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!

- Probably a lap quilt to use when watching tv at night - the designs would keep me awake. I follow you on Facebook...love all the pretty things you create!
- Congratulations!!! I will be in touch shortly!
Beautiful fabric! I'd make ruffled scarves.
ReplyDeleteI would love to challenge myself with this color palette since it is not something I would typically gravitate towards. I would likely make something small like a pillow case first.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity. I'm pretty sure I would make this exact project! We've been in our house for about a decade and still have few window treatments.
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow you in reader!
ReplyDeleteProbably a snuggle quilt for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful fabric! I think I'd make a quilt with them or fabric baskets.

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! I think I'll make the Valance on a window shade roller so it will cover the entire window in my sewing room (it's not much longer than the valance).

Lovely fabric! Great idea for that kitchen window!
ReplyDeleteOh, how perfect! We're getting new windows for half our house, and I've convinced my husband that means I need to make new window treatments. I'll have to try this tutorial and see if I can make it long enough for our wide windows. I'd make myself a new purse with the fabrics here, though, because my husband might balk a little if I made our house too floral.
