Extreme Makeover Edition- My Shop & Blog Get a New Look

So happy & excited to share the new brand design for my Etsy shop & this humble little blog o' mine!


Change has been stirring for awhile now but as soon as this design popped into my head, I just knew it was right for me & the direction I'd like to take my collection.

I really savored the design process- choosing color palettes, fabric swatches, sketches, making a mood board, creating & photographing the flower on linen, and then the magical part where it all comes together via my husband & the computer.

Of course, change can be hard.  The little patchwork field was something my husband created when I first started my shop. He designed it with my favorite colors, country spirit, and happy disposition in mind.  In many ways it represented a bit of what I've always longed for- wide open spaces out in the country.  He coined the name, "qultish" as well- a hybrid of my pervasive habit of adding -ish to the end of words and my initial bags which featured a quilted exterior.  Times have changed & my outlook & style have transformed a bit too. So even though I'll always be more country than city, I've developed a more modern perspective that I hope will shine through in my shop...and in the designs I create.

But for all his time & thoughtfulness, I'll love that little logo forever. And I'll be keeping "quiltish" for my blog too- as I continue to develop my love for quilting & patchwork- but am moving forward with the 'allisa jacobs' brand.  I guess it doesn't get more "me" than that!

Sooo, what's next? Look for more posts on label & packaging changes as well as new clutches, bags, & accessory sets in the bright prints I love but also a few herringbone, plaid, & linen fabrics.

Thank you so much for sharing in my makeover moment! It really does feel like a sassy new haircut :)

pssst.... for those of you who love blog buttons, I thought I'd give it a go while I was at it & create one you can grab & display on your blog!
