I’m absolutely delighted to welcome you to my stop on the Poppie Cotton Granny's Sewing Room Fabric Tour! Thank you so much for dropping by—it's always a treat to visit with you.
Today, I’m thrilled to share the special pieces I created using the brand-new Granny's Sewing Room Collection by Sheri McCulley for Poppie Cotton. The moment I received these vintage inspired sewing prints, I couldn’t wait to put on my quilt designer hat and dive in!
About the Collection:
This darling collection—shipping to quilt shops this month—is bursting with charm. You’ll find sweet motifs like strawberries, blossoms, daisies, tulips, bluebirds, buttons, sewing machines, mannequins and sewing notions—all wrapped in a delightful palette of pinks, teals, yellows and white. It’s vintage sewing style in fabric form, and I had the best time bringing these prints to life!
✨ Project 1: Sew Happy Quilt
First up is my original Sew Happy Mini Quilt - I didn't use a pattern, just made it up as I went along, creating happy blocks and sewing them together. It measures 30.5” W x 30.5” H and features:
- Machine appliqué quilt blocks
- Foundation pieced quilt blocks
- Country Confetti background fabrics
- Jailhouse Stripes binding
- ¼” button for cottage doorknob.
This small quilt is perfect for hanging in my sewing room and showcases some of my favorite things.
✨ Project 2: Sewing Roll with Strawberry Pincushion
I am so excited to share this sweet sewing roll and strawberry pincushion. There are no patterns for these—again, I made them up as I went along.
- The Sewing Roll is 6” x 17” when open.
- Three pockets (the bottom pocket is gusseted).
- Wool Blend Felt from Benzie Design for needles and pins.
- Tied with Hand-dyed Rayon Ribbon from Lady Dot Creates
- My own design, no pattern.
- The matching strawberry pincushion is made with Wool Blend Felt from Benzie Design.
- Strawberry is die cut from Felt Berry Blossom by Nichol Spohr for Spellbinders
- Hand stitched together with DMC embroidery floss.
- ¼” button for center of the blossom.
- Decorative pins shown are from Puntini Puntini.
✨ Project 3: Strip-pieced Large Project Bag
Last but not least, I sewed up a large strip-pieced project bag (again, no pattern, just my creativity).
- Showcases each fabric print in this collection.
- Lining is Country Confetti.
- White zipper pull.
- Again, my own design, no pattern.
