Hey Everyone,
Pacific International Quilt Festival is happening this weekend just about 5 miles from my shop. It has been fun and oh so busy the last few days. I get to sneak out and see the show this morning for a couple hours with some friends. I can't wait!
So what came into the shop this week? Something you all have been really excited for Terra Australis 2:
These prints make me so happy... they are bright and fun and make me want to take a trip to Australia. Hey Aussie friends can I come see you?
Did you see the Newsletter this week? It is a really good one if I do say so myself. Have a look.
If you are local we have a class with Lizzy House coming up on November 3rd we are keeping enrollments on the small side so that everyone has plenty of room to work. So if you want to come get your name in quickly. We will be making The Meadow quilt which Lizzy will not be making a pattern for. The only way to make it is to take her class. It is the one behind her in this picture:
We also got in the pattern for Modern Building Blocks I ordered it months ago but it just arrived yesterday. I am sure you have seen these all over the web people using their own scraps or what have you. This will be our Giveaway this week.
To win your own copy of the Modern Building Blocks pattern. Leave a comment telling me what fabric you would like to use to make it with. Oh thinking about it... wouldn't it be great in Terra Australis 2? Hmmm got my thinking cap on :) I will pick a winner next Friday... but I will be on a plane to Houston for Market so forgive me if I don't post until Saturday morning.
Have a super weekend!

I would love to use Butterfly Dance Fat Quarter Bundle in Pink
ReplyDeleteInterweave Chambray by Robert Kaufmann with some additional solids thrown into the mix.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of stonehenge scraps that would work for this one, especially the rainbow brights
ReplyDeleteI would do scraps. I have a ton. As scrappy as I could get it, I think.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Miss Kate or 30's but just scrappy would be wonderful or maybe black and white with a little red.
ReplyDeleteI also would dive into my stash and use up what I had in order to make room for new.
ReplyDeleteJoel Dewberry's Birch Farm!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd dig through my tula scraps! Wouldn't that be fun and bright?!
ReplyDeleteI have a stash of Kansas Troubles screaming to be used!! I've been wanting to get this pattern!
ReplyDeleteI would like to do this in my scraps of Kate Spain. It would be gorgeous mixed with Kona. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI like it in solids
ReplyDeleteI think it would look fantastic in Lecien Flower Sugar 2014 with matching solids.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the Terra Australis on IG I was so happy my hub going to you in a week until he came home telling me the travel is cancelled!!!!! Grrrr! I need those kangaroos :D
ReplyDeletefor the pattern I would use solids! I never made a quilt with just solids. For the background a light grey or creme
I would love to make that quilt with solids or use Robert Kaufman Quilter's Linens. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNot very original but I love it so much in the original solids that I would have to purchase the fabric kit.
ReplyDeleteI would use my Denyse Schmidt stash along with a bundle of solids! LOVE this pattern!
ReplyDeleteOf course I would use Terra Australis! Can't wait to get some.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have to do it in solids.
ReplyDeleteNow I've got Lizzy House on the brain so I'll say Cat Nap!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a Modern Building Blocks quilt with the Patchwork City Summer Elizabeth Hartman Designer Palette.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give away. I love the pattern, but don't really know what I would use. I have a lot of wonderful scraps, lots of color, that would be nice. Also, I love the blouse you sewed and the lovely things you knitted. Any chance we might get to see a picture of you modeling your new creations??? :)
ReplyDeleteI would use Terra Australis 2 in the second colorway. I love the combination of fuchsia, white, blue and green!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
Oh goodness, Terra Ausstalis would be cute! I'm loving the colorway with the pinks in it. Must. Resist. Fabric.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this in all Kaffe Fassett and similar fabrics, changing the colorway for the contrast (blue with red, for example) Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win. VermontPines at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of scraps I'd like to use up! And I had plans for a quilt using Wonderland that never got off the ground. Would be another idea! Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteOhh, so many fabrics would look great. I think I'd use my Kate Spain and Tula scraps..adding in text prints. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy repro 30' stash has been calling out to be used or maybe I could use all solids. I have never made a quilt in all solids yet. Interesting dilemma! (sandybailey55@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking that first bundle of Australia would go great with that pattern!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have been eyeing this pattern. .... so many fabulous choices!!! Thanks Julie!
ReplyDeleteI have a fat quarter bundle of Moda Bella Solids that seem like they are just waiting to make this quilt!
ReplyDeleteI would be using scraps to make a quilt like this.
ReplyDeleteIm working with Bella solids right now...love them. I would use them for this pattern
ReplyDeleteDaydream by Kate Spain is my choice.
ReplyDeleteI have some Terra Australis (the first collection). Combined with TA2, you're right - it would make a fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove it in solids but it would also be great in Lizzy House fabrics.
ReplyDeletethis would be great in the Terra Australis! love the colors in the line. it'd also be fun in all solids.
ReplyDeleteI think any fabric by Tula Pink would be great or perhaps all solids.
ReplyDeleteShawn
Hmmm... Am I crazy for wanting to go scrappy with it? Thanks for the chance to win it!
ReplyDeleteHalloween! Yeah, it wouldn't get finished this year, but I've been following two amazing ones in this pattern and I'm dying to give it a go! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJoel Dewberry would be my choice. Great collections. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteCotton & Steel. What fun it would be to pick & choose the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have several collections, One is Bari j and I also have Rock n Romance and oh all the Ty Pennington's and Oh, the Jeni Bakers first line. Oh, I think I need to sew.
ReplyDeleteI think the Terra Australis too abut I need to do one in mostly pinks & oranges for my baby girl!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun to use a mix of shot & peppered cottons. I also agree with Terra Australis would be fun too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous in any fabric and one of my choice would be in a mix of solids and Handcrafted.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and amazing day in Houston!!
I would love to do one scrappy. Have a great time in Houston.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally use a lot of solids but for this one I would! It's stunning just as it is!
ReplyDeletemoonshine, thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteSolids and my Tula scraps mixed in. Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided yet, but I don't want to use solids. I'm leaning towards some anna maria horner prints.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to use my Kaffe Facett shot cottons for this one.
ReplyDeleteI would make this pattern using my blue and orange stash.
ReplyDeleteI have a tub of Cherrywnood hand dyed fabrics that would be fun to use for this pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is lovely! I think I'd have to make it pretty scrappy, although I do have some Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille that is just waiting to be used.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely scraps. I am trying to busy my stash this year!
ReplyDeleteI am torn between using up scraps in my stash or using a jelly roll I just ordered this morning...Tiger Lily Batiks from Moda...both would be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have so many scraps! It looks like a perfect pattern for them
ReplyDeleteWow, I would have to make it scrappy. I have a ton of AMH scraps and textured solids left from some recent quilt making and of course my lovely low volume fat quarter stash from The Intrepid Thread!
ReplyDeleteI have a bazillion scraps but I have found myself stepping waayyyy out of my usual colorways lately by using black, gray, yellows and oranges. Soooo....it seems that Terra Australis 2 has dropped into your store at just the right time. Imagine that!!! lol I would use the orange and black colorway and some Kona solids. Enjoy market and bring home lots of goodies.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make it out of the Terra Australia . It would be gorgeous in those bright colors. Thanks for the chance to win some.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern! I think I would like to do it in that Terra Australia's hfabric! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the original fabrics and would go with the kit :)

ReplyDeleteI think it would look good in either Up Parasol or Utopia. I can't wait to see lots of pics of this quilt popping up on social media.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Solids and Tula scraps, for sure! Thanks for the chance - can't wait to hear about Market!
ReplyDeleteI'd use my stash for a lovely scrappy look.
ReplyDeleteI have some Kaffe and Grunge that I will use.
ReplyDeletezanalou999@gmail.com
Cotton and Steel basics!
ReplyDeleteI would use all my scraps from the Gypsy Wife quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI think I would use some of the new American made solids.
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between scraps and Cottton and Steel....
ReplyDeletePatchwork City Summer if I went with solids. Emma's Garden if I went with prints.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking this would be an amazing quilt done in Oakshott cottons.
ReplyDeleteBeing an Aussie I would have to go with Terra Australis in th cool colours!
ReplyDeleteI just love the Terra Australis Rainforest- it would be great fort his project! Thanks so much for this great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of bright fabric in my stash that I think would look great for this quilt. Thank you for the chance to win the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love your store. You have such beautiful fabric. My quilt group that meets every Monday is planning a field trip to your store. We'd love to win this giveaway to make a group quilt.
ReplyDeleteTerra Australis of course. I have loved this fabric line ever since I saw the first line and wanted an excuse to buy some. I've seen a local Australian designer make a Thimbleblossom pattern using Terra Australis 2 and have been hankering to use it - I love the kangaroos and geckos!
ReplyDeleteI have tons of Batik FQ's I think would be wonderful for this. Crossing my fingers :) Thanks for another great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of scraps I would use, but it would look great with Cotton and Steel. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would choose Paradiso -- love the colors in that collection!
ReplyDeleteI would do scraps with my Kona solids!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd make a scrappy two-color version of the quilt--maybe scrappy greens combined with low volume prints.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I LOVE to mix and match my collections!! The more variety the better!! I love that this quilt lends itself to that!!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be lovely as a scrap quilt. Thanks for the giveaway! :-)
ReplyDeletei think the new kona colors plus white would be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI can picture this fabulous pattern in beautiful batiks - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would do it in Kona solids. Love this pattern.
ReplyDeleteI probably should use up scraps for this fantastic quilt. But, I really would like to do it in solids.
ReplyDeleteI would make it with scraps
ReplyDeletecooladam1 at live dot com
PIQF was awesome as usual. Wish that I was going to Houston too! I would make this with Horizon by Kate Spain. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have been saving a Kaffe Fassett Shott cotton fat quarter bundle, wouldn't that look amazing?!?
ReplyDeleteI have been saving a Kaffe Fassett Shott cotton fat quarter bundle, wouldn't that look amazing?!?
ReplyDeleteI would make it with scraps and use solid kona cottons as the background colour.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be interesting to try the Pointillist Palette by Lunn Studios in this pattern.
ReplyDeleteI think I would use solids, but maybe throw some Cotton & Steel prints in to break it up a little.
ReplyDeleteSandy A
I think Id raid my scraps to make this.
ReplyDeleteI think some Kona solids would look great!! LOVE this pattern!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for solids!
ReplyDeleteI think either solids or a mixture of fabric lines- I like the scrappy look!!
ReplyDeleteI would use my plentiful scraps and some Grunge fabrics I have. I would love to include some Gramercy in my quilt also.
ReplyDeletetushay3(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would probably use just whatever I have in my stash,
ReplyDeletebut I think it would totally look great in solid kona cottons in white, grey and black.
or true colors by Amy Butler?
Have fun at quilt market!
asian fabrics with the gold highlights.
ReplyDeletepaulburega at gmail dot com
I would love to make this in some of the Art Gallery Pure Elements solids - the colours are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be beautiful in shot cottons. Or perhaps that Joel Dewberry fq pack that I have in oranges and pinks, with a bit of Aqua thrown in.
ReplyDeletei Think i would pull fabrics from my stash and go rainbow scrappy.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do a quilt in solids for quite some time so my choice is Kona!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought is batiks... But that might be too busy. I think solids are the way to go, but bright, bright, bright!
ReplyDeleteKaliaContiki@gmail.com
I have a baskets of batiks that I haven't cut into in over a year ago. I think they would work great!
ReplyDeleteindeed Terra Australis for building blocks. I love the gum flowers, gum leaves, wattle, gecko's an dmaps...in the golds and orange.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.
Perfect for scrappy!
ReplyDeletethinking some art gallery mix would look great!
ReplyDeleteI would make it from scraps; red, pink, blue, gold, chocolate brown, green and aqua! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteI think Elementary by Moda would be pretty!
ReplyDeleteSusie
A couple different collections come to mind, but each would have to have an additional dose of solids thrown in, don't you think? Figures by Zen Chic, or Modern Neutrals by Amy Ellis, just for starters :)
ReplyDeleteI think it would look good done in Somerset by Fig Tree & Co.
ReplyDeletejen dot barnard at btinternet dot com
It would look great in Daysail, with a few scraps of previous B&C lines thrown in too!
ReplyDeleteohh I can see this in Mustangs for my soon to be daughter in law
ReplyDeleteI think it would look fantastic in Hatch Timeless Treasures Fabrics or Tiptoes Custom.

ReplyDeleteI would use something by Amy Butler, maybe Hapi.
ReplyDeletespeddar at hotmail dot com
It looks like scrappy would work well and I'd probably go heavy on the Allison Glass and Anna Maria Horner
ReplyDeleteLecien Flower Sugar
ReplyDeleteo i HAVE LOTS OF GREYS AND BLACK AND WHITES THAT WOULD LOOK PERFECT WITH THAT PATTERN AND A DASH OR TWO OF COLOURS LIKE ORANGE AND RED!
ReplyDeleteI have some Kate Spain Solstice that I would use.
ReplyDeleteI think this would be pretty using Kate Spain's Horizon or Lotta Jansdotter fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI think this would be pretty using Kate Spain's Horizon or Lotta Jansdotter fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI have a stash of Terrain by Kate Spain which I think would look marvelous made up in this awesome sampler.
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to picture very bold prints - maybe Alison Glass, grouping those rich saturated colors she uses. Nice! Or a hot mess - not the fault of the fabric but of me, the quilter, trying to arrange busy prints to be not too busy. Ha!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful fabrics and you want me to pick just one??? Well, Butterfly Dance would be fun!
ReplyDeletei would love to use Fox and Friends for this quilt
ReplyDeleteerin2470@hotmail.com
Botanics!
ReplyDeletet_ktl@yahoo.com
I am a scrappy person, so the scrappier it is, full of unusual novelties the more I like it! But I must say, I probably would use more solids on this one and a lot of cool neutral texts prints for backgrounds. At least that's what I'm thinking now. Usually I just decide what I think and go for it, but this particular pattern is one that I have noticed and would love to make. Thank you for sponsoring the nice giveaway!

I like it in solids. I'd probably add some scrappiness too.
ReplyDeleteI would make it in almost solids, like Oakshot cottons or Moda Grudge fabrics by BasicGrey. Thanks for the chance to win! jacklynnsteven at netzero dot com
ReplyDeleteI have a bundle of Mia from Red Rooster I have been trying to decide where to use it.
ReplyDeleteI have been loving the Arizona Collection from the Fat Quarter Shop. I think the fabrics would go great with this pattern
ReplyDeleteI would love to see how it would look in batiks. Just for fun!
