QuiltCon Fashion FUN + Vintage Valentines

Dear Fabric Friends, 

I have been busy preparing to attend QuiltCon Raleigh and demo with Oliso . The highlight for me will be reuniting with my good friends Michele Muska, Brandy Maslowski and Denyse Schmidt (all pictured below), and seeing so many of my quilty friends.

 

Recently I had a fun chat with Brandy on her YouTube channel, Quilter on Fire, so check it out if you haven't had a chance. She also has a list of amazing podcast episodes with so many talented industry folks, so click below to enjoy some fun conversations!

At QuiltCon, I will be sharing patterns and stories from my book, Love You to Pieces. I will bring along my new ABC Flour Sack towels, created in partnership with Colonial Patterns and this FREE Iron-on transfer Donna stitched into a pincushion. Not going to Raleigh? No worries, I will share a blog post next week with the embroidery design as PDF download. 

QuiltCon fashion will be in full swing. From cozy quilted jackets to embellished statement pieces, creativity shows up in every stitch. For some fun inspiration, visit my QuiltCon DIY Jackets blog featuring the number one embellished item: jean jackets! 

I recently thrifted this military car coat and have had so much adding patches of my Around the World Treasured Threadz® fabric embellished with 12-weight Crossroads Thread, and pearl buttons, of course. I can't wait to see all the fabulous handmade fashion in Raleigh.

If you happen to be in Kansas City the weekend of February 13th to the 15th, you can find my book Love You to Pieces: A Gift of Friendship in the Happiness Handmade booth at The KC Love Event at Union Station! This indoor shopping event will be full of fabulous vendors and fun for the whole family.

For some Vintage Valentine inspiration, head over to my YouTube channel and revisit Vintage Made Modern Episode 2 where I share the second chapter of Vintage Notions , I share some of my favorite valentine hankies and fun projects to create with these textile treasures. Looking for more Hankie project ideas? Check out this video.
