Sunday Stash #24: Blueberry Park

8 Replies

I have recently discovered Karen over @ Blueberry Park. She does these fantastic screen-printed fabrics, typically on Kona cottons. This works out great as it is so easy to find matching fabrics and mix with solids. She is wonderful to work with and has been so helpful. You can order via her Etsy store or just IG her (blueberryathome). She also has a couple of fabric clubs for 1/2 panels, full panels and charm packs.

Here are my wonderful purchases so far…Neutral Bundle, Allotment in Shadow, Aqua/Teal/Blue bundle…

Grey Scrap Back and some charms…BlueberryPark_Greys
Blue Scrap Pack…BlueberryPark_Blues

Finally Orange and Purple Charms (with a couple of scraps from a bright scrap pack)BlueberryPark_OrangePurple

I have so  many project ideas for using these up 🙂

Sunday Stash #23: Colorshott Cottons

2 Replies

A couple of weeks back, I decided that I wanted to make this quilt design a reality.

After seeing the vibrancy and depth of Oakshott cottons in Adrianne’s and Juliet’s quilts, I really wanted to do this design in Oakshott cottons.

I decided to take a chance, and it worked out. Thanks to Michael Oakshott, I have these wonderful fabrics to work with.

Did you know that there are 57 Colourshott cottons now. Below are their two layer cakes (10″ squares) and sample books that make up the 57 fabrics.

I am thinking of using the fabrics below, for making up the above quilt design. I am trying to decided between either Flax yarn dyed linen or a neutral Kona (like bone, oyster or snow) as a background.

What colors interest you? Do you have a design you want to make into reality?

I will link this post up next week with Molli Sparkles for Sunday Stash (see button on the right).

 

 

Sunday Stash #22: Elements and Metallics

11 Replies

I am so excited today as I get to share with you some of the samples of my new prints. I created a collection called Elements, which features a text-based print of the periodic table and a print of the atomic representation of elements. I know super science geeky!!!

The text-based prints are Cobalt, Copper, Gold, Phosphorous Red, Carbon, Iron, Silver, Oxygen, Calcium (left to right). There is one missing in the photo below Sulphur which is a yellow text on white.

For the atomic element prints, each of the elements are shown as their correct atomic representation. From left to right; Carbon, Iron, Silver, Phosphorous, Copper, Gold.

I already have a quilt in mind using this block design I showed a while ago:

With this in mind, I hunted for some metallics to work with my prints and was pleasantly surprised at how in vogue they are at the moment.

I love the very neutral and earthy feel this fabric provides. I like the change. That’s it for this week. You can check out my fabric designs at spoon flower, here.
