Home Sweet Home Fabric Tour

Happy Tuesday - welcome to my stop on the Home Sweet Home Fabric Tour - thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I am thrilled to be sharing these cheerful fabrics from Poppie Cotton. I have a couple very special projects lined up, created with the new Home Sweet Home fabric collection designed by Elea Lutz for Poppie Cotton. I enjoyed putting on my quilt designer hat and playing with these charming, vintage-feel prints. This brand new fabric collection (shipping to quilt shops this month) has a happy and vibrant feel to me. As with all Poppie Cotton fabric lines, the entire collection is filled with tiny details and the sweetest little motifs. There are succulent strawberries, lovely florals, and unique vintage cross stitch and redwork prints (YES - there are cross stitch and redwork prints!). The color palette is bursting with vivid reds, pinks, minty greens, warm blues, yellows and creams - perfect for brightening up your project pile!

First, I created a whimsical village mini quilt - fussy cutting the "Happy Home" print cottages for the centers of my Economy Quilt Blocks. Plus all of the redwork and cross stitch fabrics were fussy cut for print and direction. I foundation paper-pieced the blocks on StitchnSew EZ Print Quilt Block Sheets. This project doesn't have a pattern - it was just me playing around in my studio. My little cottage mini measures 20" x 20" and I added pink rick rack around the perimeter before binding. I thought this tiny quilt turned out super cute and showcases these darling prints perfectly! I added hanging tabs and used my favorite wrought iron flag hanger to display.

I also decided to make a super cute "Pretty Posies Pouch" - I created my mini charm zippered pouch with a boxed bottom and a wrist strap. With all the wonderful little details in each print, it was fun to fussy cut mini charm squares to focus on the special motifs in each fabric. This pattern is my own design and can be found in my Etsy Shop.
