Craftsy


If you haven't checked out Craftsy yet, you're missing out. Once you set up a free account, you can enroll in online classes, 23 of which are free. These classes are available to watch online any time and never expire. You can retake the class as many times as you like, and even replay sections using the 
30-second repeat feature. You can communicate with your teacher and other students online, and even show your work in a special a projects section of the website. While there are many quilting classes, you can also explore topics such as photography, cake decorating, sewing, knitting, painting,  cooking, and more. Patterns and supplies are available too! For example, I have a series of free patterns for my Drive Through Quilt-Along.

Juvenile Prints

Free Shipping on orders $35+

I love these Girl Friends and Super Kids prints by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman.




There are also some great border prints by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller that would make a great girl's skirt. The first is from "Children at Play", and the second is from "Let's Pretend".


Sarah Jane also designed the adorable collection, "Out to Sea". 

  


Check out this geometric print from "The Circus" by Marie Perkins for Robert Kaufman.


Low volume choices don't get any cuter than "Little Red Riding Hood" by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake.


By now it's obvious I have a little girl, so I'll throw in "Once Upon a Time" by Alexander Henry paired with Cloud 9's "The Land That Never Was" to round out my list of favorites.
