I am super excited to tell you about this week's Granny Chic a Week project!  Admittedly, this would likely take more than a week to make.  But well worth it for the lovely end result!

So this week we teamed up with Birch Fabrics, who makes beautiful, organic fabrics, to create this herringbone quilt from their new line of double gauze fabric.  It is so wonderful against the skin, light and flowy, and super squishable as a quilt.  You will never want to get out of bed!

It is a fun quilt to make!  We hand quilted it with embroidery floss to keep it nice and fluffy and add that handmade touch!

This is where I am supposed to lay down, right?

You can download the full pattern (beautifully designed by the awesome folks at Birch Fabrics) here, as well as buy the ready to go quilt kit here!

We hope you enjoy this fun quilt as much as we do!  Make sure to share your finished quilts with us!  Tag #takeflightquilt when post to social media!

And a HUGE thanks to the awesome peeps at Birch Fabric for collaborating on this project! It was a blast!

Give a big welcome to Mountain Rose Herbs!

We are super excited to announce that Mountain Rose Herbs as our new affiliate!  When the hubby and I talked about whether or not we would have advertising on our blog, we realized that the only way we'd do it is if was with a company we really believed in and trusted.  And that, of course, matched our values.  I immediately thought of Mountain Rose Herbs.

Mountain Rose Herbs is back in good the ol' Eugene, OR area, where we moved from.  (And I am sure all of you from back home know a bit about them. But I am super stoked to introduce them to all those who have not checked them out yet!) I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the folks that work with them, and they are great.  I know they give to good causes, as well as do the right things for people and the environment in their sustainable business practices.  For example, I love this quote from their site:

"“The frog does not drink up the pond in which it lives.” From our commitment to Zero Waste, carpool program, eco-friendly packaging, and dedication to protecting wild plants, defending the Earth is paramount to who we are."

So what do they do? They make pretty much any herb or spice you can think of, essential oils and other aromatherapy goods, really cool health products (including bitters...mmm....) and much more.  Oh, and all you DIY'ers out there...check out their selection of ingredients like butters, carrier oils and beeswax and their neat containers to put it all in.  Oh, did I forget to say they have a crazy selection of teas, too?

So I bet you can guess how very excited I was to get the email back from them that we could join their affiliate program!  Here was the very company that I thought of when we talked about advertising....and we got them!

I hope you will click on any of our links and check them out.  If you are planning on making a purchase and you got to their website via one of our links, both Fiberton and Mtn Rose Herbs benefits.  Oh, and of course you do, too, by getting really quality products that are good for the earth and for you and your family.

Thanks so much!
