Gradients Back in StockA two week vacation is a wonderful thing and I'm lucky that I am able to take that much time. I highly recommend a 2 week break even if it's a "staycation". That extra week allows you to really mentally escape and relax. But the downside is that it takes a week to get myself back in gear! I think I'm now mostly caught up including restocking these 2 popular gradients.  Imperial Dragon Gradient  Sundance Gradient

Sale ends Sunday. Rene Iannarelli used Woodlands in her art quilt Fall Marsh. New Shibori Saikai Stash Pack Last week I wanted to dye Shibori and I thought it might be fun to stick with the traditional blue colors for this batch. I couldn't be a total purist so there's a little black and purple added for accents. This variety of blues in the Saikai Stash Pack will be perfect for watery landscapes. If fat eighths aren't big enough there are also two other half yard Shibori pieces in the shop.

Here are some ways that customers have used them. New Reflections! I love making Reflections fabrics and the orange sky one that I made last time sold out fast! So I got back in the dye studio to make more.
There are two pale blues for your mid-day sky. Raushan has a little purple that might make a nice dusk sky.
The two pinks are perfect for sunrise and sunsets. I made one with a gold base and the other with an orange base. Hopefully you can find one that's perfect for your next landscape project.
Fabric of the Week Take A Hike is 20% off through Sunday This week's fabric news is all about gradients and we're starting with the fabric if the week. Take A Hike was inspired by the colors we saw on a recent hiking trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This week it's on sale 20% off. New Gradient New Gradient - Envy! I've been wanting to make an all-green gradient but there are a lot of greens to choose from! I wanted something bright but not too close to crayon green. All the other greens are envious that I chose this colorway. It's exactly the look I was going for! Envy would be great as a meadow component of an art quilt and would provide a wonderful range of greens for applique leaves. Helios is back in stock! Helios Gradient Finally the ever-popular Helios Gradient is back! This is most often used as sunrise/sunset background for art quilts.

Fabric of the Week Thistle Shades Pack - 20% off through Sunday  Florida Sunset by Jeannette Ringuette The Fabric of the Week this week is Thistle. Thistle is a surprisingly popular Shades Pack! Yes it's dull but it's wonderful for landscape quilts. It's a purple gray and often works better to represent gray than a pure cool gray. You can see that perfectly in Jeannette Ringuette's Florida Sunset. This week Thistle is 20% off through Sunday. New Shibori! Hirado Shibori Stash Pack  Sasebi Shibori Stash Pack I had a great time dyeing some new Shibori pieces last week. I used 8 of them to make a new Stash Pack. Each piece in the Shibori Stash Packs is a fat eighth. There are now 2 of these Stash Packs in the shop. They are great if you want a variety of colors but don't need huge pieces. There are also 3 more half yard pieces. Check out all of the Shibori in the shop. New Quilt Backs!
I made the first one of the monochromatic spirals as an accident and loved it so much that I used it for the back of my Lost My Marbles quilt. I like them because they are like a tie-dye spiral but they don't scream '70's. I've added 2 to the shop this week and they are each approximately 104 x 110. Check them out in the shop.
New Moody Blues Stash Pack New Stash Pack - Moody Blues I was looking over my collection of Stash Packs recently and thought that I needed a new pack of blues to bridge between Caribbean and Midnight. Midnight has a great collection of dark blues with some black, gray and purple. Caribbean has the bright ocean blues that have a bit of turquoise running through them. I created Moody Blues to bridge the gap. It has a light to dark range of pure blues and will be great for skies and water. You can check out all of the Stash Packs in the shop.
