Rubyellen Bratcher of Cakies has a brand new book out called, Let’s Sew Together. I’ve read Rubyellen’s blog for YEARS, watching her family grow and seeing all her cute crafts. When she announced she had a book coming out, I was so happy for her. I pre-ordered the book! The book is full of easy to hard sewing projects. Below is a video of the book which features some of the projects. Congrats, Rubyellen! I’m so very happy for you!

I have some exciting news to share with you! I created a custom Aurifil thread kit, full of my favorite colors! Aurfil has SO many gorgeous colors, so it was kinda hard narrowing down the colors. For a couple of seconds, I considered having an all pink kit, but I thought that would be totally unfair to my other color friends. In the end, we decided to coordinate the kits with my Remix prints. There are two sizes to choose from. The big set includes 12 colors (1422 yards each) and the small set includes 10 colors (220 yards each). The kits are popping up in stores. Be sure to ask your local quilt shop about them!
Birthdays are a big deal around here! We pull out the decorations, plan lots of fun activities and of course eat our favorite birthday sweets. I was looking through some of my birthday party invitation I designed for Tiny Prints. (These are just a couple of them. You can see all of them here). I still remember my birthday celebrations as a kid, whether it was a party or just cake and ice cream with the family, it’s one of my favorite childhood memories. And today, I’m so happy, I get to be a part of many families special day through my artwork on birthday invites. xo, Kelle
I’m happy to share with you that we’re releasing more Urban Zoologie prints with new colors on Shannon Fabrics “Cuddle”. Included in this release are my owls in new colors! Cuddle fabric is so, so soft. Seriously. While taking pictures of this fabric to share with you, I found myself wanting to stop and completely wrap myself in this soft-cuddly fabric and take a nap.

Super-duper excited to share these new prints with you today! We’re adding three new prints to my collection, This and That. This growing collection is full of my favorite things. Sunglasses, nail polish, and flip flops are all fun staples in my life. I wear sunglasses regularly, and flip flops everyday. Oh, and my affection for nail polish started at a young age. Although these prints are part of my daily life, they scream summer to me! Like a good day of relaxing under the sun with a freshly done mani or pedi.

Paper honeycomb balls! My affection started a couple of years ago and is growing more and more thanks to all the creative crafts incorporating these festive spheres. They’re just so fun!

I have a confession, I draw sweets because I can’t eat sweets all the time. I would LOVE to eat cake for breakfast, everyday-all day, but sadly I can’t. So, one day I sat down and drew cakes. All sorts of cakes. Cakes with chocolate. Cakes with strawberries. Cakes with sprinkles. You get the point. Lots of cakes. This new print is part of the Confections collection and ships to stores this month. And now I want to eat cake.
I was pretty excited when I saw the pictures of my Urban Flotologie prints in the Spring Issue of Quilt Trends. I knew it was coming, but I had no idea it would be this awesome! So bright and cheery! Sarah Price made this cuddly quilt, which is both quick and easy. She used my Urban Flotologie and Remix flannel prints in the quilt. To get a copy of the magazine for the quilt instructions, head here or here. The Fat Quarter Shop has also put together a kit for the quilt, which you can purchase here.

So, head over there for more details.
I went out of town a couple of weeks ago and left behind several of my little pouches and bags. The upside to this, is that it gives me an excuse to get brand spankin’ new bags, like this cutie coin purse by Hot4HandBags. This coin purse features my telephones. See more cute goods here.
(p.s. Every time I see this my telephone print, I can’t help but sing Mr. Telephone Man)
