More from Fig Tree & Co!

Well hello again! And happy Monday to all of you out in blog land! I hope your weekend was full of creativity, time with loved ones and maybe even a little rest! ;)

A few posts ago I shared two new patterns for Spring from Fig Tree & Co and now I have a few more to gush about!

This is the Berry Sweet Bag! There just aren't words for how adorable this is! Perfect for a young girl or anyone young at heart! You can make it with a long, cross-body strap or with two shorter straps. So whimsical!

Clovers is the name of this amazing quilt and I'm in love! All you need to whip up this top is a layer cake or 3 charm packs and some background fabric! This traditional Card Trick block defintiely got a fresh face in this pattern!

And last but certainly not least is the ever-so-lovely Strawberry Cafe! This is a pattern for sweet little cafe curtains and a simple table topper. It seems like Joanna is in love with strawberries this season! I don't blame her, I'm in love with strawberries EVERY season! But unlike the ones you get at the grocery, these little home decor treasures are ALWAYS good!

As you have probably noticed, the blog has gotten a little bit of a facelift! We're slowly but surely trying to freshen up our website and blog so expect to see little changes here and there! If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear what you have to say, whether it's about the new look or if there's any topics you'd like to read about here! Our goal is to make all your visits to Cabbage Rose, whether in person or on the web to be a delightful as possible! So let us know what you think! Have a lovely week!

Give it to me simple!

Just wanted to pop in to let you all know that now ALL of the Amy Butler patterns on our website now have fabric requirements and size charts when applicable in the additional images! So if you're interested in one of her patterns you don't have to wait to receive it to pick out fabric for your project! For instance, if you wanted to purchase the "Rainy Days" rain coat pattern, you'll be able to see what size you'll need and how much fabric you need to purchase as well! We also have all of our Amy Butler Laminated fabrics linked to this pattern! Talk about simple, one-stop shopping!

Speaking of super simple things, last week we added oodles of Amy's new double-faced, pre-quilted fabrics! If you haven't caught wind of these yet, what they are is two of her lovely prints sandwhiching some poly batting and quilted in a diamond grid! All you need to do is add some binding for a practically instant quilt! She has these amazing quilted beauties in Midwest Modern and Love fabrics. Here are a few of my favorites!

Isn't this a fabulous idea?? I was just thinking last night how many things you could use these pre-quilted fabrics for! You could make tote bags, lap quilts, pot holders, a cozy jacket or even a laptop case! I've been wanting to snag one of Amy's Laptop and iPod Cover patterns for awhile but now I have to! I think the pre-quilted fabric will totally simplify the process! What would you make with them? We'd love to hear about it!

Too early for the holidays?

Is it really ever too soon to prepare for the holidays? I think not! We've been getting tons of great new holiday lines into the shop over the past few weeks and I thought I'd share my favorites wtih yall!

Here's a panel  from my new favorite Christmas line from Kate Spain, 12 Days of Christmas! She's done such a fresh color scheme for a Christmas line, pea greens and robin's egg blues...such a modern take on the classics. We'll be doing a kit with this line too so keep on the lookout for that!

And these are some of my favorite prints from the Boo to You! line by My Mind's Eye. This has to be one of the cutest Halloween collections I've ever seen! Such whimsical little characters that will make you scream "eeek!" out of excitement instead of horror! There's adorable polka dots, stripes and even precious little skull and crossbones! Yes, precious and skulls CAN go together! Who knew? I can see cute pairs of pj pants or even a pillowcase to carry some candy loot out of these adorable fabrics! Definitely worth a look!

So how soon do you start preparing for the holidays? I know Christmas gifts have crossed my mind already this year! And what could be better than a gift handmade with love? I know I would really like to make more things for my friends and family this year! How about you?

Wanna see the cutest thing ever???

Miss Madeline in the ever-so-popular Nie Nie Skirt, made by our very own Susanna! 

Those ruffles! Sooo adorable!

Look at this girl! Workin' it! She absolutely LOVED wearing this skirt! She couldn't stop twisting and twirling all over the shop! We're lucky to work with such an agreeable model! ;)

I think Grammie would have to agree!

We have so many moms coming into the shop these days looking to make their kiddos some extra-special duds! So if you have a little one that likes to stand out in a crowd, come and check out some of our fabulous fabrics and patterns! Your creations are bound to bring a big smile to a little face!

In Love with Heather!

Happy Monday to you all! Hopefully you've all had an creative and relaxing weekend! But as always, the weekend has to end and I thought I'd share some pretty to help get you through your week!

I have always been tickled pink by the lovely fabric lines of the ever-so-talented Heather Bailey, but lately, it's been her patterns that are stealing my heart! Here are a few that we added to the shop last week!

This is the New Leaf Folding Tote! These bags fold up into the size of a wallet so you can always keep them with you! Perfect to take with you to the farmer's market or grocery store so you can be earth-friendly and fashionable at the same time!

This expandable Market Bag is every woman's dream! Big enough to carry everything but the kitchen sink and yet small enough so you can actually FIND your cell phone! I would use it to sneak snacks brought from home into the movie theater! Shhhhh!

Aren't they precious! The Claira & Clancy Pig Dolls are too cute for words!

And Henrietta has to be the sweetest pincushion I ever did see!

I love that her patterns are really made for her fabrics! I personally couldn't imagine them any other way! If you're just dying to grab one of these patterns, be sure to check out her line Nicey Jane too! Every bit of it is gorgeous!

Extra, Extra!

Guess what? Cabbage Rose is featured in the Fort Worth Star Telegram today!! If you're in the area be sure to pick up a copy and cruise to the Life & Arts section to read our story! If you're can't get the hard copy, you can still read the article here! We are so proud!

New patterns!

I just love getting new things! But who doesn't?? After the girls came back from Spring Market I've been dying to get all the little beauties they ordered into the shop! So many things won't be out until fall but check out these adorable new patterns we just got in from Fig Tree & Co.!

This is Little Jellies! It comes with patterns for 3 different little zippered bags perfect for holding anything and everything! You could use one as a makeup bag, one to hold knitting needles...oh, who am I kidding? Like anyone could own this pattern and make just ONE of each! What I love is that you can use up all of your leftover jelly roll scraps to make them!

And this little number is Vanilla Bloom! A super cute chain quit, it's by far the neatest pattern I've seen in so long! Check out this completely different looking quilt made with the exact same pattern.

Can you believe it's the same quilt???  I couldn't at first, but if you look closely they've just inverted the cream and patterned fabrics. Genius!

Wow, I need to grab one of each of these before they're gone! I think they're gonna go fast! Hop on over to the shop to snag one for yourself!
