Hello Fig Tree Friends! Have you heard that we are are about to start our first ever SEW ALONG?We will be doing one of our brand new patterns, just released this week… it is called CROCHET… even though it is obviously not crochet :-)… it is a quilt that is my personal ode to the gorgeous art of the granny square afghan! For as long as I can remember, I have loved the classic granny square afghan, each multi colored block on a black crocheted background… just love them. I have tried to learn how to crochet and knit and its just a NO GO for me LOL. Believe me I have tried on numerous occasions. So one day, I set out to design a quilt that felt like everything that I loved about that granny square afghan and this is that pattern. I will talk…
Our 2019 Block of the Month Programs are underway!
JUST A BIT OF INFO TODAY We have been getting a lot of questions about our BOM programs lately so thought I would post all the info in one place… If you have been following along on our quilting adventures for a while you will know that over the last few years we have fallen in love with BOMS… otherwise known as BLOCK-OF-THE-MONTH programs. There is something so very satisfying about working on just a few unique blocks each month all year long and then having such a magnificent sampler done at the end. It is a totally addictive process if you ask me! For those of you who participate in those programs, this is all old hat to you. For those of you who have no idea what these programs consist of… here is some info: Some BLOCK OF THE MONTH programs out…
So here are some more fun photos of the other patterns we have coming with the upcoming Chantilly collection. With each new collection we design [which happens anywhere from 2 to 3 times a year], we release a new set of patterns. These patterns are almost always done in the fabrics of that collection. But that doesn’t always mean that you have to do them that way. I hope to post more photos soon of some of these current patterns done in different palettes. But for now, yesterday I showed you TRELLIS and GARDEN GATE. Today I will feature MILK & BLOSSOMS and HANKIES 1,2,3. First up, MILK & BLOSSOMS. To answer the most commonly answered questions for this pattern: Yes, it is all pieced. No appliqué, no paper piecing and no templates. All of the pieces are totally straightforward and use our favorite SEW&…

ARE YOU JOINING US THIS YEAR?? We are so very excited about this year’s wool program.. we can hardly contain ourselves. For the last 2 years, we have done a large wool quilt as our mystery wool project and it has been crazy crazy popular with our customers. We have really loved working on each one. Why is it such a favorite you ask? 1- Because the colors of these wools are just too amazing… really… just look at them! Fig Tree colors at their best in the best wool on the market [made for us by Weeks Dye Works]! 2- Because wool is such a fabulous medium to work with if you want to try out a little appliqué… that is because it doesn’t have to be turned under at all. You cut out the shape and stitch it down. Its amazing…
I just wanted to send a quick update to everyone about 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS shopping and shipping! We have just finished up our best 12 DAYS sale we have ever had and we want to thank you for shopping with us! We were able to offer more of most items so things didn’t sell out quite as fast as in past years. And even though most goodies, especially the fabric ones, went very quickly, we had lots and lots of new sale shoppers who filled up their boxes and we are so grateful for that! 1- As of now, we have been packing and shipping your boxes since Wednesday and will continue to do so for at least a few more days before we reach the end of the line. So please be patient with us! 2- Right now, all of the boxes that haven’t…
Hello Fig Tree Friends- It’s the 10th day of the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SALE but since the elves took some shipping breaks in between… and maybe a little bit of a nog break while they were at it… it is the last and final day of the sale today, Tuesday. Since its the last day of the sale this is how it works: Today at 9:00 am, we will post the final day’s bundle, gift and notion item. A few hours later we will add in a few more items, and then a few more. We will not post anything else “officially” other than this first set of goodies. However we encourage you to keep checking throughout the day for extra goodies. There will be some good ones but you will only know if they are there, if you check…
