We have a love/hate relationship with SPAM®. I hate it in my email inbox. But I love it on my plate! Last month, Susan, from Michael Miller Fabrics, sent us an email with a link, asking if we’d be interested in creating a fun project from any of their new fabric releases. Lora was checking out the fabric lines from her house and I was looking at them from mine. I called her.

“What do you think?” I asked. 

“How many fabric lines can we choose?” She asked.

“Only three,” I answered. She groaned. Choosing only three is the tough part. “Which is your favorite?” I asked.

“SPAM!” “Mine too!” Sew here we are! SPAM for breakfast. When the fabrics arrived we made two table toppers. It isn’t a new design. It is, however, one of our favorites. The block is an old Scandinavian Christmas tradition of weaving a red and white paper or wool together to decorate their homes. This traditional block is called the Scandinavian (or Nordic, Danish, or Swedish) Woven Hearts. Our pattern is called Interwoven Hearts. We like putting a modern twist on traditional blocks. This one is easy, fast, and a perfect fit for our tables. We have made this pattern in Valentine, Christmas, Shamrock, Baby Girl, and Independence Day fabrics. As I said, it’s one of our favorites. 

Michael Miller Fabrics used:

The Interwoven Heart that used the Michael Miller Spam Pop Art for the border used solids from their Cotton Couture line, Apricot, Berry, Lipstick, and Lemon. Cobalt was used for the flange and binding. Soft White for the background

The Interwoven Heart that used the Michael Miller Spam Life White for the border, used Spam Life Aqua, Gingham Play Tangerine, Spam Print, Garden Pindot Ink, and Cotton Couture Citrus for the flange and binding.

I wish we had kits for you but this darn pandemic… Anyway, I’ve tracked down an awesome fabric source for you. Look for the above fabrics at fabrics.com 

To celebrate SPAM®, we decided to have free shipping on the Interwoven Hearts pattern. And if you decide on any other pattern, free shipping for that pattern too.

Absewlutely,

Lisa Norton
