The Village Pattern is Available!
I finally got the final instructions from Free Spirit to offer to you as a download! The Village can be purchased for $1 as that is the lowest amount I can charge in the shop for it to go through paypal or credit card routes. I'd love to see what you create with this pattern, my first published pattern!

Hotel Frederiksted is Enchanting!
Terrie is the cute tiny diamond shaped print that is so perfectly awesome as a roof. Since this was for Quilt Market, I had a bungalow represent Free Spirit |

Finished Dorm!
Here are photos from the final setup in Holly's dorm. Even though it felt like we brought so much, everything fit perfectly & she even had a little space left! Holly has the gift of organization & was able to figure out every part of her dorm ahead of time. As soon as we got there, we unpacked and put everything in its place and we were done in about 2 hours~ unbelievable!!
She is all set and ready for the new school year!
Her roommates side came out super cute, too! She chose Lilly Pulitzer bedding.

The Handmade Dorm
My daughter Holly is heading off to Pepperdine this fall & she I had so much fun making things for her dorm that I thought I'd share our creations with you. When you make it yourself, you are able to put in your own unique style! We started off with a purchased duvet from Pottery Barn Teen in a deep navy with white pattern. We then went to my fabric stash & picked out fabrics for her patchwork & minky throw that will be at the end of her bed. You can find a listing to order one yourself from my shop here & I can customize it with your colors!
We created some custom pillows pulling fabrics from her blanket. We used a print from Hawthorne Threads called Cascading Border for one of them
This pillow I used Anna Maria Horner's pattern in her pattern booklet called Love from A-Z & bordered it with a print that is out of print from Sarah Watts.
We found a really cute doily at Barn House Chicks that matched her bedding perfectly & I sewed it to a solid navy fabric & used piping from Hawthorne Threads called Arrows in peacock
Holly picked out a verse that had meaning to her but also gave a nod to Pepperdine as a Wave. She painted the canvas a deep navy & then glued letters & hand wrote some words in aqua.
We both got into embroidering, so Holly had bought a pattern from Sublime Stitching with treats on it & since she loves to bake & used to work at an ice cream shop, this pattern group was perfect! She told me what she wanted written & so I did the small hoop that says "Lord Let them see you in me". The P is from the Moda Alphabet called "Spell it with Fabric" that was available as a download & thought it would be great in Pepperdine colors & I embroidered 'Go Waves' in aqua thread.
An obvious, easy make was a tie blanket made from 2 yards of Pepperdine colors tied together while we watched a movie together. We bought these at Joann Fabrics.
These thrift store finds painted aqua will be great for some free downloads she printed out from French Press Mornings "Encouraging Wednesdays" for the scripture.
Holly is ready to go to Pepperdine, but am I ready to send her?? I will post a finished dorm picture.
