Today it’s all about fabric (well, mostly–I do have a quilt to share at the end…and a giveaway winner to announce). The first thing that came in this week was 7 ⅝ yards of some dreamy fabric from Joanna–her latest line, Strawberry Fields! This is my favorite Fig Tree collection ever. Of course I still love Patisserie, Mill House Inn, Fresh Cottons, and Breakfast at Tiffanys–but Strawberry Fields is just breathtaking–honestly!
I love, love, love the ginghams…note to self…get lots of those for bias bindings!
I love the blues, the grays, the greens, the reds and the the lights!
The yellows are amazing as well–perfect dreamy yellows once again! Not only do I love this fabric, I’m absolutely in love with the design Joanna sent me to sew with it (she’ll be introducing new patterns on her blog soon)!
Also in this week…1 yard of Sunkissed grey gingham (because it’s the perfect neutral) and 1 yard of It’s a Hoot for a border on a quilt I really need to finish!
Also in was 1 ½ yards of Sunkissed for a bag…(I need to make this fast and will be sharing it soon)!
Out this week was 10 yards for the secret project that came in last week. Hopefully I’ll get the go-ahead to share that quilt soon. Also out this week was ½ yard for binding on my Bliss “Paper Roses” quilt which I picked up yesterday from Judi. I truly love Judi’s quilting–and love this quilt.
I think my favorite parts are the swirling feather flowers in the setting triangles. (Pattern “Paper Roses” by Joanna and Bliss fabric by Bonnie and Camille)!
So…for my stash report I have 11 ⅛ yards that came in along with 10 ½ yards that went “out.” For the year to date that makes 39 ¾ in with 35 ⅜ out…leaving 4 ⅜ not busted!
Oh, and congrats to Jenny…I’ve just sent you an e-mail…you won the Le Petite Eccole French General fat eighth bundle from Judi!

You have the best job! Getting all that new fabric before the rest of us can see it in person…sigh. Patisserie is my all time fave but this looks like it might be close, loving the reds.

How beautiful!!! I so admire all those that can sew and use that talent to make useful things for the home!! I've got lots of wishful thinking when it comes to pieceing quilts together but scared to do it right now. Maybe one of these days.

The Paper Roses quilting is divine! Certainly takes it to a greater level, and I already loved the top. And those fabrics, OMG!!! I fell in love with Sunkissed a few weeks ago, and I hadn't even noticed the gingham. It's really a great coordinate. Guess I'm gonna hafta get me some. Mmmmmm.
Becky says
oh wow, the quilting on that is just spectacular!
Carol says
Love the fabric! LOVE it! Your Paper Roses couldn't be more beautiful!

Quilt Azubi says
Help please..
I found a picture of a quilt with a nice block pattern in internet. Unfortunately, there was no title to or a label. Maybe there is somebody in blogland can help me? I would intressted the name and perhaps the history of the pattern.
It was a wonderful two-color quilt in blue and white. I made a sketchy picture and put in my blog.
I would be happy to answer a helping.
