Yum- Textured Basics!

From time to time Heather and I get some yummy fabrics to share and we love this latest collection from Michael Miller, Textured Basics by Patty Young.

They had me at rainbow.

I love bright and happy fabrics and I've finally gotten Heather onto my side.  But not only does this look adorable on top of my fabric shelf...BUT they are an awesome stash builder.  Seriously, I'm even missing some in the picture because I couldn't wait to cut into them.  I had some pictures of these prints with various projects but somewhere between my camera and the computer they were eaten up.  What can you do...

Each colorway has the same prints... hexies, stripes, dots, etc.  I just spied some Textured Basics at my LQS the other day...

What are your basic go-to's in your stashes?

Mine are definitely dots!

We've got a special Quit Story later this week of our own to share, see you Friday!!

Fun new pile of fabric for me!

Welcome Maya from Aunt Bea's Fabric, our new sponsor!!!  Aunt Bea's fabric shop is super fun and cute. Check out her shop for a huge variety of cotton quilting prints, japanese prints, retro,

 reproduction you name it!

She has secure checkout, a weekly newsletter that to keep you up to date on new fabrics and sales. She also has a 100% satisfaction guarantee! Can't beat that!

How do you like this variety Maya provided me? She went the extra mile for me and 

hand picked out several of these prints when I told her I wanted a variety of mostly greens

 and some blues. I think she did pretty good here.

Don't you just love these prints?  I have a super fun quilt in mind for 

them for my niece Hannah. She has loved green since she was a little girl. I hope she likes it!

Welcome  Aunt Bea's fabric. Can't wait to work with these lovely fabrics!

Look what Megan and I got...

Okay, this made us giddy. (lots of things make us giddy when we are together and Megan has been in town for over a week, and has over a week more!)  First I apologize for the photos, we have to craft late (due to the miniature humans that live with us and demand our attention) thus, no natural light...  Anywho...

Our first shopping stop was The Material Girls Quilts in South Jordan Utah. We LOVE the owner Nadine. She gave us our start in selling patterns. She told us she would buy them before we even made any! She just gives us confidence boosts all the time. She also gave us the NICEST letter of recommendation to get into Quilt Market... Plus she is super funny and fun to be around.

So we saw this intriguing little brown bag gem in the corner of her shop. I had seen them before but never purchased any because I was scared it would be scraps from the bolts that never sold due to their ugliness. But with Megan there and her encouragement, we decided to go for it. 

When we opened it we were giggling so hard. We were super happy! We want more of them!  Look at all these fun prints! There were only a few prints we didn't like which we will tie in a cute bow and give our Mother for her birthday...so nothing lost there.

There is enough Riley Blake to make a Halloween runner for each of us!

There is probably over 6 yards of fabric in here!  Hopefully you will see some finished projects with these prints in them sometime soon.  Thanks Nadine!
