Happy Wednesday! Not a completely Wordless Wednesday, but just about! Wanted to pop in and share a few photos from out Dreamin' Vintage Launch Party at The Sewcial Lounge earlier this month!

We got lucky and ended up with the Golden Afternoon sample that the Art Gallery Fabrics team stitched up! You can find the free quilt pattern here.



We had lots of samples on hand to inspire projects and ideas!



I brought some black and white versions of the prints, I think it's fun to see what they look like without color!



There is a beautiful display with the collection in the front of the store! I love the bundles on the cupcake stand, they look like pretty fabric treats!



Always lots of work, but at the end of the day we have a good time! Thank you to Sara (and Erin!) for everything! :)

You can find the entire Dreamin' Vintage collection in store or in The Sewcial Lounge's online shop!

Dreamin' Vintage Quilt Market Projects Part 2

Happy Wednesday! Time for more Dreamin' Vintage Projects! Today I want to share the quilts and home decor projects!


First up, a baby plus quilt made using my Arithmetic Quilt Pattern.  I love making these quilts, this is the first time I've made a baby size! It's quite cute!


A simple strip quilt.  I cut different size strips, all the width of the fabric.  It was quick, easy and cute! Would make a lovely gift!


Another pattern quilt, I used lots of blenders along with Dreamin' Vintage to stitch up this one using my Half-Square Triangle Sampler Quilt! I even squeezed in some Color Me Retro for the border!


This quilt is one of my mini patterns that I released earlier this year, Lazy Daisy Quilt Pattern! Super simple and fun to piece!


I always make lots of regular pillows for market, but this time I made a few quilted ones as well.  Two framed in solids and one using scraps!


Fabric bowls are always a fun projects! I used Nova's Fabric Nesting Bowls Pattern for these! I followed the instructions at the end of the pattern for making them square.


Finally, a few cute jar pincushions! I filled them with the scraps leftover from trimming half-square triangles for the sampler quilt! They were too pretty to toss!

You can see more photos of these projects in the Dreamin' Vintage Flickr set.  I'll be back tomorrow with the solids and blenders that match the line!

Dreamin' Vintage Lookbook

Happy Tuesday! I told you it was going to be all Dreamin' Vintage this week, right? Well, I'm happy to keep that promise! Dreamin' Vintage is on it's way to your favorite shops! The lovely folks at Art Gallery Fabrics have just revealed their Look Book for the collection, and I must say, it's awesome! I'm sharing some of my favorite images here in this post (it was really hard to choose though!). Make sure to check out the entire Look Book here, or click the image below!













The free quilt pattern I designed for the collection is called Golden Afternoon! It features giant half-square triangles in a warm/cool diamond arrangement! A little homage to my warm/cool quilt along! Download it here, or click the image above!

Happy Sewing!

Dreamin' Vintage Quilt Market Booth

As promised, some nice photos of my Dreamin' Vintage Quilt Market booth! I picked up a new lens for my camera for the main purpose of getting better wide angle shots in low-light. It also happened to be on my wishlist for years, so it was a win win! I went with the Canon 35mm f/2.  The verdict? Love it! But back to the topic at hand! Welcome to my booth, let's take a look around!

As I mentioned on Monday, I choose Pure Elements in Lemonade for my walls.  I wanted something really cheerful and fun and I think this color did the job! It's always a struggle to know how everything will look under the convention center lights, so I'm glad it worked out!

For my booth I was working towards a flea market/craft fair theme, because Dreamin' Vintage would fit right in there.  I didn't get too literal with it, but it helped me make some decisions about the projects to make and some of my props.  A trip to Ikea this past summer sparked some ideas too, like this chalkboard that became the sign for my booth! I also tagged items with pattern information, sort of like price tags!

I wasn't able to make as many garments as I had hoped, but I'm happy with how the couple I did make turned out! I am itching for my real yardage to arrive in March!

Most of the projects were displayed on these metal shelves! I'll be back next week to share all the details on the projects and quilts in the booth!

I made some giant tissue paper flower pom poms this time! I think they added a little extra pizazz! Mostly they helped make the booth feel more full!

I displayed my patterns on one of the walls along with a few small projects and the two larger quilts! I'll be sharing my new patterns next week too!

One of my last minute projects for the booth was the garland! I ended up using strips of vintage sheets and rope.  I love the way it brought the whole booth together!

Thanks for visiting!
