I recently had the chance to do some sewing with my fellow Michael Miller designer, Tamara Kate's fabric from her new JOY collection and I'm reminded once again of how talented an artist she is! Just look at these beauties... In fact, they're all so gorgeous it was hard to narrow down what I wanted to make first, but since I've been spending a lot of time lately sitting and waiting I thought it might be a nice opportunity to do some epp handsewing. I also knew I wanted to make something I would see everyday so I decided on a new throw pillow for the living room using large hexagons to really showcase the prints. And since I've been on a blue and green kick lately I opted for a focused color
If you've seen photos of my Flower Shop booth from Quilt Market this past fall, then chances are you've seen all the fabric cacti and houseplants I had on display. Well, now you can make your own! I just finished writing up a bundle of free patterns and tutorials for you guys. And seriously, they're so easy... and addictive! Super easy to customize to whatever shape / size / length you want so there's no limit to how unique or extensive your cactus garden can be. Not to mention that they'll always be adorable, no matter how little you water them, or how little sun they get. Perfect for windowless nooks that need a little brightening. Click here to download the pattern/tutorial. Enjoy!!
I'm really excited to say that Flower Shop is now officially shipping to stores! It debuted this past fall at Quilt Market in Houston with Michael Miller Fabrics and I'm so glad it's finally available, just in time for spring sewing. (Click the image above to download a pdf file of the flyer) Below are some links to a few of my favorite places to shop online: Hawthorne Threads (they also have fat quarter bundles in stock) Fabric.com (I believe yardage only, no bundles) I'll be posting more on the individual fabrics and some special projects very soon, but here's a parting shot of how my Quilt Market Booth turned out.
Hi there, I'm so glad you found your way here! Due to complications involving me inadvertently letting my previous blog domain expire on Blogger (www.beckandlundy.com) and then someone else purchasing it and importing ALL MY content onto a different platform (Wordpress) blog of the same name, I am beginning a new blog here while I sort out what the heck is going on and what to do about it!! Meanwhile, I've re-activated my old blog under the default Blogger address: www.beckandlundy.blogspot.com. If you go to www.beckandlundy.com you will be at someone else's website (even though it looks almost identical to mine on Blogger and has all the same content). I have no control over what they post
