Sweetwater https://www.thesweetwaterco.com Make Life Sweet Fri, 01 Mar 2024 20:33:42 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.4 66941005 Stitched https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/stitched/ Fri, 01 Mar 2024 20:33:36 +0000 https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/?p=51053 Say hello to something completely new! We call it “Stitched”, and, of course, it’s for all you just love to stitch! We took some of our most popular designs (along with some new ones) and made them into embroidery. Stitched is a club where you receive a full sheet of those designs each month. They can be used on a variety of items- quilts, runners, bags or simply framed. Here is a peek at what we have planned for Stitched.

Now for the details.

Stitched will ship monthly. Each shipment will include a full sheet of embroidery designs. There will be a variety of sizes on each sheet- from around 2″ to 6″. The process is simple. Choose a design from the sheet, cut around the image, peel off the backing and adhere to the desired fabric. After stitching, the stabilizer sheet easily rinses away. No tracing required!

Where you use the designs is up to you. From a tshirt to a bag, they can be used just about anywhere. The shipment will also include full color photos for inspiration and a stitch guide. The first Stitched shipment will go out in April. Sign up here!

Just An Update…. https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/just-an-update-2/ Fri, 16 Feb 2024 19:25:23 +0000 https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/?p=51037 We have a lot of things going on! Here are some highlights:

First, we expanded our Tagged program. Over the years, we have heard from customers wanting more room to add additional information on their personalized quilt labels. We started Tagged+ for those wanting more. More labels, more room, more embellishments. Here is a look at some examples of our Tagged labels mixed with Tagged+ labels.

In the above example, the Tagged label is the personalized label, and the additional labels are included in Tagged+. For example, below shows the Tagged label on the left. With Tagged+, you get both the labels below.

If you are a current subscriber and would like to upgrade your subscription to Tagged+, please email us and we will take care of it on our side. If you don’t have a subscription, you can sign up for either Tagged or Tagged+ here.

While we are adding things, we have started a new add on for Project Sweetwater. We have heard countless times that our subscribers would like the option to add more fabric to their Project Sweetwater box. Since we now have Tagged+, we decided to call this new add-on Project Sweetwater+. This is for those of you who want cream fabric to add to their projects, as well as larger pieces (1/2 yard cuts) from the featured collection. There’s even an option to add backing. Please keep in mind that if you are happy with your Project Sweetwater box the way it is, there is no need to do anything. It will remain the same. However, if you would like to add on fabric, this is for you. To do so, make sure to follow these steps:

  1. Do NOT cancel your Project Sweetwater box.
  2. Sign up for a reservation for the add-on. You can do that here. There are two options, depending on how much fabric you would like.
  3. This program won’t start until the September, 2024 box. As with all things fabric, ordering, availability and delivery take time and planning.
  4. We need to know if you would like this add-on by February 20. We will have limited availability for subscriptions to this add-on after that, but you can reserve your spot now! The reservation is $1.00 to hold your spot. You can do that here.

Speaking of Project Sweetwater, we anticipate the March boxes will ship a little early. We are crossing our fingers the Vintage fabric will arrive in the next couple of days. If so, we will ship next week. Here is a little peek of the Vintage box.

If you follow us on Instagram we also announced the return of one of our most loved collections. Lucy’s Crab Shack (which debuted in 2012) will be featured in our June box! Please keep in mind that Lucy will only be in Project Sweetwater. Moda was kind enough to let us bring back a taste of this collection for our subscribers, but it won’t be in stores. Here is a little peek of this collection way back when.

If you have a Project Sweetwater subscription, you are in luck and will receive the Lucy’s Crab Shack box. If you would like to get the box, you might want to grab a subscription here to ensure you get it. When we have special boxes, subscriptions do sell out at times.

Have a wonderful weekend!

All Things Vintage…. https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/all-things-vintage/ Tue, 12 Sep 2023 04:31:48 +0000 https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/?p=50932 If you follow us on Instagram, you know all about our latest collection called Vintage. If you don’t, here is a quick overview. Months ago, when we were deciding on a theme for a new fabric collection, we discovered we had designed over fifty fabric collections for Moda. Wow. That’s a lot. I didn’t know if we should celebrate or have a pity party that we are getting kinda old. Lol. We decided to celebrate.

We thought it would be fun to go back in the archives, choose some of our favorite prints and put them all together in a new collection. That was sooooo much easier said than done. The biggest problem is all of our favorites really didn’t go together to make a useable, cohesive collection. There were problems with scale, color and themes. We had to take a different approach. We chose a few of our very favorite designs and then built the collection around them. But we had so many favorites. With all the colorways and designs, there are between 1800-2000 individual pieces of fabric. It honestly took longer than designing a complete new collection. After weeks of looking, many discussions and a few disagreements, we came up with a collection we absolutely love. Meet Vintage.

Now for a peek at the quilts. The first one is called “Bloom“.

Next up is Bliss. I love this one for a boy.

The final quilt is called “Lollipop Garden“.

As always, we are offering pre-orders on the quilt kits as well as the Vintage pre-cuts. You can find all things Vintage here. Pre-orders will close on October 5. Happy Tuesday!

Main Street https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/main-street/ Thu, 13 Apr 2023 13:54:09 +0000 https://www.thesweetwaterco.com/?p=50868 We have a brand new fabric collection! It’s called Main Street. Here is the backstory.  About a year ago, just as we were beginning to think about this collection, we found out that our little hometown of Fort Morgan, Colorado was chosen to be featured on HGTV’s Hometown Takeover. Wow. That was such exciting news for everyone here. While they didn’t need our help (boo), we thought we could at least design the collection around our hometown. But…. we already designed a collection called “Hometown” many years ago. So…..we decided to call it Main Street. Most of the renovations you see will take place on that street in Fort Morgan. We thought most people could relate to “Main Street”, and the collection was born. The color palette includes the iconic green color of most street signs, the most beautiful light blue and a little taupe and black to round out the collection.

Here is a look at the quilts. The first one is called “City Center“.

The second one is super easy and quick- but it perfectly shows off all of the fabric. This one is called “Mixed Bag“.

We are offering the quilts kits as a preorder. This collection arrives in October. If you would like to preorder a kit or any of the fabric precuts, you can do so here.
