Back to school will be here in no time, and Casey

Back to school will be here in no time, and Casey @sewworthymama is on the blog with a new project to help capture those special moments! 🚌⁠
⁠
Casey created Pockets Full of Dreams, one part first-day-of-school photo prop on the front and one part unique keepsake “album” on the back! It’s the perfect recipe for a new family tradition! Made with our New Box of Crayons collection licensed by Crayola™, this pattern isn't just a project, it's a journey through their school years. ⁠
⁠
Visit our blog for all of the details on this keepsake project so that you can make your own before the coming school year! Blog link in bio.

Sara @rosehillquilts has fully embraced the Christ

Sara @rosehillquilts has fully embraced the Christmas in July spirit with her festive Table Runner made with Gingerbread Kisses! 🎁⁠
⁠
For this project, Sara made four present blocks, each one a little gift box of cheer. They’re simple to piece and easy to customize depending on the size of your table. This isn’t a formal pattern, but you can take the dimensions on our blog as a starting point and then tweak to fit your own space!⁠
⁠
Head over to our blog for more details, and check out Gingerbread Kisses fabrics by Doodlebug Design Inc. for all of your Christmas in July needs! Blog link in bio.

Charise @charisecreates is back on the blog with two purses she made with the adorable new Cloudburst line! ☂️⁠
⁠
The prints in Cloudburst by Jill Finley are a brilliant combination of umbrellas, rain clouds, florals and a cherry print for added cuteness. Charise used these fabrics to make the Rainy Day Purse and the sweet little Gathered Pouch that features the cherry trio from her book Super Cute Paper Piecing. You can find links to both patterns on our blog! Blog link in bio.

Tamara @remivailstudio is on the blog sharing her latest project featuring the Cozy Bébé fabric collection designed by Simple Simon and Co.! 🩵⁠
⁠
This soft, dreamy collection was the perfect match for a modern baby quilt. Tamara chose the Front Porch Quilt pattern by Quilter’s Candy to bring it to life. The pattern uses 3D Flying Geese in place of the traditionally pieced Flying Geese blocks. It’s also beginner friendly and quick to sew. Ideal if you’re on a timeline or want to sew up something heartfelt over a weekend! ⁠
⁠
Check out Tamara's entire blog feature for fabric and quilting details, along with a link to the Front Porch Quilt pattern! Blog link in bio.

You can download both on our blog, and visit your favorite online or local quilt shops for all the Covered Bridges in Spring fabrics! Blog link in bio.

Kelly @bykellyrenay is on the blog with a Small Dresden Pouch that's the perfect mix of playful and practical! ❤️⁠
⁠
One of the standout elements of this project is the dresden plate on the front of the pouch, which is the highlighting feature. It showcases prints from our A New Day batik collection beautifully! The prints in A New Day are rich and expressive, so even small wedges of fabric bring a lot of impact. You can find a link to the No.160 Sewing Pouch Pattern by Tomato Candy on our blog!
