Sunday Stash: More Spoonflower fabrics

15 Replies

I have always had a love for the work of the independent designers over at Spoonflower. The fabrics are always unique and are well printed on Kona Cotton (my selection).

This week I picked up some new fabric in which I want to make pillows from. I love the reds and the grunge look of the print. The designer is Holli Zollinger, collection Coral Summer.

I have already started using this math fabric in my blocks as a low-volume print. I love this fabric and representation of my STEM background. The designer is Berene Campbell, collection Text Fabrics.SundayStash_Spoonflower_Math

Which is your favorite fabric or designer @ Spoonflower.com??

Sunday Stash: Shades of Grey

11 Replies

I have definitely taken advantage of the recent fabric sales online. Thanksgiving buys will be coming, when the fabric arrives. In the meantime, I had a discount code for 15% of at the Fat Quarter Shop, and I bought a LOT of the new Kona Cottons. They are so bright and wonderful, I can easily sit and look and dream for hours (well maybe I am exaggerating, just a tad). This week, I had posted some of my new projects made from the new colors.

What I had not featured, was the amazing new Greys the Kona Cottons now have. I plan on making a grey, white and black quilt next year so I stocked up. I am so excited, they are fantastic….there is shadow, graphite, sliver, shoal, coal etc. (no particular order).

A big question…….When you buy your solids how do you store them??

The reason I ask…..The other day, I ran out of some cream/off white Kona solid and I couldn’t tell you what it was. Not a big deal unless you want to buy some more of the same color. I decided it was time to buy a Kona color card….that helped narrow the choices down. I now have two colors it could be. Hmmm.

This event lead me to my new addition to my existing fabric storage method for solids.

  1. Fold fabric to a width that is no wider than a comic book board.
  2. Wrap fabric around comic book board (I buy my boards from amazon.com).
  3. Write a label with color on it and place at the top of the board (Label is about 1″ x 0.5″).
  4. Place in shelf (I store my solids in color family).

Hope you enjoyed the tip. I have so much more to show you but it will have to wait I suppose.

…hmmm, ok so I am posting a little last as it is Monday. Better late than never.

I have been buying a lot of stash fabrics lately, and thought I would show a few of the bundles purchased. Some of the buys I do have ideas on how I am using them, others are just a great addition.

Bonnie and Camille from Moda Fabrics: Scrumptious Polka Dots (Purchased from Westwood Acres). IMG_8864

Marisa and Creative Thursday: Just For Fun Tiny Stripes (Purchased from Westwood Acres). I bought the full yard of each of these as they are perfect as background fabrics and imagine them as bindings!!
