I’ve been having fun with Ink & Arrow almost from their origin, and I have to say I love each line more than the last! When Tiffany asked me about doing a tour for Gnome Matter What!, I couldn’t say yes fast enough! For one thing, those gnomes. I mean, I can’t even! The flamingos and pinwheels and mushrooms! What’s not to love?!
The perfect combination of whimsy with the best pops of Spring color!
I used our for the Lawn Ornaments in Seafoam. Had to add my favorite Pixie dots, this time in Salmon. I love how the trim from ties it all together with that splash of purple! This paper pattern is normally shirred, but my machine won’t have any of that, so I modified it to have casings, similar to our Beverly Belle tunic. It’s a sweet, simple dress that will get a lot of wear this summer!
This same dress was hanging in the Ink & Arrow Booth at Quilt Con, and I have to say, the wholesale orders have been rolling in! Such a cute sew!
This next project uses the amazing floral from the line! Sketchbook Garden boasts that lovely lilac again, with splashes of seafoam and salmon. It pairs well with the Pixie Dots (Square Dot Blender) and Set Vines, both in Lilac.
This is our , and I’ve used the simple ruffle view and added a hemband that was a smidge longer. I just had to figure out how to use ALL of the purples.
This is a great addition to any Spring wardrobe! And right now, through the end of the tour (April 12), when you buy either the Ava Tie Top Dress Pattern or the Addie Jo Skirt Pattern, you get the other one FREE! Just order one in my Etsy shop, and I’ll automatically send both!
