I just came across these funny photos and thought I would share. I do a lot of the photography for our pattern books. This pillow was a last minute project we added so I was home on a weekend and needed to quickly get the photo taken. Wilson kept crashing my photo shoot so that he could sit on the blanket, and the funny thing is that he brought a book along for the fun. Oh boy, what a kid! You'd never know looking at the photo above that I had such a great helper :)

FREE Princess Quilt Pattern
I love our new Princess fabric collection! The pinks and gray jump right out to me. This line was recently featured in the Winter issue of Quilt Trends magazine. I am so excited about the new line that I thought it would be fun to give you a free quilt pattern. It's a great quilt for beginners, it may look complicated but it's a very easy disappering nine patch quilt. The Princess fabric is available here on our website. Happy Sewing!

Buggy About You Quilt...
This fun quilt was made by me! It my favorite quilt I have sewn so far. I love sewing yo yos! And these giant yo yos melt my heart. I first learned to make yo yos from my Grandma Jackie and I think I made about a million the summer she taught me.
This quilt took me quite a bit of time but I would haul my fabric, needle & thread around in my purse and work on them here and there when I had a minute. We made several trips to the park this summer and while the boys were playing I would be stitching. The inspiration for this quilt came from my new little baby boy. I made sure I snapped some pictures of him on the quilt.
Pattern available in the Bugaboo Pattern Book.

Western Quilt...
Our local quilt shop, Stylish Fabrics/Bernina in Logan, Utah ordered in our Buckaroo Fabric line. We were so excited to hear that they had put together a quilt so my mom and I took a long lunch and stopped by to see for ourselves. Isn't it wonderful? They used the pattern from our Vintage Groove Pattern Book.

Quick Appliqued Onesies...
Recently our neighbor welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their family. I immediately knew the perfect gift! I wanted to make her cute appliqued onesies with our new Buckaroo fabric. Here's how:
What you need:
Onesie
Fabric - I used Buckaroo Blocks Brown.
Scissors
Heat N Bond
Iron
1. Trim the Heat N Bond to the shape you are fussy cutting. I like to keep the shape square or rectangle because it will make the next few steps easier.
2. Peel off the back layer of Heat N Bond and iron onto the backside of the fabric. Follow instructions on the Heat N Bond packaging.
3. Fussy cut your fabric.
4. Peel off the Heat N Bond wrapper exposing the adhesive on the fabric.
5. Carefully center the image and iron onto the onesie, following Heat N Bond instructions.
Isn't that so simple?! If you want to take your onesies one step further check out these from our Buckaroo Pattern book.

Buckaroo Fabric Collection...
Back in January we were preparing for our biggest scrapbook show of the year. In the midst of madness and chaos our third fabric line arrived, The Buckaroo Collection. We took the day to unpack and haul around boxes while the design department wrapped up our scrapbook collections. Here at ADORNit the word "multi task" takes on many meanings! The picture above is all our go-to guys who helped unload pallets of fabric. Pictured left is my brother Don, Eric my husband, Boston my son, Nate who is Ali's husband, Steve and Spencer who are friends, my Dad, and little guy Daxton. What would we do without wonderful family?!
The Buckaroo Collection is cowgirl/cowboys dream come true! It is availabe in three different colorways blue, red, and brown. It is filled with cowboy boots, stars, western words, horseshoes, and rodeo prints.
We have been busy shipping the line to fabric stores the past month so check at your favorite quilt shop to see if they're carrying it. Here's some beautiful projects created by our designer Tammy Andersen which will be featured in our upcoming Buckaroo Pattern Book.
