Black and White Fabric Refresh

After making the Black and White Framed charity blocks, I was out of all black and white prints in my stash. When Sewtopia held a sale just after Christmas to celebrate Amy's birthday, I decided I should look for some black and white prints to replace what I used up. A few other low volume prints also spoke to me....

It has been a summer with lots of fabric orders for me. In addition to needing several orders to fine tune my fabric selection for the 2718 Quilt, I have been working to refine the fabric selection (thanks to all your wonderful input) for a new quilt for my in-laws. I find colors that can be both warm and...

2718 Quilt {Fabric}

In May, I started working to curate fabrics for a new quilt idea. I made several mug rug through mini quilt examples to test out the idea, and I learned that while the idea can be pulled off with any fabric, it really is just easiest to work with fabrics that are the same thickness/thread count/weight. So, I knew...

Q2 Stash Additions

I am behind in sharing about some fabric purchases I made throughout the second quarter of this year. I'll dedicate this post to all the fabric that I have purchased without a specific project in mind. When the current US administration started talking about tariffs, I took a hard look at my stash and thought about what fabric I needed....

Fabric from a Friend

Just before I packed up my studio to move, a friend reached out to ask if I was interested in some of her larger Kona Cotton fabrics. Her stash is pretty much the inverse of mine: she has a beautiful stash of amazing prints. And, clearly, I stash solids. Some of the solids she had were languishing and she...

I am really excited about my quilt along design for next year, and Northcott Fabrics has once again generously provided me with the fabric I need to test the pattern. This year, I selected a bright rainbow of color that I can't wait to cut into! I'll be sewing the sample using Banyon Batiks, and almost all of the batiks...

March Stash Enhancement

When I received my print order from Superbuzzy in February and realized that I didn't do much to add to my VERY depleted yellow print stash, I pretty much immediately went back and placed another fabric order. This time, I ordered from Stash Fabrics. This fabric went on a JOURNEY you guys, and I am so happy it is finally...

QuiltCon Swag & February Stash Enhancement

I took 100 2" round stickers that featured a cropped in portion of my Cloudy Night Sky quilt with me to give away at QuiltCon, and I gave them all away while I was there! In exchange, I brought home all of these stickers! I also received 2 beaded bracelets, which were the new hot item for swapping. I was also...

After working through the Bonus HST sizing two weeks ago, I was able to put the finishing touches on my rough draft of my 2024 quilt along (QAL) design. Northcott Fabrics has generously been providing the fabric for my QAL sample quilts for the last several years, and this year is no exception. I requested the yardage to make...

Improv Palette

I am making slow and steady progress on Congruence, but when I only had a few minutes one afternoon last week, I let myself have a bit of play time to create a fabric pull for my next project. The bottom shelf of my stash has solids that I have in large enough yardages to use for quilt backings. This...

Carolyn Friedlander Stash Additions

In mid-March, Amanda @whatthebobbin was doing some fabric destashing through Instagram. I'm not normally one who pays a lot of attention to fabric destashing, but she had lots of Carolyn Friedlander prints, and I just couldn't stop thinking about them after I saw the post. I have a soft spot for Carolyn's prints, and Amanda had some scraps of some...

January Stash Additions

You may or may not remember me mentioning in December that my black print fabric stash had really been depleted. I don't have a particular need or project in mind, but I knew the bin was pretty empty. So in late December when I learned that Amy, the owner of Sewtopia, had a small fire in her house (not...

December Stash Acquisitions {Color Girl Quilts}

I "met" Sharon from Color Girl Quilts many years ago through one of the New Quilt Bloggers blog hop series. Sharon is the creator of the Classic Curves ruler. I happened to see on Instagram that she is closing her Color Girl Quilts shop, so I decided it was a good time to support her and pick up a...

When my husband and I were finalizing our plans to move, I knew it was going to throw a curve ball to Stash Fabrics in their delivery of my monthly Kona Club fabric.

May Stash Kona Club Fabric

I just wanted to pop in today to share the fabric I received in May as part of the Stash Fabrics Kona Club. It might not seem very exciting, but these fabrics often do a lot of heavy lifting in a quilt. Black, gray, and white are very commonly used as background colors, and the nuance in undertone in the...

Her award winning quilts, which have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and books, often incorporate the quilting plan as a key design element, and she quilts her quilts on her domestic Juki sewing machine.
