I got this preview of Tule in my email the other day and fell in love. I wish I could be going to quilt market next month to see what else Art Gallery is going to have coming out but this one for sure will mine!



I've really been into the triangles lately on designs for some reason. I guess other people are too with how well Indian Summer sold. The tepee prints were a hit. :)
Anyway, check out Art Gallery's video about this line below:

While browsing embroidery patterns on Urban Threads, I discovered this cute police box. Of course Kody saw it and had to have it on something so I decided I would put it on the corner of a plain blue shirt he had.
Since I have only had an embroidery machine for a few weeks I really didn't know how I was going to sew something on the front of it without attaching the back of the shirt to the front. I decided to take a piece of fabric and sew the tardis on that, then sew the "patch" to the t-shirt with my sewing machine.

I'm happy how it came out however curious as to how people embroider on shirts? Especially onsies.
The main reason I wanted the embroidery machine was to embroider cute things on Emma's clothes but unless I take out the side seam, embroider, then re-sew the seam, I don't see how it will work.
Does anyone have an embroidery machine that knows how to do this?

p.s. for Doctor Who fans there is a paper piecing quilt a long starting soon. Visit the Flickr group here.

So I was debating whether or not to purchase this line because the colors were not really my colors. I am more of a purple/pink/turquoise person.


However, the more I looked at my little swatch set of this the more it grew on me. I decided to make something out of it to see how it looked in an every day item and I must say I loved it.


Cloud9 has some other fun project ideas using this fabric line as well.
 Now if I can wait until Koi is available. :)

Hi! Welcome to my new blog.
I am a mom to three and live in the woods of Western North Carolina.
 I love sewing..

and FABRIC!
In fact, I love fabric so much that I opened a small fabric shop.

I hope to use this blog as a place to post all my sewing projects and fabric news. There are a lot of new sew.a.longs lately you can see my sidebar for the ones I've found/joined.

Thanks for visiting.
Staci :)
