Welcome Chestnut Street

I know we have been "sneak peeking" our brand new patterns for a while now and showing you snippets of fabric here and there. Hope you have enjoyed all the new goodies [hint… we are actually not quite done showing you some new yummies!

 

Today our bags are getting packed and we are off to Salt Lake for the biannual Quilt Market Extravaganza known as Quilt Market.

So it felt like a good day to officially introduce you to our newest fabric collection, Chestnut Street.

Fabric is due out in stores in September, 2016.  

The fabric collection ships worldwide in September, so be sure to ask… and yes, pester… your local quilt shop to see if they are planning on carrying it! 

We love the retro feel of this group and fee like it is a great "sister" group to our wildly popular Farmhouse collection from last year. If you hoarded some of that group, you can most certainly mix the two to your hearts content. They will play very, very well together. This group has a wonderful, golden yellow mixed into it along with all of the favorites from Farmhouse as well.

We are a bit in love at the moment!

See you at Market or next week.

Introducing... Somersault

Today we continue with another brand new pattern. Our new Layer Cake [or any set of 10" squares] pattern, Somersault is simple and fun to assemble. The outside black checkerboard sets off this easy quilt and makes it something special and unique.

Such a simple block with so much movement!

 

 

NAME: Somersault

SIZE: 67" X 73"

FABRICS: We used our upcoming Chestnut Street collection, due out in stores in September 2016. We have another sample made from past collections too but it is still being quilted. We will show you that one after Market! This pattern is perfect for a Layer Cake or a collection of 1/8 yd. cuts if you prefer.

Introducing…. MIDNIGHT

Its that time everyone… every market season we introduce all of our new patterns to you here, one at a time throughout the week or weeks leading up to Market.  This is our first official reveal.  

A quilt I have wanted to make forever and something that I am so happy is now in my personal collection. As most of you already know, I am a little bit obsessed with the MODA Black Crossweave fabric and have been adding it to things for a while now. I might or might not be hoarding full bolts for personal use. Just maybe!

For those of you who are doing our RETRO WOOL BOM, this is the same fabric. Its just a little bit perfect for this quilt. I think. Next up on my list of must do… the cream version. But that will most definitely have to wait until after Market.

 

 

 

 

 

PATTERN NAME: Midnight

SIZE:  62" square or 62" x 75"

FABRIC USED: For the flat images, it is all Chestnut Street and either Chestnut Street cream or Bella Solid, Washed Black as the background. For the styled quilt you see above, we used the MODA Black Crossweave, 1 Honeybun of our upcoming Chestnut Street and then a bunch of scraps strips from previous lines for a truly scrappy grouping of YUM!   Fabric will be available September, 2016.

DATE AVAILABLE: PDF pattern will be available soon, printed patterns will be available right after Quilt Market. 

SPECIAL SURPRISE: MODA is releasing Honeybuns™ with this collection especially for this quilt.. so be sure to get yours as they are perfect for making this project so much easier!
