Customer Spotlight: Sandy

Hi everyone!

About a week ago, I announced our monthly FQ promo winner for March.  Well, when Sandy contacted us to claim her prize, she also sent us some pictures of the totes she made with the fabrics she purchased. 

Thanks so much for sharing your work with us, Sandy!  :-)

Do you have a project you'd like to share with us? We'd love to feature it on our blog ... please email us at sewlux (at) gmail (dot) com and let us know.

I am really hoping that Brown stops by tomorrow with some fresh bolts of Just Wing It so I can add it to the shop :-) I'll let you know ...

Happy Sewing!

Charmed

Hi everyone!

Recently, when we asked what kinds of projects you wanted to see patterns and instructions for, many of you mentioned wanting some quick-finish projects and charm-friendly projects.  While those big quilts are beautiful, sometimes finishing something quickly sure is nice!

Today I worked on finishing a WIP (work-in-progress) that I've had laying around for awhile and its turning out pretty cute, I think.  :-) It's about 24 x 30, perfect for a wall hanging to show off your favorite prints or for a cute stroller quilt for a special wee one.  Since it is fairly small, it is definitely a weekend or afternoon/evening-friendly type of project and I will be sharing some instructions and photos in a few days. But for now, here's a sneaky-peeky ...

Thanks for stopping by ... I'll see you soon!

Happy sewing!

On the way ...

Hi again ...

We just got the shipping notification that our Just Wing It by MoMo collection is on the way!  I am really excited to play around with this collection and have already been prepping some bundles to add to the shop!  Here's the collection we'll be getting ...

Talk to you soon!  As always, happy sewing! :)

Sunkissed Sampling ...

Hi and Happy Wednesday!  My mom (the other half of Sew Lux) sent over this lovely little bundle of Sunkissed prints ... aren't they pretty? 

Now, I just need to figure out which project I want to make with them!  Any suggestions?  Which print is your favorite?

Happy Sewing!

Pinwheel Stitch Along Week 4

Hiya!  This is Week 4 of the Pinwheel Stitch Along and my plan was to just invite you to share a link to your pinwheel project.  Not done yet?  No worries, just link us up when you get done or share your current progress with us here or on our Flickr group page.

So far, I've gotten to finish my Bliss FQ version.  Here she is blowin' in the wind today ...

Also, I have the top for my charm version in Countdown to Christmas.  I am waiting until the yardage comes in to finish it.

I think if I turn it the other way and line it, it may make a really cute apron! :) What do you think?  (I know that my mister needs to work on his photography skills! haha)

Can't wait to see what you've made!

Fat Quarters and More Fat Quarters

Hiya!  Happy Friday!

Just wanted to share that our March FQ Promo Winner is Sandy M. from St. Louis!  Sandy, we'll be contacting you to get your selection!

Speaking of Fat Quarters, we've updated the sewluxfabric.com site with a brand new page so you can create your own fat quarter bundle.  Each collection has a item and all you have to do is select the print you want from the drop down menu. 

So now you can get FQs in just the prints you want without having to buy a preselected combination!  We hope you'll enjoy having this option!  All of our new collections will be added as we get them as well. :-)

See ya tomorrow ... Be on the lookout for your April newsletter tomorrow as well!

Happy Sewing!
