Flower Market Fabric Tour

Hello, friends—happy Wednesday!

I’m so excited to welcome you to my stop on the Poppie Cotton Flower Market Fabric Tour! Thank you so much for stopping by—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 Flower Market Collection by the incredibly talented Elea Lutz 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

Shipping to quilt shops this month, the Flower Market Collection is a fresh and fragrant line filled with gorgeous floral motifs—think roses, daisies, forget-me-nots, and tiny scattered petals—all wrapped in a vibrant palette of reds, greens, blues, pinks, yellows, and whites. ✨

It’s the perfect blend of cheerful vintage and heartwarming charm, and I had so much fun bringing these prints to life! 💐

✨ Project 1: Rosebud Manor Wall Hanging

First up is my original Rosebud Manor Wall Hanging, a Blue Ribbon Design pattern available in my Etsy Shop (digital or paper format). It measures 28½” W x 28½” H, and the size is easily adaptable.

This beginner-friendly appliqué project features most of the fabrics in the Flower Market collection—a beautiful way to showcase the prints!

• The center "manor" block is machine appliqué with added fussy-cut rose bushes.
• I used a clay flower button from Puntini Puntini for the doorknob.
• Rick rack inserted around the perimeter of the center block.
• The surrounding economy blocks are foundation pieced using StitchnSew EZ Print Foundation Piecing Stabilizer from Therm O Web.
• The binding, center background, and some house details are all Country Confetti prints.

✨ Project 2: Patchwork Project Bag

Next, I created a large patchwork project bag—no pattern, just pure creativity! 🪡

• It measures 10” x 13”, with each square finishing at 2½”.
• The top row features fussy-cut roses from the Hand Picked print—one in each colorway.
• Sashing is Country Confetti in Marshmallow New White
• I used red gingham ribbon for the pull, adding a sweet vintage touch.

✨ Project 3: Pincushion with Scissor Tie

And because I couldn’t resist, I made a sweet pin pillow with wool felt embellishment and a scissor tie—again, no pattern, just creativity. ✂️

• It measures 6” x 6” and features a red gingham ribbon tie to hold scissors.
• I added a hand-stitched 100% wool felt flower made from Bellwether Felt by Benzie Design.
• Red rick rack inserted around the perimeter.

Rosebud Manor Small Quilt

Greetings friends! It's NEW pattern day...so let's talk about Rosebud Manor. I had so much fun designing a creating my new pattern "Rosebud Manor" - a small quilt perfect for a wall hanging or table topper. This mini quilt has foundation pieced quilt blocks around the perimeter and a machine appliqué block in the center.

Rosebud Manor measures 28.5" x 28.5" and is great for showing off a favorite fabric collection. The simple foundation pieced quilt blocks around the perimeter lend themselves to fussy cut centers - putting a spotlight on a favorite print. The center machine appliqué block uses a touch of rick rack for embellishment and a tiny 1/4" button for the doorknob.

For the model, I used HeatnBond Lite Iron-On Adhesive for the fusible web and I used HeatnBond Fusible Fleece instead of batting (choose your favorite!). I added two little ribbon hanging tabs for a wrought iron hanger, but your could add corner pockets or a sleeve for hanging.

I used gorgeous fabric prints from the Elise collection by Terri Henson for Poppie Cotton - this fabric collection is brand new and is shipping to quilt shops in June. The background and binding are Country Confetti - this basic collection is also from Poppie Cotton.

The pattern is extremely detailed with foundation blocks provided I even include instructions for foundation piecing and machine appliqué. The pattern is 27 pages and full of color images and photos for every step. You can find it in both paper and/or digital format in my Etsy Shop.

I posted a short behind the scenes video of putting this small quilt together on my YouTube channel:

I hope this new pattern inspires you to create a Rosebud Manor small quilt of your very own, using your favorite fabric collection...and if you do, I hope you will share a photo or two with me!

Elise Fabric Tour

Greeting friends - happy Monday! Welcome to the Poppie Cotton Elise Fabric Tour. I am thrilled to be today's stop on the tour - thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. You are here on a great day, because this month, my fabric tour post coincides with TWO new quilt patterns! I have three special projects to share, created with the new Elise Fabric Collection designed by Terri Henson for Poppie Cotton. I was super excited to put on my quilt designer hat and work with these charming prints. This brand new collection (shipping to quilt shops in June) has lovely rose, daisy, and trellis motifs, and a gorgeous quilted-look multi print...all done in a lovely color palette of reds, pinks, blues and whites. Let's take a close-up look at my projects...

For my first project, I created "Rosebud Manor" and you can find this NEW quilt pattern in my Etsy Shop in digital and/or paper format! This small quilt is perfect as a wall hanging or table topper. It measures 28.5" x 28.5" and uses foundation piecing for the Economy Quilt Blocks and machine appliqué for the "manor" in the center. I added some rick rack and a tiny button for embellishment.  Visit my blog again later today or tomorrow, when I will share more details.

Next, I created a "Pretty Patchwork Pouch" that shows off the Quilted Roses Multi print. It is a very sweet size, measuring 8” x 5.5”. I quilted over the lines on the fabric print to give it a pieced look. It is lined with Country Confetti, and I added a “handmade” wooden button and special red zipper pull. No pattern for this little zippered bag, I just made it up as I went along...

Finally, I created a "Sweet Sewing Book" (you may remember this project from the Wildwood Dwellings Fabric Tour). This project was so well received, I decided to write a pattern for it! You can now find the pattern from my "Sweet Sewing Book" in my Etsy Shop (paper pattern and/or digital pattern).  It measures 8.5” x 6.5” when closed. It has an elastic and button closure (I used a vintage rose button for this one!), with five pockets inside and Benzie Design wool blend felt needle pages (color is Icicle). I used hand-dyed twill tape (scissor tie) from Lady Dot Creates to add a special touch. I also added fussy cut/appliquéd fabric accents. The binding is Country Confetti (also from Poppie Cotton). More on this NEW pattern and additional photos will be posted later today or tomorrow.
