We Love It Wednesday was such a HUGE success that we thought it deserved it’s very own follow-up post;). First, we’d like to send a hearty congrats to our BIG winner, Jackie!!
As usual, we used random.org to select our winner. Jackie was #44 out of 84 entries!!
Second, we’ve got to give you all a shout-out for some awesome project ideas. We saw everything from using cheesecloth in making soup to dying it and sewing it together to create a unique quilt. A handful of you are even planning to make your own cheese. (WOW!!) We’re consistently impressed with your creativity and resourcefulness. Please keep us posted and consider sharing images with us on Facebook of what you create.
Last, but not least… The Perfect Loft™ Cluster Fiber was a big hit and so many of you have plans for throw pillows, holiday gifts, travel pillows and even a few dolls! With that in mind, we’re happy to report that the Cluster Fiber is now available at your local Joann Fabric & Craft Stores AND as of yesterday, it is ON SALE for $6.99 down from $10.99. You can check out the deal via this week’s sales flyer.

Can you believe it’s already June? June 4th, to be exact, which means we’re now at the 16 day countdown until the first day of summer (June 20)! This particular Pellon® gal has been caught in an ongoing downpour since Saturday morning with no hope of reprieve for at least 3 more days. Here’s hoping the rest of you are basking in some sort of late-Spring sunshine, lounging next to a garden of flowers with a light breeze on your face. *sigh* Bliss.
All talk of the impending Summer season aside, it’s time for another Monday Madness Giveaway!
This month, we’re thrilled to introduce you to a brand new product in the Pellon® line. Crafters, Sewers & Quilters… meet Fabric Magic™.
How, you might ask, would you go about using this product? For the answer, let’s take a look at a textured pillow. You would first want to cut your piece of Fabric Magic™ to match the size of your fabric. Sew the Fabric Magic™ to the wrong side of your fabric using any stitch pattern you’d like, be it simple or decorative. Lay on a flat surface (preferably an ironing board, or a pad on a hard surface.) Apply steam. Watch your fabric magically crinkle, creating a gorgeous textured piece.
This finished example was on display at our booth at Spring Quilt Market in Kansas City:
It uses a printed fabric block from the Daydreams collection designed by Stephanie Brandenburg for Camelot Cottons.
The Fabric Magic™ was stitched to the fabric block to match and enhance the pattern, after which steam was applied to achieve the gorgeous results.
A little more about Fabric Magic™:
- Shrinks fabric up to 30% to add texture and dimension to projects
- Quick and easy to use
- Results are permanent and will last through laundering
- Washer and Dryer safe
- 100% Polyester
The product retails in various sizes, but today, we are giving away 1 package containing a 30″ x 1 yard piece. And, just because we love sharing the love, we’re adding in 2 yards of our new 300 thread count fabric!
Pellon® 300 Thread Count Fabrics:
- Soft and supple in sophisticated colors to coordinate with your home décor
- Made with deluxe 100% natural long staple Indian Cotton
- Machine wash warm. Tumble dry low or dry clean.
- Available in black, white, brick, gold, wine, taupe, ivory, brown, spa blue, & kiwi green
The contest winner can choose to have 2 yards in 1 color OR 1 yard each of 2 different colors.
