It’s Official: PEPPERY is “Hot”!!

PaulaBarnes-SP15

It looks like Paula Barnes knew what she meant when she named her newest collection PEPPERY!  Just days into its official release, the collection of black, cream and beige small prints is a noticeable winner already! Easy to see, because these colors transfer from reproduction and historical quilts to modern, and they lend themselves easily to quilts and projects with a tailored, more masculine feel, such as out Heidi Pridemore’s project (coming soon as a download at your local quilt shops):

Versatile, stashworthy Peppery prints are also great as subtly textured grounds for applique and needlework, like this example from Crabapple Hill Studio.

PEPPERY comes to your local quilt shop this summer – see the entire collection online now, and plan a project to enjoy all year long!

 

 

It’s Time to Announce Our Giveaway Winner…

Thanks to all of you who expressed your enthusiasm and creativity in discussing our NEW AGED MUSLINS.  The winner of this generously swatched sample card is Karen Martin of Breezy Point, MN, who said:

I love the aged muslins and have mostly used them as backgrounds for stitchery, applique and occasionally in piecing. I also love the aged canvas–I’m using it for a background on a wool applique project and it supports the wool wonderfully.  I’ve never tried the colors–they look yummy!

 And it seems many of you have used (or plan to use) the New Aged Muslins in similar ways and in many others, like sashings, shirts, Log Cabins, mixed with repros, updated Amish-style quilts and more.  We appreciate your input!  ; )     — lisa
