This Spring Quilt Market in May would have marked my 20th Spring Quilt Market…I had some fun things planned…but as they say…Life Happens…so I will just have to have the fun right here on this Blog!! I am going to slowly discuss/explain this fabric line and the quilts we have made with it… We have the time…I am going to enjoy it as I talk about them over the next week or two… Twenty years is a long time…I have had a blast…I think this is really what I was meant to do…even though it wasn’t in my plans...sometimes it just happens that way. I am grateful for everything and especially those of you who have followed me through the years… and I am not done yet…there is still so much to do…
Redwork Gatherings
…is my Moda fabric line based on my antique quilt collection.
My favorite quilts in my collection are the Red & White onesโฆI love red & white quilts so much that I knew I had to create fabrics inspired by these quilts. A treasured antique Redwork quilt inspired the main panel in this line and it can be used for so many thingsโฆ
If you love slow-stitching โand you know I do- the blocks can be stitched over the top of the printed lines or they can be left as they are. The designs can also be used as the center squares of pieced blocks, or just add a feather stitch between the blocks and it will be like the inspiration quiltโฆthe possibilities are endless. The panel is 58″ wide with a 36″ repeat. I do not have a real pic of the panel. Can you see how we made it look like it is stitched already?
Our panel is made up of only flowers & birds.
I also have a few small baby quilts with redwork designs on them… There is something so sweet about redwork stitching.If you can’t wait for me to explain all the fabrics and quilts…they are already on the site for pre-order. The pre-cuts are 20% off the kits are 10% off and the backings if purchase with the kit are 20% off. But there will be more posts with chances for you to WIN stuff…I will pick winners at the end of all the Redwork Gatherings posts… but I will pick a winner from EACH post. So PLEASE stick around and put up with me taking the time I usually don’t have to share the quilts and fabrics with you…
All REDWORK pre-orders will receive this cute sticker sheet that I was going to give out at Market..until we run out of them, I don’t think we will run out we have 300 of them…but if we do we will order more to cover our pre-orders…I don’t think we will have 300 pre-orders but I would be overjoyed if that would happen! We have limited quantities left of the STITCH stickers as we did put them in the Bunny kit orders….we have already re-ordered them so please be patient as the sticker company is NOT working right now…but we will have them again soon.
And a simple reminder that you will not be able to put anything that is not a pre-order on the same order…all preorders for kits or pre-cuts will be shipped when all the items have been received from Moda. Click the following button to go to our pre-order category.
Next post… the Redwork Gatherings fabrics!
