My name is Betty and I have a fabric addiction. I love fabrics! Civil War reproduction fabrics, Jo Morton fabrics, Primitive Gatherings fabrics, Fig Tree fabrics, wools, and flannels are some of my favorites. Some women shop for shoes and purses I shop for fabric! AppleJack learned long ago the one sure way to make me happy was to take me fabric shopping.
One of my favorite quilt magazines is Primitive Quilts. Being a Prim girl this comes as no surprise. The magazine contains instructions for more than just quilts--there is rug hooking, needle punch and wool appliqué.
In the fall, I was searching through back issues of the magazine looking for the hexie project and I found another project which caught my eye. In the Summer 2013 issue of Primitive Quilts, Melissa Lussier, Cornbread and Beans Quilting Company has a quilt she calls Blue and Gray.
Working with the fabrics in these charm packs is pure delight. Beautiful fabrics with names (Battle Hymn and Charleston) representative of the struggle between the north and the south.
Those are some lovely fabrics! Please share with us when you are finished.

ReplyDeleteI also share your love of repro fabrics but I'm not a quilter - love Primitive Quilts and Projects Mag - it gets me in big trouble. I'm off to a retreat tomorrow where Paula Barnes and Joyce Weeks (Geoff's Mom quilts) and many other quilters will be. We will have our 1 little table of rug hookers and they will ooh and ahh over our hooking and we over their quilting - it's an event where I always come home thinking I will quilt or maybe yes I can do hexies or other hand quilting or applique.

ReplyDeleteI, too, am a fabric addict!! You project looks so interesting and I look forward to seeing it as you finish it.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! You mean there are people who aren't fabric addicts? :D
ReplyDeleteOh my, such pretty fabrics! Your love of fabric and your style matches mine in so many ways ... making me your newest follower. ;-) And I do hope you'll keep us updated on your progress on this lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love that magazine too! I just bought the Spring 2015 issue. Your quilt is lovely and such a great way to use charm squares. I just got a charm pack of Ladies' Album by Barbara Brackman and might do something similar to yours for a table runner. It would be perfect for my coffee table, I think. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics. I have the one of mini flags. LOVE repro prints.
ReplyDeleteI first discovered them while attending a quilt show looking for fabrics for my cross stitch projects. Looking forward to seeing your progress on your quilt!
love Annette
The colors of Civil War fabrics are by far my favorites, but then I also like Kansas Troubles.
