What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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,

Summer is upon us and nature and wildlife is in full swing. Summer gardens are starting to flourish and wild flowers are blooming all around. Sharon Holland encapsulates the beauty and life Summer brings, with her new collection Midsummer! 

Midsummer is a celebration of the season of summer, which is considered the longest day of the year. I don’t know about you but I am loving the early sunrises and late sunsets we have been having. Summer days seem to last forever, sometimes feeling like two days in one. As long as they are, summer in ...

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!

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, 

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.

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 ...
