Indelible Love : :

Today it's my pleasure to share my own project, as part of this Summer's Indelible blog hop for designer Katarina Roccella's amazing debut collection for Art Gallery Fabrics!



This beautiful fabric collection inspired me to try a quilt block idea that I've had for quite sometime. When Indelible arrived at my door, right away I knew it would be the perfect collection for my pattern!  Initially I had hoped to grow this four block beginning into a throw size quilt throughout this Summer, but the time just continues to fly by! And so, yesterday I decided to turn what I had into a super quilty, over-sized pillow and I'm so happy with how it turned out!



I added lots of straight-line quilt stitches to my four finished quilt blocks, and finished the back with one of my most favorite Indie fabric prints and some leftover Squared Element Noir I had in my pillow binding bin!











In the end I decided that the colors and unique prints of this collection, paired with this pattern I've been wanting to try for so long, created my best, most favorite pillow that I've made to date!! Thanks Nina!

A Making Plans Day : :

We returned back home to Pennsylvania from our busy weekend away to a welcomed relaxed & rainy Monday. I had hoped to photograph my newly finished Friendship Diamond Quilt with Kevin's help, but that will have to wait for a sunnier day. Instead I'm pleased to be making quilt plans for some amazing new collections that recently arrived.



Indelible is the first fabric collection by designer Katarina Rocella for Art Gallery Fabrics. It's full of graphic text and nature themed prints in a bold, colorful range of deep purple, ash, bright turquoise, pumpkin, and gold. I love both the colors and each print that makes up this collection so much! I've started with just a quick sketch and one stitched up quilt block that might just be the first piece to the center of a medallion style quilt for me to freely build upon in the Summer weeks ahead!









I also opened, with so much excitement, an anticipated box from AGF designer Bari J! Inside was Emmy Grace, her new whimsical & sweet collection that was so thoughtfully inspired by her daughters. I know just what these will become and can't wait to dive in!



Happy Monday & sewing to all of you!
