Lakeland Blues Fabric Tour

Hello, friends—happy Tuesday!

I’m so excited to welcome you to my stop on the Poppie Cotton Lakeland Blues Fabric Tour! Thank you for stopping by for a visit—it’s always such a treat to have you here.

Today, I’m absolutely thrilled to share several special pieces I created using the brand-new Lakeland Blues Collection by the talented Samantha Walker for Poppie Cotton. As soon as I saw these stunning floral prints, I couldn’t wait to put on my quilt designer hat and dive right in!

🌿 About the Collection:

This delightful line (shipping to quilt shops this month!) is filled with gorgeous floral motifs—think hydrangeas, elegant roses, rose buds, damasks, and leafy diamonds—all wrapped in a dreamy palette of dusty blues, soft blues, deep country blues, and whites. ✨ It’s the perfect mix of elegance and heartwarming charm, and I had so much fun bringing these prints to life.

✨ Project 1: Floral Charm Table Runner

First up is my original Floral Charm Table Runner—a Blue Ribbon Design pattern available in my Etsy Shop (digital or paper format). It measures 52" W x 16" H, and the size is easily adaptable. This beginner-friendly project features all of the fabrics in the Lakeland Blues collection—a beautiful way to showcase the prints! 💐

✨ Project 2: Sweet Snacks Mug Rugs

Next, I stitched up two of my Sweet Snacks Mug Rugs ☕🍪—another Blue Ribbon Designs pattern available in my Etsy Shop (paper or digital format). Each measures 10” W x 7” H and combines traditional patchwork piecing with a touch of appliqué. Perfect for anyone wanting to dabble in machine appliqué! I thought these prints were perfect for teacups—they remind me of vintage delft blue teacups and saucers. 💙

✨ Project 3: Mini Patchwork Pouches

And—because I couldn’t resist—I created a couple of mini patchwork zippered pouches (no pattern this time, just pure creativity ✂️✨). Each one showcases every print from the collection, lined with Country Confetti fabric, and finished with navy zippers and zipper pulls. They measure 7” W x 4” H, with each sweet little square finishing at 1”.

✨ Project 4: Wish and Wonder Wall Organizer

Finally, if you missed my post yesterday - I created a Wish and Wonder Wall Organizer! This is my monthly project tutorial on the Therm O Web Blog - visit the following link for the pattern, complete tutorial, and all the details: https://blog.thermoweb.com/wish-and-wonder-wall-organizer/
