One of my favorites, the stunning prints in Petal & Plume by Bari J. are bright, beautiful and perfect for new bedding or a few new wardrobe staples to start on for Spring! Make fast & flirty skirts to pair with neutral tops!

If your tastes run a little more natural, try Wild & Free Limited Edition prints by Maureen Cracknell. These repeats would be amazing for free spirited tunics, maxi skirts or breezy tops to pair with denim button ups or classic blue jeans & boots for a boho look that's all your own!

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Coral & Navy is a major color combo winner in my opinion and it's totally on trend this year! Pair an easy top made with one of these prints from RECollection by Katarina Roccella with some crisp white skinnies for a perfectly preppy outfit! Or create throw pillows and sheets to add some pop to your white linens!

Live Creatively! New Fabrics for Home & Fashion from Art Gallery!

 

 

I don't know about you, but to me the transition from Summer to Fall has me feeling especially creative and the inspiring minds at Art Gallery are helping give me even more wonderful ideas for a new feel this upcoming season!

 

Chérie by Frances Newcombe is a romantic fabric collection reflecting the lifestyle of a young, beautiful jetsetter who lives in a loft apartment in an urban setting but who loves botanicals, art and traveling! Who can't relate to craving a life like that? Well you can create the feeling exactly where you are by getting these fun fabrics in your life!

 

 

 

 

Create a fun and simple patchwork quilt with these lovely prints to begin to totally transform your bedroom! Create a duvet cover instead of a full quilt and make this room redo a weekend project. Add a new throw pillow to your chair or bed, easy curtains and cover the lampshade of that awesome mid century lamp you thrifted with your favorite fabric from the collection for a personal twist on a trendy look!

 

 

 

Love this Belles Parisiennes print for a table cloth, a shower curtain or even a mod dress! Make some quick art for your studio or guest room by framing a piece of this fabric. It would look awesome in a black, white, silver or gold frame! Use a frame you have and some spray paint if you want to get fancy...let's face it, this would look fantastic framed in metallic gold!

 

 

 

 

Capture the first sightings of a butterfly each spring, and wake up to the birds chirping outside your window. Winged by Bonnie Christine represents a season’s fresh beginnings and the dawn of a new day to spread your wings and let your imagination fly free!

 

 

 

 

Colors and motifs for dreamy & creative living! These textiles are feminine and free spirited so they'll make incredible clothes or home accessories for the young artist in your home! Make a painter's smock, a portfolio to store her projects, or a whole fort that she can keep up in her room full time to make things in!

 

 

 

 

Need to add some color to your stash? Nature Elements is a line of blenders with movement and shade variation that will add loads of interest and color where you need it! And Oval Elements is the perfect tonal for modern projects with its geometric motif. Use them to create fashion basics like button up shirts or A-line skirts in your favorite colors for handmade pieces that you won't be able to stop wearing!

Quilt As You Go with Pat Bravo!!

 

It's Wednesday! And what better way to get us all over the hump than with a FREE PROJECT! Anytime I'm feeling a little lax in the inspiration department, I head over to Pat Bravo's blog! Her world is just filled with color and fresh ideas all the time and I just so happened to stumble upon this super cool, super perfect for Summer quilt-as-you-go color block table runner! In this project, Pat shows you how to attach blocks together that you have already quilted individually!

 

what you'll need:

• Ten (10) 9¼" x 9¼" quilted blocks (Shop Moda's Bella Solids or Michael Miller's Cotton Couture for beautiful shades of solids!)
• One (1) 1¼" x WOF strip of choice of fabric
• Four (4) 1¼" x 19½" strip of same fabric chosen
• For Binding: Three (3) 1½" x WOF strips of fabric chosen



 

 

This is such a fun idea because you use up scraps of batting that you would never utilize trying to use on a whole quilt at one time! And you can have some fun with your quilting like she did with those fun decorative stitches!

 

 

 

Once you have all blocks finished, time to lay them out and see how you like them! Seriously this can drive you crazy, but try and let it be the fun part! Mixing so many solid colors together you can honestly do no wrong, so trust your gut and GO FOR IT!

 

 

 

 

You can get Pat's full instructions over on her blog, Soulful Eyes! She also has linked to her binding tutorial so you can be guided step by step through creating the whole thing if this is a new type of project for you!

 

 

 

 

So where do you find inspiration? Link your favorite projects or resources! We'd love to check them out!! And don't forget to follow us on Twitter! We're getting a bit more active on there so pop in, follow us and see what's new with The Cabbage Rose!

 

 

Happy Creating!!

Turn your Fab, Fat Quarters into a Sweet Apron!!

 

 

Aprons are one of those things...they just never seem like a bad idea! And when you can create a snappy looking REVERSIBLE beauty like this Jeni Reversible Apron with just a few Fat Quarters, well I can't say making an apron has ever been a BETTER idea!

 

 

A FABULOUS go-to project for gifts, home warming presents or for Christmas time! Give an amazing cook book to your favorite chef with this darling ditty and you'll be on their good list for life! Get crazy and make a whole Baking themed basket, complete with a new pair of mixing spoons (find some reasonable wooden ones and make them match the new apron with a little Mod Podge!

 

Such a cute and simple style but with those little details, it really sings! And when you're only using Fat Quarters, this is a great project to throw together whenever you need an awesome gift! DOWNLOAD THE FULL TUTORIAL HERE!!

 

 You've got to LOVE these Fat Quarter Gang projects from the fab folks over at Art Gallery Fabrics! Almost ALL of us have a more Fat Quarters than we know what to do with and their inspiring ideas are totally things we'd actually use, wear, gift or put in our homes! So next time you're at the Cabbage Rose and you're eyeing a new collection, just grab some Fat Quarters! There's SO many things you can do with these perfectly sized fabric pieces!!

Create a Giant Star Quilt from Fat Quarters!!

The design minds over at Art Gallery Fabrics are always so inspirational! I've always been fond of the awesome Fat Quarter Gang projects their arsenal of designers keeps coming up with but after reading through this tutorial, found this amazing quilt by Jeni Baker really caught my eye! A simple star made even easier by the size of the blocks used, this quilt can come together in an afternoon! AND there are lots of different options for choosing fabrics, Jeni made some super cool graphics so you can visualize how the color choices look! 

 

 

 

Great for using a whole collection or mixing tons of crazy and bold prints for a super bohemian look! Keep the background fabric a small scale print or a solid to really make that star POP!

 

 

 

I feel like this is a perfect amount of fabrics to choose for a beginner quilter! Make sure the 4 colors you pick are ones you REALLY love and like shown in the graphic, choose a darker and lighter shade of each color to add more interest!

 

 

 

And here's a fun look for a super modern quilt! I would even love to see this in 4 shades of the same color for a cool tonal effect! A great layout to choose if making a baby blanket as you don't have to choose many fabrics and run the risk of it clashing with the nursery! Stick with Solid colors for a quilt that they can truly grow with!!

We just got in these awesome fabrics from Bari J.'s newest collection Bijoux and I think this quilt would be the perfect project for these pretty prints!! Mix in some solids or small scale prints in coordinating colors and you'll have yourself a beautiful and rich quilt in no time!!

 

 

So come on up to the Cabbage Rose and pick out some fabulous Fat Quarters for your new Giant Star Quilt! We are here to help you with fabric choices and would LOVE to see what you're planning! Come get creative with us!! Happy Sewing!
