V and Co InstaFriday

Welcome to Insta Friday. Where I show off some of my favorite pictures from my Instagram acct here on the blog. First we have a picture of my Color Theory Dress. I had a wonderful friend who just happens to be an amazing seamstress make me a dress that she pinned and drafted and made just for me. she followed New Look # 6223  pattern but made alterations to fit me perfectly. It's one of my most favorite dresses. (PS: my husband always asks why I have buoys hanging around my neck every time I wear this necklace…and also asks if my neck hurts when I wear it…perhaps sometimes my neck does feel a little strained...don't care still love it.) (PPS: I am very white in this picture…apparently I didn't get as much sun as most other summers…I blame it on too much work not enough play...)

Next is another Color Theory project! This one is probably one of my most favorite! Look at that adorable dog. Seriously, he's like want to eat him so cute! This was one of The Village Haberdashery's customer Chrisblanshard who made this dog bed using the All People Quilts FREE Tutorial on their site.

Also I haven't really talked lately (I've been super busy!!) about the fact that Simply Color: Green Book is out and available for purchase!!! (you can also purchase RED, ORANGE, and YELLOW.) This wonderful picture was taken by my great friend Chris the Tattooed Quilter his pictures are always just so inspiring and fun to look at.

I'm so excited to have BLUE and PURPLE show up in the coming months to complete the whole box set!!

But I have to Gush…I looooove the green book like a lot…it's sort of my favorite color (well along with blue) But this is one of my favorite quilts in the GREEN book.  It's called Green Bean and it's proudly displayed in my house. It's made up of mostly scraps of greens from all sorts of shades and tints and values, to make log cabins...I heart it a lot.
Okay...
SOOOOO…remember Wednesday?
Yeah she finished:

Isn't this AAMAZING? 340 Hexagons, ready to be quilted...If you are going to Quilt Market Nicole's Ombre Hexagons will be hanging out in my booth in the Moda section. I'm beyond excited. :)
Have a great weekend.
Happy fall.
We'll talk soon.

Insta Friday…on Wednesday

Hexagons made out of V and Co Ombre 

 Well, how about that…I totally miss and mess up my first INSTA FRIDAY back this last week. I have a good excuse. Well, not really I guess…my mom came into town and I was just getting everything ready. BUT! This just means that I'll have more pictures to show you in a couple days again. Because Instagram is a hopping with pictures! SO FUN!
Today lets highlight these pictures! Modern HandCraft is so amazing with her Modern Hexies. If you haven't seen these work of art with fabric, you need to go check it out now….so amazing!

We sent her some fabric so she could work her magic and sure enough she hasn't disappointed. Here is her FREE TUTORIAL. 

 Next up was this really pretty quilt made by Quilt Jane using our Color Theory Fabric with Moda. Please don't ask me what the quilt pattern is, I know she made it up..and perhaps there will be a pattern for it someday…but what I can tell you is that she made it for a wonderful friend of ours, Penny (who's husband just recently passed away unexpectedly).
It's a gorgeous quilt and their friendship is equally as beautiful. I pray that this quilt and their friendship will give her comfort in this trial-some time. We love you Penny.

And Last one for now are these gorgeous Butterfly Paper Pieced Quilt blocks by Sariditty. She used Lillyella's pattern and she used our Simply Colorful Green Blue Purple Fabric with Moda (WHICH SHIPS SOON!!!! YAY!!)  for the butterflies. The finished quilt is amazing!!! I'll show that off more later next week!!! :)
Okay off to keep working. Market is around the corner and I have a few things that need to get done…and FAST!
We'll talk soon, I promise I'll post some more fun Instagram pictures on Friday!!!
