Along with the print collection of DENIM & DAISIES, I would like to introduce you to this little accompanying collection of 15 woven fabrics. Plaids, dobbies, ginghams, tickings, and zigzags… each one perfect in its own right. I plan to collect and use these for a long time coming! Gosh these are so good for so many different things, including bags, backings [they are super soft] and garments. One of my friends is having a shirt made out of one of them and I think I might just do the same… the “dobby print” especially is calling my name and I have already used it on 4 different patch ..read more

Somehow I thought I had shared this here with you last month… but it looks like perhaps I did not SOOOO… better late than never, right?! Honestly, I think its okay since the fabric won’t start to hit stores until August, 2024. I am a denim kind of gal all the way and wear jeans pretty much every day of my life. Mixing the denim “vibe” into a collection has long been on my design wish list, and once I started mixing it up with my favorite orange and butterscotch colors, I knew I had discovered the perfect grouping of soft and strong. There is something about the utility of denim and strong b ..read more

Hello everyone! I am Lacey Poirier (@laceypoirier on Instagram) and I am happy to be here on Joanna’s blog to feature these fun PATCHWORK EASTER EGGS!

First carrots and now shamrocks… I have some serious Spring fever and it is absolutely distracting me from all the other things I am supposed to be doing! This simple little shamrock block is quick to put together and a fantastic stash buster! Seriously, any group of green scraps will look lovely together… the more variety, the better if you ask me. Be sure to grab the downloadable pattern sheet [link below] and keep scrolling for LOTS of setting options and styles to choose from. I raided our scrap bucket for these, but ..read more
