My Favorite Prints
Whenever we have a new fabric collection, we design art prints to coordinate. I have loved all of them, but these new ones from Lucy are my favorite. I love them because they are so happy, they remind me of summer and they look so cute together. I am going to hang 6 of them together in my little boy's …
They are posted!
The fabric kits for our May Label Crew project have just been listed in our store. You can choose from the Reunion kit: Or the Lucy's Crab Shack kit: Here's the thing. We have been getting several e-mails and calls about this particular kit, so I'm thinking it may go pretty fast. We have a very limited amount of Lucy's …
Something New For Lucy…
We thought we would make some fun charms that coordinate with Lucy's Crab Shack. These can be personalized with any name or word: These would look adorable on a backpack: And the next 2 are some prints from the fabric line: They are available in our shop now. Just a reminder- our Random Acts of Kindness ends tomorrow if …
Our Weekend In Portland
It has been 2 weeks since we visited Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe in Portland for their SPRUNG event. We've been so busy with everything else, I haven't gotten a chance to tell you a little about it. First off, I've never been to Portland before. I haven't even been to Oregon before. This is the first thing I noticed: It …

I walked into our office the other day and just started laughing. All I could say is " Really?!!! We've done this now three times!". Which I got a swift reply of "If it's not broken, don't fix it!". Here's what I'm talking about. Number one: Number 1 just happens to be the most popular item we have ever done. …

But our new Label Crew project may get you ready for my favorite season of the year. This table runner will be perfect for summer. On May 1st, …
Hello Lucy…
When it rains it pours. Thank goodness it has been pouring fabric here for the last few weeks. I know we just showed you our new Mama Said Sew collection (due in stores in August, not September as I previously posted!). On Monday, Lucy's Crab Shack showed up. It is a huge contrast to Mama Said Sew, but I love …
Twins!
About a year ago, I became obsessed with Vanessa Christenson's Houndstooth Quilt. I love, love, love it. Everybody here loved it. Problem is, we never have time to actually make something for fun. You know, something not Sweetwater related. But…….. My mom surprised us at Christmas. She made both my sister and I the Houndstooth Quilt. In red. Exactly …
I Missed It…
You may remember that last year in March the fun people at fatquarterly.com came up with what I thought was a brilliant idea: March Madness for fabric. Mostly because I love, love, love sports (if you have been reading this blog for a while, you get that). And what could be better than combining fabric with sports? So I was …
