Fabric: Advent Wreaths

October 9, 2018 by faithandfabric Leave a Comment

The advent wreath is a classic tradition in many Christian homes. The four candles – three purple and one rose – offer a way for us to count down the four weeks of advent until the true light comes.

In this print, three purple and one pink candle sit inside a holly wreath. Each of the wreaths is slightly different, both in its overall design and in the number of lit candles. Soft painting creates a visual depth to each wreath. Surrounding the wreaths are the four representations of each week of Advent: joy, hope, love, and peace.

All fabrics are available year-round in our Spoonflower Shop and can be delivered to you in any quantity (from fat quarter to several yards). Can’t wait to see what you make!

Fabric: St. Therese of Lisieux Sew-A-Saint

September 26, 2018 by faithandfabric 5 Comments

St. Therese of Lisieux is our second Sew-a-Saint print, and one of my favorite saints! By making small offerings each day, and thinking of them each as a little flower that she lay before Jesus, I find a saint that I can relate to – and a way for me to practice each day, too.

In this tender doll print, Saint Therese Lisieux stands amidst vibrant little flowers. These plush dolls are absolutely beginner friendly, and can be sewn by hand or with a machine. Hand drawn, each comes printed on a fat-quarter of fabric and is ready to sew. Instructions are printed on the fabric, ensuring you’ll know how to make her as soon as she arrives in your mailbox.

Fabric: St. Michael the Archangel Sew-a-Saint

September 25, 2018 by faithandfabric Leave a Comment

One of the most common questions I receive is “what is a good beginner sewing project for someone new to sewing”? While there are many great ideas available for novice sewists, I wanted to create something that would both create an opportunity to quickly have a lovable project in hand as well as teach faith along the way.

…enter our Sew-a-Saint line! These plush dolls are absolutely beginner friendly, and can be sewn by hand or with a machine. Hand drawn, each comes printed on a fat-quarter of fabric and is ready to sew. Instructions are printed on the fabric, ensuring you’ll know how to make him as soon as he arrives in your mailbox.

Saint Michael comes complete with battle armor and holds a sword and shield, and the delicate white stars of heaven surround him as he wages his battle against evil.

Fabric: St. Therese of Lisieux

September 24, 2018 by faithandfabric Leave a Comment

St. Therese of Lisieux is a popular saint among women and girls alike. The lovely way she shared her faith – her little offerings of flowers each day – is something we can all relate to. Born in 1873, she often battled illnesses throughout her 24yr life. Her humility shined through her essays, published the year after her death. The tender, childlike ways she shared her faith conveyed her devout holiness as she became the youngest doctor of the church.

In this delicate print, Saint Therese Lisieux – all hand drawn – stands amidst vibrant little flowers. The flowers repeat throughout the print, and the delicate leaves provide a soft contrast within the fabric.

This would be a wonderful fabric for any Little Flower group or little girl looking to St. Therese as a role model!

Fabric: St. Michael the Archangel

September 23, 2018 by faithandfabric Leave a Comment

When it comes to patron saints, my little guy’s favorite saint is St. Michael the archangel. So, it made sense to make him be the focus of our first saints fabric line!

Saint Michael comes complete with battle armor and holds a sword and shield. The sword and shield repeat throughout the print, and the delicate white stars of heaven surround him as he wages his battle against evil.

This would make the cutest quilt, legging (after all, #leggingsformichaelmas), or outfit for a child!

I’ve been having such fun sharing our cross-country journey with you all on Instagram, and am thankful for a new opportunity to bring the wonders of creation to you! This week, on Catholic Mom, I’m sharing the start of our journey, how it came to be, and the sites we’ve seen in California. The article “Exploring California” is the first in a series of photo journals complete with a bit of history, local information, and – of course – images of the natural beauty that makes our country so beautiful.

I invite you to read the article on Catholic Mom, and join us for our year long journey. It makes it so much more fun to have friends along for the ride!

Fabric: Springtime Chapels

September 9, 2018 by faithandfabric Leave a Comment

On our travels as part of #ourgypsyyear, we are coming across so many adorable small town churches. Each has its own history and story to tell! I’ve been enjoying Mass so much each weekend as we visit a new parish; so far, we’ve been to Mass in three different states and each has been lovely.

These little parishes served as an inspiration for a new fabric line called “Springtime Chapels”. Three small churches adorn the fabric, each hand drawn and colored in the softest springtime colors. The chapels are surrounded by flowers and come printed on either a white or light blue background. This is the second fabric in our growing line, and one that I hope brings you joy as you visit all the small chapels in the towns near you.

All fabrics are available year-round in our Spoonflower Shop and can be delivered to you in any quantity (from fat quarter to several yards). Can’t wait to see what you make with these little chapels!

Pattern: Gone Fishing

August 24, 2018 by faithandfabric Leave a Comment

This year, from now through July of next year, my family and I are on a one-year tour of the US! We rented out our home, and are living in the cutest RV you ever did see 🙂 It’s such a great opportunity to grow together, and share wonderful experiences as a family.

One of our favorite pastimes is to go fishing. We fish at every campground, and most lakes that we pass. It’s such a relaxing way to pass the time, and gives us all a chance to check out for a bit as we share in an activity together. My little guy is especially into it; in fact, he was the inspiration for this new paper piecing fishing quilt pattern called “Gone Fishing”. This fisherman (or fisherwoman!) sits at the end of the dock, bare feet dangling just above the waterline, not a care in the world as he watches for the first tug on his fishing line.

This fishing quilt pattern is designed to be made as a block of either 12″x 12″ or 24″ x 24″. The pattern contains templates for both sizes, making it a two-in-one! When finishing, you can either keep it square shaped, or add sashing to make a longer/wider quilt – the choice is yours.

This adorable pattern is available on Craftsy as a digital download:

Fabric: Sacred Heart

August 18, 2018 by faithandfabric 2 Comments

It’s been a few years now that I’ve been designing quilt patterns, and one of my favorite things to do is – once the pattern is done and quilt ready to make – to wander around a quilt shop, looking and admiring all the lovely fabrics. The colors, the textures, the prints…so so beautiful

When making novelty mini-quilts – those like table runners and smaller blankets – I love choosing bold and bright prints. Mermaids, perhaps, or sea horses. For Christmas, I love choosing fabrics that display the Holy Family and the Star of Bethlehem.

It’s always been in the back of my mind how fun it would be to actually make my own fabrics with prints that were perfect either on their own or as part of a themed pattern. In making my Sacred Heart quilt pattern, I couldn’t help but wish I could find a Sacred Heart fabric for the back and for pieces of the border. So, when it came time to try my hand at making a fabric print, this was a natural first one for me to try out!

I’m so excited to share our first fabric here at Faith and Fabric! This repeating pattern print was created in two different sizes, and is printed on a lovely cotton fabric. The main image, the sacred heart, is wrapped in a flame as the crown of thorns and holy cross contrast in brown.

All fabrics are available year-round in our Spoonflower Shop and can be delivered to you in any quantity (from fat quarter to several yards). I have so many fun fabrics in the works, and can’t wait to share them with you!
