Designer’s Dozen at Sew, Mama, Sew!

I was talking with Kristin of Sew, Mama, Sew! at Quilt Market and mentioned that I’d love to do a fat quarter selection on her blog. If you’ve been reading Sew, Mama, Sew! for a while now, you may remember the guest packs selected by Amy Karol, Rashida Coleman-Hale, and Alicia Paulson. It’s like a stroll down fabric memory lane, isn’t it? Kristin agreed to let me pick out some fabrics and even sent me my own pack!

I’ve already cut into these to use for a project in 1, 2, 3 Quilt. This color combination is one that I’ve been using a lot of lately, as I love mixing different shades of one color — here mostly greens and blues. Plus I added some of my favorite mustard yellow with pops of orange. Of course I included one of my prints, but I also have Lizzy House, Melody Miller, Lucie Summers, and Denyse Schmidt represented here, among others. So, head over to Sew, Mama, Sew! and pick up a pack before they run out!

Handmade in Atlanta

I’ve been meaning to write about a new handmade shop that opened here in Atlanta recently. The Indie-pendent is a space committed to a handmade lifestyle, featuring work from some of my favorite artists.

Beth Lord, the owner of the store, has created a warm and welcoming space in this amazing location. She sells high-quality work from artisans from all over the country whose work is not found elsewhere in Atlanta. Wares include jewelry, baby items, furniture, ceramics, pillows, scarves, and more. The shop is a huge space with an amazing workshop on the second floor where there will be classes on canning, knitting, felting, photography, kids’ crafts, gardening, sewing, and more!

And good news for those of you outside of Atlanta — you can order from the Indie-pendent online! If you’re in Atlanta, the shop is in Virginia Highland (in the former Knitch space down the alley off St. Charles). Now there are three spaces dedicated to handmade just within a few blocks: Ten Thousand Villages, Youngblood Gallery & Boutique, and now the Indie-pendent. And if you head down Moreland not too far away, you can visit The Beehive and make a lovely day of handmade shopping!
