A Date With The General...

Yesterday, I opened the doors to my fabric cabinet and
pulled out all the fabric I've collected from this Moda fabric line.
It's called The French General, "Rouenneries".
Isn't this collection wonderful?
I really love the colors and patterns. Each lovelier than the last.

I started cutting - large squares, small squares, fabric strips -
and began arranging and sewing, and I even un-sewed a few!
I accomplished quite a bit yesterday, and had great fun
working without a pattern. There's a certain freedom in
not following a set diagram or having to work to a specific size.

I'll be in the studio again today, and we'll see how far I get.
I'll share photos of my progress tomorrow.
Hope you have a happy and creative day!

    I have several of Kaari's books, they are just lovely to read and even the pictures are fabulous. Did you buy them from her website or in a fabric store?

  6. I love that line too - and bought every bit I could find. I have only made thing with it so far, a table runner, but I was very happy with how it turned out. I hope you'll post pictures of your creation!

  8. Oh, I can't wait to see what you're making out of that lovely fabric. I've got a lot of it too and it's almost too pretty to cut, but I guess that defeats the purpose of what it's for, right?
