Wildwood Dwellings Fabric Tour

Greeting friends - happy Friday! Welcome to the Poppie Cotton Wildwood Dwellings Fabric Tour. I am thrilled to be today's stop on the tour - thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I have a couple special projects to share, created with the new Wildwood Dwellings Fabric Collection designed by Sheri McCulley for Poppie Cotton. I was super excited to put on my quilt designer hat and work with these soft, nature-filled prints. This brand new collection (shipping to quilt shops this month) has lovely deer, quail, fox and squirrel motifs, gorgeous florals, vintage-look blender fabrics, and fancy flower pots...all done in a soft color palette of pinks, blues, teals, and yellows...and you all know I LOVE a good nature-inspired collection! Let's take a close-up look at my projects...

If you stopped by yesterday, then you have already seen my Dresden Plate Table Runner. This runner measures 42.5" x 14.5" and is embellished with 3/4" rick rack around the center circles and perimeter. I didn't use a pattern, I just made it up as I went along...

Next is my "Sweet Sewing Book" (again, my own design, no pattern - just me playing in my studio). I created an oblong Log Cabin Quilt Block for the front and the back to feature the Deer Meadow Light Teal fabric print in the centers. It measures 8” x 6.5” when closed. It has an elastic and button closure, with five pockets inside and Benzie Design wool blend felt needle pages (color is Blush). I used hand-dyed trim (inside) and twill tape (scissor tie) from Lady Dot Creates to add a special touch. I also added fussy cut/appliquéd fabric accents. I inserted specialty pins from my very favorite Puntini Puntini and an ink on wood needle minder from Michelle Palmer. The spool thread bobbins are from my friend Ellie at TheBitsyBrocanteShop. Background and binding are Country Confetti (also from Poppie Cotton).

Inspired by my Dresden Plate Table Runner, I decided to create a large Dresden Plate project bag. This is one of my signature projects bags and it measures 14" x 14". I fussy cut the center circle and trimmed it with yellow rick rack. Background fabric is Country Confetti. I used a yellow zipper and zipper pull for a pretty accent.

I hope you have enjoyed this stop on the fabric tour and are feeling inspired - thank you for visiting with me today.
