A Closer Look

I’ve been meaning to post scans of the Swiss Chocolate fabrics so that you could have a closer look.

I can’t wait to see what you all make with Swiss Chocolate!

Speaking of making things, now that Ambrosia is shipping I would love to see what you all choose to create with my fabric. I’m always amazed at what sewers come up with. I’ve set up an Ambrosia Flickr group. Please head on over and upload your creations!

To Market, to Market, to buy… Swiss Chocolate!

I fedexed a box of goodies to Robert Kaufman this afternoon. Unlike some of the other things I have been working on, these I can show right away! Late last night I finished sewing on the hanging sleeve for my Swiss Chocolate complimentary quilt design for Robert Kaufman…

Quilted by Kay Giese, it uses a ten square and roll-up. Directions will be available here or at your local shop when the fabric ships in February 2010.

And because I am a design geek, I have to include this photo – I love how the light through the porch rails interacted with th fabrics…

I also made up some Yo-Yo Pillows in Chocolate and Mocha. (Thank you. yo-yo slave, for the forty yo-yos.)

It’s a free pattern that works great with fabric scraps. Enjoy!

Have a lovely week!
Amanda

I’d love to show you more but…

I can’t. We’ll just have to wait until spring.

I am making friends with my local fedex store.

I’m very excited because today I am cutting into my blue and tan “Mocha” color story today for another quilt. What fun! Don’t you love seeing how fabrics come together in unexpected ways?

These photo albums are for display at Quilt Market. You can find the free pattern here.

And I have a quilt for Robert Kaufman at Market sitting on my floor looking mournfully up at me in its unbound state. It uses a Swiss Chocolate ten square and roll-up and you will be able to download the pattern here or get it at your local shop. I will post pictures next week. See you then and have a great weekend!
