Bonjour, Mon Ami!

(Or, in English, “Hello, my friend!”)  Inspired by all things French…

See more detail here.  I took the blues and greens from Bella and added a pop of red!

What is your favorite print?  Today mine is the brown one on top – it is called Grand Dame!  But really it is the juxtaposition of all the prints that I like best.  (There are two prints that aren’t shown – in light aqua and cream.)

Shipping in April – if you like it please ask your local shop to order it from Blend Fabrics!

I CAN’T WAIT to sew with this collection!

Happy sewing!
Amanda

P.S.  The winner of the Dresden Giveaway is Crazy Amy – congratulations and thanks so all who entered!

The Sew We Quilt Dresden Blog Hop

Posted on — 117 Comments

It is time to share what I have been working on in the Sew We Quilt Dresden Blog Hop!


I couldn’t wait to make a runner out of some Dresden’s out of my the Seaglass color story from my Bella Collection for Blend Fabrics!  I hadn’t tried Dresdens in just the aquas and greens in this collection yet…

Whiel rumaging through my rulers I found some Laundry Basket Dresden Templates that inspired the star inserts – I highly recommend them.  They were such fun to play with and I liked the crisp white triangles against the soft prints.

The backgrounds are Patrick Lose prints.  I saved the emerald green Bella print for the border for higher contrast.

Visit all the other blogger’s sites to see the pretty Dresdens they have posted!  There is such a wide variety!
