Merry Everything” panel from Adventale fabrics. 

The  "Merry Everything” panel is filled with a ton of different size square and rectangle holiday graphics that can be used ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Need a vacation without even stepping foot outside your sewing room? All you need is a bundle of Costeira fabrics by AGF Studio and a tall cool glass of your favorite drink! There is nothing quite like visiting the ocean for the first time. The sound of the crashing waves, the magical sparkle that dances across the water from the sun, and the deep vast blue that extends for miles and miles. My favorite thing to do when I visit the beach even to this day is to dive for sea shells and eat the local fresh ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

I am so excited to announce 12 NEW Pure Solids to our always growing list of solid fabrics and bundles. Let’s all pause for a moment as we welcome “Ethereal Edition” to our sewing tables! This soft, pastel color palette has got me in a dream-like state! Honestly these fabrics look good enough to eat but I promise they sew better than they taste! 

Colors play a major role in quilting and finding the right colors to match back with all of the prints used in your quilting projects will decide how the overall design will ...

Hello Makers,  

I know it's only June but it's time to start thinking ahead to Spooky Season. October comes and goes so fast it's time to take these slower summer days and start our Halloween projects early! There is no better way to unleash the fun than with Ghostly & Haunted fabrics by AGF Studio! The month of October was always such a special time for me as a kid. Going to the pumpkin patch, apple orchard and feeling the warm air of summer drift away into the cool crisp breeze of Fall. I remember always wanting a ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Nothing is more satisfying for us quilters and sewists than to accomplish a project from start to finish in just one day or sewing session! They are the best projects to do when you're in a sewing rut, in between larger projects or just for a double dose of dopamine! I got the perfect project to add to your sewing list, the Quick and Easy table runner using the “Kercheif Forklore” panel from Anthology by Bari J. You can complete everything from pulling fabrics, cutting, sewing to finished project in the shortest amount of time yet ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Add elegance and romance to your sewing projects with Bari J’s newest collection Anthology. The life-like painted florals makes it feel like you can smell the fresh sweet aroma of handpicked flowers. I love the combination of her large scale and small scale design, perfect for home decor and quilting projects. With the addition of such a great variety of stripe prints to mix and match back with her floral designs, it really is endless in the combinations of quilting fun you can come up with. Make sure to visit my blog post where I take ...

Hello Makers, 

Boho, florals, vibrant colors, maximalist, are just a few words that come to mind when sewing with Bari J’s fabric collection over the years. I started working for AGF back when Bari J’s, Emmy Grace collection came out. It was the first photoshoot I modeled for and it is what made me become the Bari J fan I am today! This past weekend I had the opportunity to sit down with her new collection called Anthology and I was so blown away by the striking, gorgeous designs and the way she put this collection together. With ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Raise your hand if you enjoy the binding process of a quilt or sewing project? That's so great if your hand is up but I know for me and many others the binding process can get a bit stressful, tricky, and never come out the way you hoped. For years after I started quilting I was terrified of the binding stage and never actually finished a quilting project. Making quilt tops was my jam, starting a new one before finishing the first one and a lot of times working on 4 quilts at a time. What ...

The time has come!!!!

Say hello to beach days and fancy refreshing drinks while lounging in your backyard!  Tangerine Fabrics by AGF Studio is here and it’s sending us a cool retro Summer, filled with charming florals and playful designs. This collection reminds me of my days living in South Florida and my weekend getaways to Key West. Popping on my me made Summer dresses and my sunnies and riding on mopeds all day weaving in out of the endearing streets of this island's rich history. I am so excited to start sewing up some of the ...

Hi Quilters,

Welcome to Week 2 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

If you are just joining or haven't chosen fabrics yet, kits are still available HERE.  Grab one while they last!

This week we are cutting our fabrics and will begin assembling the units to make our Starburst blocks.

I love to start with a fresh blade and usually begin with cutting the background first since this usually has the most cuts (and honestly, it keeps me motivated to keep cutting since the prints are the most fun to cut, right?

There are fabric labels provided for you ...

Hello Sewing Friends, 

I have officially been a part of the Mom’s club for almost 4 years now and boy it has been a wild ride!  Motherhood completely changes your  life in more ways than anything can prepare for but what I have appreciated the most is how much stronger, patient, and resilient you become. You experience love on a whole new level that I still find hard to describe. Becoming a parent you are given the gift to relive your childhood through your children, finding that childlike joy we end up losing as adults. Unresolved issues from our ...

Hello Sewing Friends,
