I finally did a little computer work yesterday and woah - I’m so behind. BUT - I just added some new holiday items to my Society6 shop - mugs, wrapping paper, cards and more!! ❄️ Link in profile! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mockup #surfacepattern #surfacepatterndesign #patternobserver #patternobsessed #showyourwork #printandpattern #society6 #holidaygifts #christmasgifts⠀
I am so lucky to be part of the Riley Blake Designs family. Everyone in this picture - plus lots more that aren’t pictured made me feel so welcome at my very first quilt market. Market was so fun and a little bit overwhelming for this introvert. It is so fun and inspiring to be surrounded by so many talented and creative people. 🥰⠀ ⠀ #quiltmarket2019 #rileyblakedesigns #rbdfamily #iloverileyblake #fabricismyfun⠀ ⠀ 📷 Photo credit @rileyblakedesigns⠀ 📱 Reposted with @plannthat
If you are at quilt market come say hi!! I have some Strawberry Jam pins to give out.
Happy Monday!! It’s a new week and I will be sewing very happily most of the week. I finished this little wall hanging a few weeks ago and I keep forgetting to share. ⠀ ⠀ Fabric: Penny Rose Fabrics - Bluebirds on Roses ⠀ #rileyblakedesigns #fabricismyfun #rileyblakefabrics #quilting #quiltingfabric #quiltlove #pennyrosefabric #miniquilt #bluebirdsonrosesfabric⠀
I finished two mini quilt tops in two days. I stalked the mailbox on Monday waiting for the fabric to arrive...then had the first quilt top cut out and halfway done by 3p. I finished it by noon Tuesday and decided I had enough fabric left to try this super tiny mini. Next up quilting and binding. And...I’m on the lookout for more projects. 🧵 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #rileyblakedesigns #fabricismyfun #rileyblakefabrics #quilting #quiltingfabric #quiltlove #pennyrosefabrics #bluebirdsandrosesfabric ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
True story time - If we were having coffee today, I would tell you that my anxiety has gotten the best of me this month, but I’m trying to take some steps to get it under control. I wish I could say when I feel anxious that art helps BUT it doesn’t. 😔 In fact for me - the more anxious I feel - the WORSE my art gets. And the worse my art gets, the higher my anxiety goes, so instead of trying to power through, I’ve been trying some new things. ⠀ 1. Work out consistently (5 days in a row so far)⠀ 2. Complete some mindless chores around the house while listening to music. (Lizzo and Beyonce are on repeat. Also some random Dolly Parton...because my musical tastes are all over. Ok fine, also some Taylor Swift if I’m being totally honest. 🤷🏼‍♀️)⠀ 3. Instead of laying in bed fretting when I wake up waaay too early, I’ve been getting up, lighting a candle and having coffee while I read. (‭I slept till 5:30 today so... I practically slept the day away. 😂)⠀ ⠀ Hope you have a good day today, and if you are fighting off some anxiety, I’m right there with you. Hang in there!! ❤️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Monthly newsletter subscribers get new lock screens every month PLUS access to a library of all the previous month’s downloads and printables. ⠀ ⠀ Link to sign up in profile! ⠀ #newsletter #printables #digitaldownload #printandpattern #surfacepatterndesign #laurenbrewerdesign #calendar2019 #anxietyproblems #artiststruggles ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I used my printable notecards to make some chocolate chip cookies just a little cuter. (If that’s possible...there is chocolate, so they don’t really need anything else. 😂) 🍪🍪🍪 ⠀ ⠀ These little notecards were in this month’s newsletter - if you missed out, don’t worry! They are also in my subscriber library!!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #newsletter #printables #digitaldownload #printandpattern #surfacepatterndesign #laurenbrewerdesign ⠀ ⠀
It’s my birthday today and as a special present to my newsletter subscribers - I just added this pattern to my subscriber library!! 🍓 This project came together super fast. I added it to a flour sack tea towel - that again won’t get used but it looks pretty. 😂 French knots used to be my nemesis when I first learned to embroider but now I love them as evidenced by the number I added to the centers of each little flower. ⠀ ⠀ To get this free pattern and access to my subscriber library - sign up for my monthly newsletter.
