A FROLIC Aurifil Thread Kit
This is an exciting project I had the pleasure of collaborating on this Spring. A FROLIC thread collection with Aurifil. How cool is that!? Twelve large spools of gorgeous 50wt. Egyptian cotton threads housed in their own collectors’ box. I chose the colours based on the saturated hues of the fabric collection’s grounds, including 2 […]
A Couple More Frolic Quilts
A couple weeks ago I shared the first 2 of 4 quilts I made with FROLIC for Quilt Market. Today it’s time for the other two. As FROLIC is a pretty young, playful, bold collection, I wanted to create a quilt that worked along the same lines. My mind went to children’s sorting games where […]
{ Happy Sewing } My First Attempt at Sewing Knits
A quick post to show you my first tiny tentative efforts at sewing with knit fabric (I used FROLIC Big Love in Candy). For all you uninitiated soles out there, it was surprisingly simple & painless & oh-so-rewarding! I made these teeny-tiny baby leggings using this tutorial, a baby headband using this one, and a […]
A FROLIC Knit Dress by Craftstorming
To round out the FROLIC Blog Tour (I have a few more things to share that I have created, but this is the last post from other wonderful makers out there), Laura of Craftstorming sewed this adorable Waterfall Raglan dress and co-ordinating hat for her cute daughter. Laura used FROLIC Knits, choosing Frolicking in both […]

A Fun Frolic Project by Gingercake
Virginia of Gingercake has created something fun and unexpected with FROLIC… A beanbag chair! With a unique shape so it takes on a different character depending on which way it is turned, her daughters now have either a reading or a napping spot. Virginia chose to work with the sweet hedgehogs of Summer Portrait with […]
FROLIC Dresses by Thread Riding Hood
Sherri of Thread Riding Hood always knows just what to sew to please her girls and to show off fabric patterns beautifully. She has hit a home run again this time with these lovely dresses. While a few weeks ago she shared a FROLIC Knit project, this time around she used the woven cottons to […]
A Frolic Knit Dress by LBG Studio
I, like many, have next to no experience sewing with knits (something I am determined to change). Vanessa of LBG Studios though, definitely knows her way around sewing with them, so I was thrilled that she was up for sewing something for one of her kids with the new FROLIC Knits. Her daughter, a lover […]
A Frolic Quilt by Shannon Fraser Designs
I was thrilled earlier this year when fellow Montreal Modern Quilt Guild member and maker of beautiful quilts, Shannon Fraser said YES to making a quilt with FROLIC. Shannon’s clean design aesthetic can always be counted on in her work and she certainly didn’t disappoint with this stunner, Spring is in the Air. Choosing to […]
