A New Project-Sneak Peek

July 20, 2017

Quilting, Lori Kennedy, Hand DyeGood Morning, Quilters!

I recently splurged on a collection of hand dyed fabric from Cherrywood Fabrics…

They are sooooo pretty–the kind you don’t even want to cut!

But I’ve learned my lesson about “saving fabrics”.  (I once saved a favorite fabric so long it went out of date and I gave it away without using it.)

I decided to break out the hand dyes for a new project.

I am working on Jacquelynne Steve’s (Art of the Home) block of the month blog hop.

The Patterns are FREE and available August 7…but YOU can sign up now!

I plan to free motion quilt the houses on the center squares (instead of appliqué), so I am changed the color way to include a medium blue as the center square–but more on that in August…

If YOU are interested stitching along, sign up to get the patterns each month.  There will be several quilt bloggers show variations of the “I Love Home” pattern.

It’s a great chance to try a few new techniques.

Hope YOU will join us!

Signed,

The Happy Homemaker,

Lori

    Wow!!! Bonus!!!! I love Jacquelynn and YOU. I am really excited about this. I can’t wait. Anxious to get my fabrics ready. It looks like the houses may be able to be scrappy.

    Great fabrics. Such beautiful colours. I am signed up for the BOM as well. Mine will vary from the patterns as I plan haunted houses. I haven’t made a Halloween quilt in a few months so it is time. 🙂

    Hi! As a new quilter, I get so much inspiration from your site. Thank you! Question: What does it mean when fabric goes out of date? Is this something I need to watch out for? I’ve been using up some fabrics I got more than 15 years ago.

    1. WordPress.com Support says:
      July 20, 2017 at 10:18 am

      Great question! No fabric does not go out of date–but like fashion it can look dated. I saved it so long it had no appeal after awhile.

      1. Kammy Lyon says:
        July 20, 2017 at 10:22 am

        Ah that makes sense!

      2. Kristy Moore says:

        Weird, I have fabric from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 80’s that I regularly incorporate into quilts and clothing.

      3. WordPress.com Support says:
        July 21, 2017 at 7:38 am

        I have many old fabrics that I like to use too. But this one just lost its appeal for me over time.

      4. Kristy Moore says:
        July 21, 2017 at 7:36 am

        Oops , that’s 80’s and 90’s.

    This is intriguing! I’ve signed up as I want to follow along with you for the machine quilting.

  12. Donna says:

    All that “free space”. I can’t even imagine what you will come up with to enhance that bare, glowing fabric.

    I can’t wait to see your quilting on it: I found you about a year ago via Pinterest, but somehow I never thought of subscribing to you blog to keep up with what you are doing now. So I’m off to see if I can subscribe! 🙂 And I love your Cherrywood block. Those fabrics are fabulous, aren’t they? I’ve got some old ones too that I haven’t cut into yet: I’d better get on it, but luckily they don’t go out of style!! 😀 Hugs, H in Healdsburg
