Coral and teal Bird Quilt.....heaven!

My newest 3littlethimbles creation is finished!! 

I have a resent love of coral and teals.....this may be very apparent in this quilt

I used the co-ordinating fabrics from the line 'Flos Garden' by the Henley Studio. I have to say, I LOVE these fabrics. I couldn't even bring myself to throw out a 1 inch scrap!

To quilt it I used straight, and wavy lines with leaf imprints throughout! 

Which is a bit easier to see on the teal side. 

It is currently up on my etsy shop

New fabrics-New Quilting ideas

Today was a great day for my fabric stash! Lots of awesome new additions. 

I got some Joel Dewberry(for my big quilt giveaway), and Flo's garden in the mail today! 

I also stopped by our local fabric shop(which rarely has nice stuff, sadly) and picked up some cute pinks and got a killer deal on some red/green polka dot cottons. Oh and I bought my first Aurifil Quilting Thread, which I am so excited to test out!

This is  Flo's garden, I am in love!! The corals and teals and birds...oh my! This will be a quilt that i will have a hard time parting with ;) 

Yummy Pink/Peach and Coral cottons! Maybe I should just frame it to avoid cutting it up ;)

This was my amazing deal of the day!! My local quilt store had a shelf of these Dot(and chevron) colours in the clearance section marked 'as is'. Turns out they came pre-cut in 1 and 1.5 sections so they were clearancing them off. Lucky me!! I bought 1.5 meter of the red for $6 and 1 meter of green for $4(and it was the end of the bolt so I an additional .5 meters for free! Yippee! Gotta love these rare finds in Canada. Its rare....usually good quilting cotton is $14-$22 a meter

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST........

(drum roll please) 

The rest of the fabric for my quilt giveaway arrived!! I am hoping to have it all quilted up this weekend. 

3littlethimbles is almost at 1000 page likes!

I am 'sew' excited!!!! 

My facebook page is almost at 1000 page  likes. To celebrate I will be having a huge giveaway!

Want a sneak peek?????

I just ordered this material, along with a few others to make my giveaway prize!

I am going to be giving away a free crib sized quilt!! Valued at $90, and who knows.... I may add more to the giveaway pending how many entries we get :) 

So keep checking my blog, facebook page or #3littlethimbles on instagram 

I will post the giveaway once the quilt is complete and there will be multiple ways to enter. Thanks everyone for your support and getting me to 1000 page likes, without you...my dreams of having a sewing business wouldn't be possible. 

A changing of the seasons....

After a lot of soul searching, I've decided to make some major changes to 3littlethimbles.

This picture sums up my life for the past 2 years. I've sewn hundreds of Minky Blankets and stuffed animals for my amazing clients, and I have truly loved it! Sadly, my minky distributors prices have increased(as has their shipping and the exchange rate) which makes it impossible to compete with people in the U.S. So I have decided to clearance all my minky blankets....use my scraps in any way I can. Make some Minky stuffed animal, and then close the door. It's hard for me to do, because I still love and adore minky but I have my sights set on bigger and better things :)

Through this process of sewing minky blankets I have acquired a love and passion for quilting cotton, and sewing in general. Which has started the dreaming process for me. 

And when I dream, I dream BIG! 

I am not ready to announce what those dreams are but please bear with me over the next few months while I try to make these dreams take shape. You will see new things on my etsy shop....fabric bundles, patterns, and who knows what else. 

Above all I want to start making tutorials on this blog....to help women everywhere be able to sew. It is a skill that need not die or become rare. Basically, I want to help women be as good(or better) of a sewist than I am. 

I look forward to seeing where my dreams take me and I hope you all stay for the ride!!!
