GIVEAWAY CLOSED
Last weekend I had a play date with myself in my sewing room. I pulled out my stash of Lella Boutique fabrics and admired some of my favorite prints. I rifled through my pattern basket for project ideas. I didn’t have a plan, but I felt compelled to create. For me that is the true joy of sewing. Turning myself over to the process, letting the outside world fall away, becoming happily focused on something basic and beautiful.
Last weekend I had a play date with myself in my sewing room. I pulled out my stash of Lella Boutique fabrics and admired some of my favorite prints. I rifled through my pattern basket for project ideas. I didn’t have a plan, but I felt compelled to create. For me that is the true joy of sewing. Turning myself over to the process, letting the outside world fall away, becoming happily focused on something basic and beautiful.
So today I\’m sharing a little peek at what I was up to. Mostly I just cut some fabric and made a few test blocks, but it was a happy time in the sewing room! I settled in on the following fabrics, all from Moda, for my next project:
- Six prints from Harvest Road (Lella Boutique)
- Two prints from Farmer’s Daughter (Lella Boutique): the taupe gingham and the cream text print
- One print from Sweet Tea (Sweetwater): the navy text print
- Indigo Chambray (Moda 12051 13) which will likely be my background fabric
While making some simple hourglass blocks, I was delighted to see where the “love” showed up ~ all on its own without me forcing it to happen. I guess there are life lessons in sewing!

I’ve been doing a bit of simple sewing myself lately using Harvest Road. It’s the basis for our new color palette on our bedroom and I adore how the blues and greens look against a gray background. I love Lella Boutique lines. Eamylove@aol.com

Love Harvest Road! Have a fat quarter bundle I haven’t jumped into yet. I think Bloomington is beautiful, too! Started quilting late in life, but I’m loving it!! wendlmyers5@gmail.com
I love how you come up with your fabrics. I am originally a wood worker – been self teaching to sew for the last few years. I think my biggest problem is over thinking fabric combinations. I have a lot to learn on that. Watching and reading your's as well as others blogs – am learning a lot – just have to get the confidence in putting it all together. Thanks for sharing your work. deanbren87@gmail.com

I love your fabric choices, especially with the added Chambray: I've just been browsing those in some of the Etsy shops. Think I'll go to Lou Lou's and see if she carries any. 🙂 Can't wait to see your blocks. Hugs, H
I have been admiring the Bloomington collection for a Fig Tree Quilt Pattern that I have. The colors are exactly what I need for a quilt for my guest bedroom. Thank you for introducing me to Lou Lou's. I'm excited to explore and dream of future quilts.
I am so looking forward to what you do with this new collection. I am a big fan of your patterns and the fabric collections by Lella Boutique are some of my favorites and I have used them in many of my quilts. I think this is a perfect match of two very talented creators. barb.yoder@gmail.com
I just finished a table runner today with leftover Farmer’s Daughter (Lella Boutique) fabric! She has some great designs and collections! Would love to sew with more of her fabrics!yoyopattycakes at hotmail dot com

Your fabric choices are always spot on. Can't wait to see your newest quilty creation. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love picking out fabric. It's the pattern and idea that always confuse me! So many ideas it's always hard to choose. I would never had thought to use the denim looking fabric as a background but it sure looks beautiful with it! Love a script fabric. You always inspire me and I always go back and look at your quilts for inspiration. Love your patterns! cas2156@aol.com
