I thought you might like to see the next assortment of fabrics I'm going to play with. They're going to become quilts for the Flying Cloud. One quilt - the one for me - will be more flowery, and the other will be more masculine for Handsome. They'll cover us on chilly evenings as we slumber in our new coach.
This fabric will be made into pillowcases. It's appropriately called "On The Road" by Dan Morris for Robert Kaufman. It will make wonderful cases as it's extremely soft. I'll also use it for accents on the quilts.
This fabric will be featured prominently in my quilt. It's called "Silence Beauty" (I know, it's not a title befitting me, is it?). It's manufactured by Quilt Gate. This floral will be beautiful with all the birch wood in the coach, and I love the soft colors.So, I'm going to make two nearly-twin size quilts. They'll be perfect for naps or full-fledged sleeping. I have a slot open with Kathy to have them machine quilted on March 8th. Tick. Tock. Here we go again. Off to the races!
I hope you have a great day planned. The weather here is perfect and my view from the studio is peaceful and serene even as I'm cutting fabrics and whirring away at the sewing machine. I promise I'll show you photo updates, but I can assure you that Prissy is really earning her keep these days.
Very nice fabric Donna..I made a raggy quilt for our bed last month but I have to take to the laundromat to put through washer and dryer (to big for my machines) Plus the other 6 I have almost finished. I will be posting them in my blog when they are all finished :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric - Enjoy :)

ReplyDeleteHi Donna! Love those new fabrics! Can't wait to see the new quilts from these!
ReplyDeleteYour fabric is lovely! I just finished a twin size bed quilt and yesterday I went to my favorite quilt store and purchased enough fabric to make a Kings size quilt. The cost sure did add up fast! I can't wait to get started and I can't wait to see your quilts!.
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet and creative day, Hugs Elizabeth
Love the vintagey feel of the fabrics, Donna! I especially love the "On the Road" fabric. Be sure and show us the quilts when you're done!
ReplyDelete"Who am I to disagree" are the next lyrics in the song - and I wouldn't! Your fabrics are perfect for your new home away from home. It looks like you are almost ready to roll....
