One More Finish : :

Too many pretty Nightfall finishes are happening this week, during these final last days of Quilt  Market sewing before it's time to pack it all up, to not share just a few more project peeks here on the blog! As soon as the kiddos were off to school this morning, I immediately cut into the second set of strike offs that arrived just in time for me to check a few more things off the to-make list and to send off to my willing friends who kindly volunteered to stitch up a few last minute garments!



This time before cutting into my Bird of Night in Slate print I remembered to snap a few photos! This dark gray-blue is my personal favorite colorway of the Nightfall owls. I love it and can't wait to have yards and yards of it to make things!



This  morning's newly bound quilt was designed to highlight these very owls. It's a Quick Quilt As You Go log cabin style quilt with an owl at the center of each block. I can't wait to share the whole thing soon at Quilt Market!



Because my most favorite owl is the mustard yellow fellow, I decided to use this matching, pretty yellow stripe for my binding from Pat Bravo's new Essential's II collection.



With extra binding left to finish a few more Nightfall pillows, of course!

How about you, what are you working on this week?

Bundle LOVE : :

Yesterday, for about an hour, the most glorious light gleamed through the windows of my sewing room. I had pulled this bundle of fabrics from my shelves earlier in the day. Plucking through the moody blues and soft peach prints in my stash, setting them on my ironing board with the large piece of Hello, Bear Summit in Twilight print leftover from my most recent quilt finish. A perfect match!



In the sun light they looked too pretty not to photograph and share with all of you!



This bundle is a medley of collections ~ most of the dark blues are from Pat Bravo's brand new, modern Essentials II, two from the new Pastel Thrift collection by AGF Studio, the rest are Bonnie Christine prints from Hello, Bear & Forest Floor, with my very own Fleet & Flourish Lace in Bloom, and a few Pure Element solids that coordinate.



I especially love the shades of peachy pink, cream, & apricot!



I put together this quick mosaic including each print from my bundle, followed with the collection & print name of each, just in case these fabrics inspire you, too!

• Essentials II -- Streakly Business, Hula Hoops, Specktacular, & Delicate Femme in Azur 
• Pastel Thrift -- Forshadowing in Spell & Adage
• Hello, Bear -- Wildwood in Nectar, Follow Me in Peach, & Summit in Twilight
• Forest Floor -- Firefly in Beam & Timber in Nightfall
• Fleet & Flourish -- Lace in Bloom Cloud
• Indian Summer -- Shimmer Creek in Blue
• Pure Elements -- Spruce, Peach Sherbet, Mystic Grey, & Nocturnal
• AGF Denim Studio -- Nectarine Sunrise & Cool Foliage

I added in two new AGF denims above, as well. I'll likely be using these beautiful denims in most of my quilty projects from here on out, as an alternative to a solid or blender fabric. I love them so much! Have you tried them yet?

Now I just need to decide what to make with this pretty bundle, hmn...
