The marie-madeline blog is moving!

Hi everyone!

Life is full of lots of ups and downs and lots of twists and turns.  We know we've been awful quiet around here lately, and we're sorry.  All we can say is that we know there are seasons for everything and this season of our life has not been for blogging.

However, that doesn't mean we won't blog at all, and it definitely means we don't want you to not be able to gather inspiration from our past posts!  But it's time for a bit of a change.  So!  Say hello to our new spot right over

HERE!!!!

Please change your bookmarking, etc., so we can still keep in touch!  You will also be able to find our new blog directly through our website.

xoxo Kristie, Apphia, Achaia, Abigail, & Abiah

the Modern Prairie Girl - PDF patterns!!!!

Howdy everyone!

I just wanted to stop by here at the marie-madeline blog and share with you that I've designed and am now selling 2 new PDF patterns!!  I'm so excited with how they've turned out and I'd love to hear what you all think about them too!

The above pattern, Sophie Bags Crossbody & Clutch, is one of my favorite bag patterns. The crossbody is sturdy and perfect for long days, while still boasting of something pretty like the gathered eye-catching panel on the front of the bag. The clutch is one of my go-to bags. Not just because it is pretty, but because carrying it feels pretty!

Here are so more pictures of the Sophie bags!  

The Reflections Quilt pattern is a quick and fun make for anyone that loves quilting (or at least wants to give it a try!). The pattern includes three sizes: twin, full/queen & king. So everyone can have one.

Read more and see more about my patterns over at my blog, the Modern Prairie Girl.

happy sewing, Abi

Achaia's Etsy shop!

I'm SO excited to announce the opening of my very own Etsy Shop!!

In my shop you'll find pillow covers hand written and hand embroidered by me!  They also feature a variety of pretty backing fabrics, full lining, sturdy zippers on the bottom of the covers for easy taking on and off, and handmade tassels on the zipper pulls. 

I had a lot of fun choosing sayings for each pillow, stitching on them, and putting them together.  I hope you'll find something you'll love that puts a smile on your face, and a little extra beauty on your bed or couch!

PS  The listings do not include pillow forms, but if you would like to have one of those included as well, be sure to send me a convo for pricing and a custom listing!

We have a beautiful bush that blooms with the most fragrant and sweet flowers. So in the spring, it seems like the perfect place to take some photos.

Today it's Achaia!  xoxo Us

Happy birthday, Abiah!!

Abiah -- 21 and awesome!!

Here I go again, but I have to tell y'all what a wonderful, Godly young lady my Abiah is. 

She's firm, but she's a peacemaker.  She's loyal and devoted.  She's witty and very loving.  And did I mention the way she can belt out a song?

I love this 4th born daughter of mine -- with her long red hair and big blue eyes.  She's amazing and I'm overwhelmed with the blessing of being her mom. 

Abiah, you are the cats and my love will always pour over you.

Forever, Mommy

 

Dearest Bug,

We couldn't have said it better ourselves!  We love you to pieces, and think the world of you.  You're one of our very favorites, and we are forever grateful to God for making you our baby sister. 

We love you!

xoxo Apphia, Achaia, & Abigail

PS  Did we forget to mention that we love your killer red hair and killer fashion sense??!

And, of course, we can't help but mention our wonderfully awesome Nanny, who Abiah gets to share a birthday with!  Nan, you are one of our very favorites too, and we love you to the moon and back!  Wish we could have celebrated your birthday in person.  Hugs and kisses!

Happy Birthday to our Apphia!!

Well, it's time for another of my gushing birthday posts and I have to quote a favorite movie, "It ain't bragging if it's true.".

Apphia Jade - my first born daughter - a daughter I've prayed for and praised The Lord for - How can I possibly describe how very much this girl means to me?  She's responsible and fun loving all at the same time.  She is loyal beyond belief and she has always been the best big sister anyone could ever ask for.

My girls and I have been through very tough times together and The Lord has used these trials to bring us closer and closer.  No Mom could ask for more.  I am blessed indeed!

Happiest of birthdays to my beloved Apphia!     xoxo Mommy

PS  I will be missing you and praying for you every day that you're away.  May The Lord work in your life in an awesome way!

Happy birthday, Phi!  You know we love you to pieces and can't imagine life without you!  We pray that this year will be filled with beautiful things for you.

Love, hugs, and kisses from your sisters!!

xoxo Achaia, Abigail, & Abiah

Last Call on fabrics!!

Hi everyone!

Many apologies for the silence around here.... things have been pretty crazy around here.  We've been doing things behind the scenes though, and hope to share more soon, so stay tuned!

The news that we are able to share now is that it's time for the last call on fabrics!  We still have some fabrics left, and we would LOVE to sell it all off!  We also added some great piques, a piece of corduroy, and some home decor fabrics.  And all for ONLY $4 a YARD! 

The last day to purchase fabrics is Sunday at midnight, so hurry!

xoxo KAAAA
