College game day....the Oregon Ducks are playing at 4p.m. we are gathering to watch the game at my parents. Ross is out showing houses and the kids and I are in the studio....a great Saturday!
While the monsters are occupied I thought I would introduce you to Novella. My newest collection of fabric that I am truly in LOVE with. Novella has three color palettes with some pieces that cross over to other palettes.
The introduction will start with Driftwood.....Where Earth Meets Elegance...
This is Finnelopy....in aqua
in Curry...this print is cotton sateen. Cotton sateen is a heavier weight than quilting cotton but not as heavy as a traditional home decorator fabric.
Heart de flur.....charcoal
Heart de flur.....Gypsy
Peony.... Aquastone...this fabric is a yummy rayon. Like butter to sew with, I think it is my new favorite substrate.
Peony... Gold...this comes in the cotton sateen and rayon.
Peony... Gypsy
Rain...Aqua...this comes in cotton and rayon.
Rain...Gypsy
ZigZag.. aqua
Zigzag... Stone....this comes in the cotton sateen.
For the photo shoot of this color story I had a beautiful couple that is truly in love and I took them to a lake... Here are some of my FAVS from the shoot...
I have this vision of creating an canopy over a boat with a quilt....this is a start but my quilt was not big enough or my boat was too big. Someday I am going to get it to work.....
And now for some quilts...
This is a new Sewing Card called Finnelopy...
The Novella quilt is a free pattern...

I created Annie several years ago...I felt it would make a great sewing card.
The Greenwich bag is so easy and versitale....fits all my needs - sketchbook, pens, camera, wallet, phone, and all those other random things the get in your purse.
My favroite picture of Lanie and Jordan...they were amazing!
I am being beckoned to play legos and barbies.....Have a great day!
