Happy Monday, friends! I'm so excited to be sharing a new Fat Quarter Gang project on the Art Gallery Fabrics Blog today! Along with an amazing fabric Giveaway right here, of course!
This time I'm showing you how to stitch up a fun and pretty, patchwork Chevron Valance, with Sarah Watson's new collection Luxe In Bloom! We just moved into our very first home, so I am all about sewing up home decor these days! You can find the full project tutorial here or simply by clicking on the tutorial image below.
Luxe In Bloom is one of my most favorite collections to recently debut, so I was super eager to get my chance to work with them! Using a Fat Quarter bundle of the Quartz colorway, I wanted to be sure to create a project that didn't leave much waste -- Just six fat quarters, made TWO valances!
These were made for our kitchen windows and we love them! From morning until dusk the light gleams through like beautiful stained glass, illuminating Sarah's gorgeous designs! And, in the evening the lovely colors that make up this fabric collection really shine!
Now I get the pleasure of hosting a special Fabric Giveaway to kick off the new week, for a Fat Quarter Bundle of beautiful Luxe In Bloom in the Quartz colorway!!
Enter to win this fabric bundle!
