One of my favorite things about sewing is mixing and matching the fabrics. I just love it. So when I was designing architextures, I really wanted fabrics that could be used with all kinds of other stuff. And now that I have them, I’m very excited to start mixing them up with others, especially my newest acquisition–lucky penny.

I could do this all day.
Just a little over a year ago was when I first met Alison Glass. We were both at Quilt Market in Houston for the first time and showing off our stuff. And now, a year later, I’m thrilled to see her first fabric line, Lucky Penny, with Andover Fabrics. The collection is totally rich and beautiful, and I can’t wait to start sewing with it.
Here’s a shot of one of quilts in the Andover booth. I’m totally making some clothes with that big print in the border.
And then a very special surprise was seeing how she incorporated some of my stamped fabric into another one of her quilts! See if you can spot my cameo.
Here’s a better picture of her and her quilt in my booth. The quilting was stunning.
And the binding on this quilt is just about the softest thing ever. She used some chartreuse silk radiance from Robert Kaufman–such a good idea.
Congrats, Alison on your fabulous new line! I’m so happy to finally have some.
I do love local.
And of all the promotional holidays we have going on right now, this is one that I’m happy to partake of.
My mom, sister, and I will be venturing off to our local, independent kitchen shop, which is always a great time. And I think we’ll also be able to catch the Lake Wales Farmers’ Market, which means a visit to my favorite–the Guacamole Guy.
Yummy.

Here are some other great places to shop.
