Sunday Stash - Duplicate Order

2/4/2017

 
Fat Quarter bundle of Heather Ross' Sleeping Porch fabric line by Windham Fabrics {Sarah @BerryBarnDesigns} #heatherross #sleepingporchfabric #windhamfabrics #sundaystash
My forgotten fall pre-order of Heather Ross' Sleeping Porch arrived this week... right along with the stack I *just* purchased last weekend! (Will mom-brain ever end??) But the beauty of this bonanza of fabric is that I now have one set to hoard AND one to play with. So I've been cutting and fiddling with layouts, and hopefully I'll have a pattern to share soon along with the finished flimsy. (Plus, there's a good chance some scraps will make an appearance in this month's Tuesday Treats giveaway! Check out IG or my newsletter for details. Wait, not a newsletter subscriber yet?? Sign up here and you'll get the next edition delivered straight to your inbox this Thursday!)

The draw to Heather Ross' collections, aside from the whimsy, is that I love how the palettes of her fabric lines play so nicely together, and her evolving selection of substrates (from cotton and voile to linen and jersey). I started with Briar Rose thinking I'd make something bright for my girls, but found I couldn't bear to cut it up. (Those strawberries!) Realizing how well they coordinated, I added Tiger Lily and Far, Far Away with the intent of an epic quilt far, far in the future - maybe a trip around the world or something similarly scrappy and bursting with color. So I'm going to just keep adding lines until I have the time for such a big project. (But for my bank accounts' sake, hopefully this will be the only one I accidentally double up on ; )

Gotta save the selvedges!
Do you have a favorite designer you hoard? Or one you want to create an epic all-the-lines quilt with? I'm always curious which designers' lines most inspire you!

I don't mean to laugh, but I have often bought fabric that was already in my stash. And have done it more times than I care to admit. LOL

I go through phases with different fabric designers, but I am definitely drawn to Carolyn Friedlander and Alison Glass. An epic all-the-lines quilt is probably not something I could pull off as I don't tend to like everything in any one line and I don't buy bundles... but it does have a strong appeal and design challenge aspect that I find intriguing! I'm glad you were able to find a bit of humor in the double order and I look forward to seeing how your quilt comes together. :)
