Plus Free Pattern Downloads & Fabric Bundle Sale!
This week, because we aren’t quite ready to unveil what we’ve been working on for a while, we decided to hunt down lots of bright & cheery fabrics to just get us all over that hump of the winter doldrums. We’ve come up with some great options as fabric “Stash Booster Bundles” for you and are giving you a great price for them [as low as $6.67/per yard!]. Last, but not least, we’re also offering some really cool free pattern downloads if you need an idea of what to do with your new fabrics!
We hope that you all smile along with us and have a blast starting a new project.

THIS WEEK’S QUILTING BLOG CONTENT
We have a surprise for you!
We’re still working on the big project we hoped to unveil this week. But, that’s going to work to your benefit this time.
Easy Quilt Inspiration – It’s time to have some fun fresh stuff in our life again!
We think that maybe a new project that had bright colors or just made you smile would be the perfect remedy for the winter doldrums. Caution: Inspiration ahead!

New colors, new fabrics, and new projects – the perfect winter blues remedy
We’ve picked out 7 different fabric combinations that we will be putting on sale this week: We’re calling them Fabric “Stash Boosters!” We’re going to add a little bit to your stash and maybe you can add a little bit to this and come up with an absolutely fabulous project when you’re done.

We’ve picked out different themed groupings of six fabrics each that we’ve put together for you. We then created a collection of FREE DOWNLOADABLE QUILT PATTERNS that you’re welcome to use for a new project.
Fabric Bundle: “Best Friend” Fabrics
As you can see this one’s all doggies so we have some really fun fabrics we’ve included. We tried to add a fabric that would act as a background and then another fabric that would work as a contrast or a solid.

Fabric Bundle: “Stand And Salute”
This fabric grouping features Americana / patriotic-themed prints. And you just have to have a diagonal print, don’t you?! This beautiful collection of patriotism would be perfect for Memorial Day or July 4th / Independence Day.

Fabric Bundle: “Paws on My Heart”
We had to include a fabric bundle for cat lovers, too! So, we’ve got some cute little kitty prints with a nice little background that has cat faces on them too.
PLEASE NOTE: We sold out of our original bundle of fabrics and have a new set now available.

Fabric Bundle: “E-I-E-I-O”
Are you singing that song now?! We are! “Old McDonald had a farm…” We just had to include pink piggies with our farm-themed fabrics. One of the fabrics is great – it includes a nice, big farm print. That, along with the tractors, cows, and chickens, we think this would make an adorable children’s quilt!

Fabric Bundle: “Peter Cottontail”
Of course, with Easter coming up here in a bit, we had to include a fabric bundle theme with bunnies, chicks, Easter Eggs, and those diagonal striped prints we love to use.
[3:47 minutes]
Fabric Bundle: “Bright and Sassy”
We love the bright and cheery feelings you get from this cotton fabric bundle! We just wanted something that was fun on the inside and the outside and these really fun colors go together so well.
[4:07 minutes]
PLEASE NOTE: We have sold out of this fabric bundle.
Fabric Bundle: “Spring Splash”
This fabric bundle offers the same happy feelings as the “Bright and Sassy” bundle with a little more subdued color palette. These fabrics scream Spring with peach/coral tones. We included a little bit of a dark accent so you have some contrast.

PLEASE NOTE: We sold out of our original bundle of fabrics and have a new set now available.
Fabric Bundle: “Luck of the Irish”
And then, of course, coming right up we have St Patrick’s Day so we created this fabric bundle full of St. Patty’s Day designs, including a nice background and contrasting print.
