sham fan

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Remember my adorbs sister Rosie?  Well we are turning her into a fabric addict yet.  Last week she made a lovely European pillow sham with a soft double-gauze Fuwari from Kokka and some shot cottons.  She even turned the project into a tutorial.

Here Rosie shows off the contrasting strip on back at the overlapping closure…

and demonstrates the comfiness of the pillow.

For Rosie’s pillow sham tutorial, visit her blog.  (Btw, after looking at these photos, I want to do some Pendleton/Native inspired patchwork. Perhaps something on that coming soon.)

oliver+s goodness

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

The Oliver+S booth is always one of our favorite stops at Quilt Market. O+S designer Liesl Gibson & her husband Todd are just the loveliest people. (And I admit I geek out like a silly fangirl every time I talk to them.) As we’ve mentioned before, they’ve got some very exciting things coming up, and this video is a great way to hear all about it from Liesl herself.

Can you believe that Christmas fabric is arriving already? Here’s a little peek at BasicGrey’s brand new Christmas collection for Moda, Fruitcake.  Even though it’s only June, it’s beautiful enough to motivate a person to start early on holiday projects, like this quilt.Picture 2

These reverse appliqued circles remind me of vinyl records. Ooh how I loved breaking out the Christmas vinyl as a kid.  But no, it’s still too early for that… right?

Go ahead and check out the entire Fruitcake collection or download the free Fruitcake quilt pattern.
