Happy Friday!  I'm cutting it close but I'm squeezing in a Christmas in July version of Friday Fabric Refresh on the last Friday of the month.  There are always lots of new Christmas fabrics arriving in quilt shops this time of year.  I decided to choose three collections in three different styles and share some refreshed quilts in each.  

Christmas in the City is a modern line from Art Gallery Fabrics that is currently shipping to shops.  Christmas Stitched is a traditional collection from Fig Tree for Moda Fabrics should also be arriving soon.  And finally, Pixie Noel 2 by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake Designs, which is available now, sort of falls in between modern and traditional.  There might be a name for that particular style, but I'm not sure what it is.  If you know, please let me know in the comments!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Stitched by Fig Tree

Happy Friday!  I’m back today with another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh, where I refresh some of my quilt patterns in new, fresh fabric!  Lately, I’ve been featuring a lot of what I think would be considered more “modern” fabric collections from Ruby Star Society and Art Gallery Fabrics.  While I definitely feel like my fabric style has evolved a little over the last few years, I still really love the more traditional styles like Fig Tree from Moda Fabrics.  Joanna of Fig Tree has captured that classic Fig Tree feel with her latest collection, Stitched.

This collection is so pretty and is perfect is you’re looking to make a cheery quilt.  The first quilt that I have refreshed is Stay Square.  This is a fast and fun layer cake quilt that really lets the fabric shine!  For the accent, I used one of the Bella Solids that coordinates with Stitched called Latte (Bella 9900-245).

Happy Fri....Wednesday??  I know, I know, I call these posts "Friday Fabric Refresh" but I just couldn't wait until Friday this time! I have a fun surprise at the end of this post so make sure to read all the way to the end!

Are you a fan of the Moda Bake Shop?  If so, you will love the newest Moda Bake Shop book, Did Someone Say Cake which was released earlier this year.  If you have not checked it out yet, you need to!  It features 12 quilts made with layer cakes which are precut 10" squares.

I have a quilt in the book called Spice Cake, which you can see below.   

Friday Fabric Refresh - A Charmed Life

Happy Friday!  It's another month and another quilt featured in a magazine!  Don't get used to that though!  This latest quilt is the last magazine quilt in the pipeline (for now, hopefully).  It's just coincidence that I have had quilts in magazines released in April (Lake Life), May (Calm & Collected), and now June!  

The August 2021 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting goes on sale today and I have a really fun charm pack quilt in this issue.  It is called A Charmed Life and uses three charm packs plus background.  I love that I could make a large throw quilt (76"x76") with just three charm packs!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Calm & Collected

Happy Friday!  This week I am featuring a new quilt design for Friday Fabric Refresh.  It's called Calm & Collected and is in the Summer 2021 issue of Quilts & More magazine that goes on sale today!

I used Flowers for Freya by Linzee Kull McCray for Moda Fabrics.  This fabric recently started showing up in shops so it's perfect timing!

Below is the cover of this issue so you'll know what to look for!

When preparing a quilt design for submission to a magazine, I often try out a lot of fabric collections before deciding which ones to suggest.  Many of the ones I tried for this quilt have either recently arrived in shops or are scheduled to arrive very soon so I thought I'd share them for Friday Fabric Refresh!
 

Friday Fabric Refresh - Tile Time

Hello and happy Friday!  The newest issue of American Patchwork & Quilting should be on newsstands today and I have a quilt in the issue!  You can see my quilt, Tile Time below.  To celebrate, I am featuring Tile Time for today's Friday Fabric Refresh!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Sugar Twist

Happy Friday!  Earlier this week, I shared the pillow I made using the block from my Sugar Twist quilt that is in the Best of Moda Bake Shop book.  I decided that would make this week the perfect opportunity to feature Sugar Twist for Friday Fabric Refresh!

 

The original quilt from the book is shown above and features Sugarcreek by Corey Yoder.  Corey always has gorgeous fabric, but of course it's always fun to see how quilts look in other fabrics!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Honey Squares

Happy Friday!  I released a new pattern this week called Honey Squares.  If you missed my blog post about this quilt, you can check that out here.  It will be the perfect quilt to feature for this week's addition to my Friday Fabric Refresh series!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Blue Hues

Hello!  Any Friday is a great day, but today is extra exciting for me.  The October issue of American Patchwork and Quilting hits newsstands today and my Blue Hues quilt is included!  The magazine version is shown below, and of course I had to feature this quilt for this week's edition of Friday Fabric Refresh!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Christmas in July

Hello!  This is the time of year that the new Christmas fabric collections tend to be released.  July is also in full swing, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to do a Christmas in July edition of Friday Fabric Refresh!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Scrappy Herringbone

Happy Friday!  For this edition of Friday Fabric Refresh, I am featuring my latest pattern Scrappy Herringbone.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Easy Argyle

Hello!  Another week is behind us and it's time for another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh!  This week I am featuring my Easy Argyle pattern, which I released a few weeks ago. 

The original quilt is shown above in All Hallows' Eve by Fig Tree for Moda Fabrics.  Unlike most of my patterns, this quilt does not use precuts and features only two main fabrics.  This gives you lots of options and today I am sharing some other ideas to give you inspiration for your own Easy Argyle quilt!

Fabric Friday Refresh - All Hallows' Eve

Hello!  If you saw my last three pattern releases, you know I really like the All Hallows' Eve collection by Fig Tree.  I must not be the only one because this collection sold out in the blink of an eye last summer.  It was so popular, that Moda decided to reprint it again this summer! 

The reprint is starting to show up in quilt shops so I thought I would dedicate this week's Friday Fabric Refresh to All Hallows' Eve!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Spellbound

Hello!  Can you believe it's Friday again already?  If you're in the US, you know that Monday is Memorial Day and I am really looking forward to the long weekend!

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I released new patterns this week.  One of them was Spellbound, so I thought I would dedicate this week's refresh to that pattern. 

New Pattern - Treasure Hunt

Happy Monday!  Usually, Monday is not one of my favorite days of the week.  However, today I'm super excited because it's pattern release day!  My latest pattern, Treasure Hunt, is now available in my Etsy shop!

Friday Fabric Refresh

Hello!  Today I am introducing a new recurring blog post called Friday Fabric Refresh!  These posts will be all about showcasing my patterns, but refreshed with new fabrics!
