Up and Coming: Moda Does it Again!

I was just thumbing... or clicking... around today and I found myself at the Moda website where I inevitably end up checking out their new fabrics.  Here are four that I really fell for that will be coming out in the next several months:
Salt Air:  Check out the fun, bright colors but they still have that soothing feel to them.  Love these!


Oh Deer:  Who doesn't love little woodland critters?  I just love the simple, amazing pattern that these fabrics have.  Love MoMo's designs!

Ladies Stitching Club: Oliver and S does it again!  I can't wait to find these beauties in person!  These would be so beautiful with some easy sewing projects!

And finally, in case you were ready for Christmas again...
Blitzen:  Brought to you by the amazing Basic Grey, these fabrics are sure to be pleasers.  Beautiful!  I could sew lots of stockings with these.

So there you go.  A few lines to look forward to and get you in the mood for sewing!

Up and Coming: Hello Luscious by Basic Grey

Well, hello luscious!  This fabric is amazingly gorgeous!  Hoping to get my hands on this purdy fabric soon.  It's designed by Basic Grey for Moda.  Lovin' the Luscious!!

 

Just think....  you could sew this luscious owl....

 

Or.... this luscious quilt....

Or.... this luscious bag...


The possibilities are luscious.... errrrr.... endless!

Up and Coming: Star Flakes and Glitter from Tina Givens

I received a fun little email about this new line from Tina Givens called Star Flakes and Glitter.  It's an amazing holiday line scheduled for next winter and the reason I love it is that the colors are so unexpected for a Christmas Collection and yet they work!!  I really, really want to see this one in person!

 It's lovely Tina!  Way to go!

Farewell Halloween...Until Next.... April?

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.  I sure had a good time.  I love that my neighbors come trick-or-treating with their kids and they stay and gab for 10 minutes!  What great friends I have!  It was also the most amazing weather ever for Halloween!

But, I have one last Halloween note before we let this holiday go...  I found this over at Tula Pink's blog!

It's a new line, due out in April, called Nightshade.  I have seriously enjoyed this gal's fabric designs and her creativity.  I can't wait to see her quilt samples with this stuff!  I'm sure it will be thrilling!

So goodbye Halloween... until next April!

Up and Coming: Millie's Closet by Riley Blake Designs

Here is a fun one called Millie's Closet by Bee in my Bonnet, for Riley Blake Designs. It's due out in March 2012. (I told you was already pining for Spring!!)

I just love this mix of colors!  It's really fresh and different.  I think my favorite print is the yellow and gray dot, but those dress forms are wonderful too!  Love it!

Up and Coming: Reunion from Moda

I came across a new line from Moda called Reunion.  It's designed by Sweetwater and this is their best release to date, in my opinion.  I love these subtle colors and if you look real close you can see.... that's right..... BUNTING!  Super cute!

Here is a sample that shows the other colorways as well.  So nice!

I can't wait for this one.  It's due out in January.  What do you think?

Up and Coming: Fly a Kite by Riley Blake

LOVE these fabrics by Riley Blake Designs!!   This line is called "Fly a Kite" and it will be out and available in ... a while.  Look at the sweet patterns and colors.  It's got me pining for Spring and we just barely hit Fall!!

Up and Coming: Lark from Amy Butler

Lovin' the bright colors in this eclectic collection of fabrics from Amy Butler called Lark.  Due out this Fall!!!

Isn't this amazing?  I'm always amazed at her ability to take things that don't "match" and make them MATCH!!!  It's amazing!

Up and Coming: A Stitch in Color by Moda

I saw this fun, bright line and I had to pass it along. 

This new called called A Stitch in Color is due out January 2012.  The designer is Malka Dubrawsky and I hadn't heard of her so I did some research and found her cute blog, A Stitch in Dye. 

So, here are the amazing fabrics:

 And here is a beautifil pillow from Makla's blog.  Isn't it amazing!?   Come on January!

Up and Coming: Heather Bailey's Garden District

 I've been watching and waiting for Heather Bailey to release a new fabric line, and it's has finally happened! This one is called Garden District from FreeSpirit. It's soft and feminine and it will come in cotton sateen and canvas. Fancy nightgowns and home decor heaven!! Here are some of the canvas prints.

Lovely, no?

Up and Coming: Echo, by Lotta Jansdotter for Windham

I found this little treasure on the Windham site and had to share.  This sweet new line is called Echo and is designed by Lotta Jansdotter.  It's due out in November. 

I love the mod.retro look and the bold prints.  I feel like I could hang this up on my wall as art!  I can't wait to see this stuff in person!

Up and Coming: Daisy Cottage from Riley Blake Designs

This is due out in October from Riley Blake by Bee in My Bonnet.  It's called Daisy Cottage.  I am in LOVE with the print with the sofa/lamp/chandelier silhouettes.  So much fun!  Try to think what I would sew with these.  What would you do?

New Peeks From Moda

 Moda has released several peeks of thier winter releases. Here they are. Which is your favorite?

 "Half Moon Modern"

 "Domestic Bliss"

"Redwork Renaissance" 

"Urban Cowgirl"

"Chemistry"

I think I might have to get the Half Moon Modern.  It has some wonderful Chevron prints and I am loving those these days.  In fact, you'll see more of that in a pattern coming soon. 

Have You Seen It??? Heirloom by Joel Dewberry

I am so excited about this new line by Joel Dewberry!  I had such a great time with his Aviary 2 line, I couldn't help but squeal (inside my own little head) when I saw his booth at Quilt Market announcing his new line, Heirloom.

Here are some super great photos of thier booth, via Joel and Laurie's blog:

Who wouldn't love this sweet chair re-do in their living room?  I LOVE it! 

I thought their booth had an amazing look to it.  Definitely one of my favorites!

And here it is in the Sapphire Collection.  Yep.  You guessed it.  I ordered the who sha-bang for the Yards and Yards shop.  Arriving later this month.  (Cue the inner squeal.  :)

Heads Up: New Cloud 9 "Across the Pond"

via Cloud 9

I have a confession.  I am not a "green" person.  I try to be environmentally responsible.. you know, don't litter, re-use grocery bags, recycle tree limbs, compost.... we even have chickens!  But I don't own canvas grocery bags and I don't really buy into "global warming."  In a lot of ways I want to rebel against "green" just because it's shoved down my throat.

But I will admit, there are some seriously amazing "green" fabric companies out there.  Cloud 9 is one of them and they have some really pretty lines coming out.  This one is called "Across the Pond" and it's due out in September.  I love the Fall feel and I love these colors.  It comes in other Colorways as well.  So if you're into the organic fabric, this is a great company to look in to!  Keep it up, Cloud 9!!

Up and Coming: Lost and Found by Riley Blake

This line really caught my eye at the Quilt Market.  It is so rich and beautiful.  It is called Lost and Found and it will be hitting shops soon!

Check it out:

 Isn't that nice?

And just for fun, here are a few images from the Riley Blake blog from Market.  They had a super fun booth!

And there you have it.  More dreaming ammunition.  Ha!

Up and Coming: Just Dandy by Josephine Kimberling

I stumbled across this on Josephine's Website right HERE.  I just adore her sense of color and pattern.  It's so eclectic and surprising.  I just might have to add Just Dandy to my little shop.

Here are few close-ups, via Robert Kaufman.

Love it!  Way to go, Josephine!

Up and Coming: Aviary 2 by Joel Dewberry

OK... this is my favorite fabric line so far of 2011! It's called Aviary 2 by Joel Dewberry and I LOVE this! It should be out soon.

I really can't pick a favorite Coloway here, but if I HAD to choose, it would be the orange, brown, blue combo. What is it with me and orange lately?

Oh! But these colors rock my world, too! I might need to re-decorate my girls room!

Anyhow, I love this stuff! I got all the images over at Joel and Laurie's blog, right HERE.

AND.... did you read the blog? Because if you did then you saw this:

"Check back soon for a Sneak Peek of Joel's new "Heirloom" collection, and some patterns we will debut in Salt Lake this May."

A new line by Joel... always a plus! And the bigger plus is.....

I AM GOING TO THE SALT LAKE QUILT MARKET IN MAY!

I am so excited. There are some fun things happening here at Yards and Yards, and you guys will be the first to know. It's going to be fun!

Up and Coming: Bazaar Style by Pat Bravo

As you may have guessed, I love Art Gallery fabrics. Pat Bravo is one talented designer and so naturally, I stalk her blog to look for inspiration and upcoming lines. And happily, I found this new line called Bazaar Style. Not to be confused with Bizarre Style.

I know these images are small, but you can see them better right HERE. You really ought to go check these out. The detail and the texture here is incredible.

Bazaar Style is available in February, so keep me posted if you see any arriving. Can't wait! Thanks Pat, for keeping my stash growing!

Heads Up: Ooops-A-Daisy from Moda

Say hello to Oops-A-Daisy, a new line from Mods. It's not due out until July, but I really love this! I mean little ladybugs!! What's not to love there?

Orange and brown ginghams!!!

And some vintage-looking botanicals that remind me of my grandmother's bed sheets. I love that look!

And of course, this piece, that brings it all together!

You can see it all HERE over at the Moda site.
