A Community Sampler Giveaway with Fat Quarter Shop!

Each Friday, throughout the Community Sampler sew-along community event that Sharon Holland and I are hosting together, we've lined up a new, special Giveaway with one of our amazing, participating sponsors! If you happened to miss the launch of our Community Sampler you can follow this link for all the info and can join us anytime - it's never too late to jump in!



Today's featured Community Sampler sponsor is Fat Quarter Shop!

My sponsor the Fat Quarter Shop was founded in 2003 by Kimberly Jolly. An avid quilter, Kimberly began her shop as a side business while still working a corporate position, cutting, packing and shipping right out of her house during evenings and weekends. From the very beginning, she was committed to delivering top-notch service for every single order and customer. As the Fat Quarter Shop's reputation grew, Kimberly decided to make it a full-time operation. Her husband Kevin joined her not long after, and with his help, lots of hard work, and a tireless commitment, the store began to grow. Over the past few years a few more people have joined the staff! As a team, they continue to branch out with the best fabrics, exclusive kits, quilt clubs, BOMs, and more. And they will always be driven by the passion that Kimberly founded the store upon, which is always giving you the best products and service!

Campsite Sewing : :

Have you seen Art Gallery Fabric's Campsite Capsules collection?

At first site, I had to have it! Foxes, feathers, wildflowers, stars and so many more adorable motifs create this ten piece collection that is perfect if you love woodland themed prints just as much as I do!



Oh yes, and a print full of canning jars that keep sparkly metallic sprinkled fireflies captive! So much cuteness!



For my first Campsite project I decided on a set of zipper pouch bags that I plan to sell with a handcrafted journal and rustic twig pencil. I think it will make a really cute gift for any camp-loving kiddos, like my own three kids!

My bag fronts began with fussy cut Sneaky Little Foxes and from there I added patches and strips of each camp inspired print!



For the reverse side, I fussy cut a single Fireflies Glow jar for each piece and made quick quilt as you go style log cabin blocks. The Campfire Sweets toasted marshmallow print makes for a super cute stripe!



Laying together both styles of qayg blocks that I made for these bag fronts and backs, I could see either pattern making super cute baby or children quilts!





I'm hoping to finish up these bag sets to share later on this week! How about you, what are you working on this week?

Hello Boho FUSIONS!

Have you seen Art Gallery Fabrics new division, FUSIONS? They announced these exciting new collections this past Fall and since they'll be available in February, I thought I'd share a little bit more about them today, particularly these beautiful Boho FUSIONS!



AGF's debut line of FUSIONS includes four bite size collections featuring prints from all AGF designers arranged in conceptual themes ~ Abloom, Boho, Ethereal, and Joyful!



I'm so thrilled to have three of my most popular prints from Fleet & Flourish recolored to offer amongst the Boho group in the form of three new quilting cottons, a new knit, and one as Art Gallery's newest substrate, the most luxurious rayon!









It's can't tell you how exciting it is to join fellow AGF designer's Bari J, April Rhodes, and Pat Bravo to create this new collection! I requested a bundle as soon as they could send one and when it arrived I completely fell in love! The colors and style of this Boho group are so perfectly me, I can't wait to sew with them!



How about you, which group from the new FUSIONS division is your favorite? You can see them all right here -- http://liveartgalleryfabrics.com/fusions-agf-studio/  Of course I'll be sure to share the other groups in the days ahead as well, but I'm sure it's obvious as to why these are my personal favorites! :)

Later this afternoon I plan to share on my Instagram a first peek at the super exciting, secret project that's been in the works for weeks now! I hope you stop by and join me!  ♡ Maureen
