Several of my Ready, Set, Go designs are now on cuddle fabric! You can see the complete line over at Shannon Fabrics. They are so, so cuddly! We updated a few of the their colors. There’s a total of 6 designs, which I’ve listed below. I also have Princess Life, Urban Zoologie and Jingle available on cuddle.
This print is “Honk” in Royal. It’s one of my favs!
In classic shades of blue, navy and red, these designs are “Take Off” in Baby Blue and “Chugga, Chugga” in Scarlett.
And last, but definitely not least, is “Honk” in a fun color way of Teal.

Looking for a fun duffle back pattern for your next weekend getaway? Gingercakes has a great duffle bag pattern, available in both kid and adult sizes. The bag is roomy inside, with the option of adding a interior pocket. There’s also a pocket on the outside of the bag. We used my Remix wide fabric, along with my Remix grid for the interior. Gingercakes was able to make an additional tote bag out of the 1 yard of 108″ wide fabric. (See the other bag here.) Head here for the full pattern and here for a complete look of her awesome patterns.

This bag is full of all kinds of happy! The pattern is the Day Off Bag pattern by Gingercakes. We used my new apples from my Back to School fabric collection, along with coordinating Kona solids. And we mixed things up a bit for the inside, using my Remix dots. The bag pattern includes sizes for adults and kids, as well as a “mashup” combo of the adult size and kid size. The boxy bottom is one of my favorite features of the bag. There’s plenty of room in the bag for you to carry plenty of items, as well as an interior and exterior pocket. Two thumbs up, Gingercakes. This is one awesome bag!

We mixed and matched two of my favorite Remix fabric prints for a fun summer outfit. To create our playful attire, we used the Sunny Top & Dress pattern by SewVery and the Sycamore Shorts Pattern by Sew Like My Mom. (The fabrics used in these projects are listed below). Happy Summer!
One of the sweetest things about the Sunny Top is the back. The straps and bow are precious.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for THIS ice cream quilt! This is one fun quilt! Once I saw Sylvia Sutters of A Stranger View’s Mod Ice Cream Quilt pattern, I was giddy. It’s the perfect summer quilt . . . reminiscent of childhood trips to the ice cream shop, tasting all the flavors before settling on a new favorite. Using my Remix prints and yummy Kona solids, this quilt is all about playfulness and color. To make one, head here for the pattern. There’s also a pattern for the pillow which you can find here.
We went with simple quilting, which I love.
Scrappy colorful binding is always a win!

One of my favorite things about being a fabric designer is seeing all the cool things that are being made with my fabric. I stumbled upon the brand, Made to Play, recently. Their store is full of fun items. They’ve used my chickens and owls in children’s aprons, as well as my plus print in fabric bunting.
They also have super hero capes and these really fun dino capes. They’re not made from my fabric, but they’re too adorable not to share with you. Be sure to visit Made to Play to see all of their fun handmade goodies!

I’m super excited to share with you my new fabric collection, Sea and Sun. If you’ve been a reader of this blog for awhile, you’ve heard me talk about the beach. I spent many of my summers at the beach. Playing in the sand, jumping waves, building sand castles, collecting sea shells, etc. are just a few things we’d do. I hope you enjoy this fabric collection inspired by one of my favorite places to be.
