I'm sure you've heard of Christmas in July, but what about Halloween in April? That might not be a thing but a super fun Halloween collection has just started arriving in quilt shops and I think it's going to be a really popular one! I was excited for Lella Boutique's Hey Boo collection for Moda Fabrics from the moment it was first debuted several months ago. It's finally here and if you like it as much as I do, make sure you run to your favorite quilt shop and grab some because I'm pretty sure it won't be around for long!

If you love this fabric, but need some ideas for what to make with it, I've got you covered! Keep reading to check out some of my quilt patterns that I've refreshed with Hey Boo!

Fabric Refresh - Meadow Star by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society

Wow! Where did the past month go? Actually, I know where it went. My day job has been keeping me BUSY! I refreshed some of my quilt patterns in the new Meadow Star collection by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society a couple of weeks ago and haven't had a chance to get the blog post written. 

This collection seems to be popular so I definitely wanted to get these mockups shared before the fabric gets hard to find, in case you want to recreate one yourself!

Let's jump right in! The first pattern that I refreshed in Meadow Star is Window Box, a jelly roll friendly pattern that is quick to put together thanks to strip-piecing.

Fabric Refresh - Jelly Roll Day 2023

It's that time again! The annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is tomorrow, Saturday September 16th! You can read more about Jelly Roll Day HERE, but basically it's a day created by Moda Fabrics to celebrate all of those wonderful jelly roll patterns and spend the day sewing with your favorite 2.5" strips. 

If you're ready to sew but still need a pattern to use, I've got you covered! This is the fourth year in a row that I've released a jelly roll pattern right before Jelly Roll Day and I'm hoping it's a tradition I can keep up. 

I'm sharing a special jelly roll themed Fabric Refresh post today. I've picked three recent Moda Fabrics collections (one is Ruby Star Society, which is owned by Moda) and have refreshed each of my previous Jelly Roll Day releases (plus a few others) in each of those three fabric lines! There's even a free pattern included, so make sure you scroll all the way to the end of this post!

If you're looking for refreshed versions of my latest pattern, Wayward, you can find those in a separate post HERE.

The first pattern that I'm featuring today is Ophelia, which was my 2022 jelly roll pattern. I still sometimes can't believe how just the right combination of block, sashing, and cornerstone arrangement can take a very simple, not-very-exciting quilt block and turn it into an amazing design! (If I do say so myself, ha!)

The first Ophelia quilt that I'm sharing is in Sherri and Chelsi's latest collection, Bountiful Blooms. This quilt always looks a bit like flowers to me so this collection full of flower prints is perfect! I even went with a yellow print for the cornerstones to imitate flower centers.

Fabric Refresh - Wintertale by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics

So Christmas is only about five months away. I know, I know. Don't blame the messenger! If you haven't started your Christmas sewing yet, now is the time! It's also convenient that this is the time of year that the Christmas fabric collections are showing up in quilt shops. One of my favorite holiday collections this year is Wintertale by Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics so of course I had to refresh some of my patterns with it!

I actually saw this collection for the first time months ago and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it. I think it had a lot to do with the white print with the little stars sprinkled on it. I knew it would make the perfect background fabric! I don't think I'm the only one to think so. It's the only print out of stock right now on Fat Quarter Shop as well as on Art Gallery Fabric's website for wholesale orders. At the time I'm writing this, there are a few listings for that print on Etsy (other prints come up at the link too, so you may have to scroll for them).

All of the mockups that I'm sharing today use that star print for the background, but if you're not able to find it, a solid white or another small scale print like a dot would still look great!

The first quilt I'm sharing today is Ophelia. While this pattern is jelly roll friendly, you'll want to use the fat quarter option in the pattern if you want to make a Wintertale version since Art Gallery Fabrics does not offer precut strips (as far as I know). Grab a fat quarter bundle, pick 12 of your favorite prints that contrast well with your background and you're good to go! Don't forget to grab an extra quarter yard for the cornerstones. I used the light blue print for mine. You could also use a leftover fat quarter from your bundle.

Fabric Refresh - Sunnyside by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics

It's Day 3 of Fabric Refresh Week and I can hardly believe it's halfway over already! So far we've been inspired by Tula Pink's Everglow and AGF Studio's Spooky 'n Witchy. Have you been remembering to use the coupon codes to save on the featured patterns each day? They're only good for a couple of days so if you missed out on the first two, make sure to keep reading so that you don't miss today's code!

Today I'm featuring a collection with a much more traditional feel to it. You might know Camille Roskelley as one half of the mother-daughter team behind the super popular Bonnie and Camille fabrics from Moda Fabrics. Since Bonnie has retired, Camille has been continuing on her own and I fell in love with her Sunnyside collection as soon as she first debuted it (it was the burgundy prints that got me!) and then had to wait months for it be available!

Well, it's finally here and I already grabbed some for a couple of future pattern samples. You'll have to wait a while to see those but you should grab some Sunnyside fabric now and if you need some ideas of what to make with it, this is the blog post for you!

The first pattern that I refreshed in Sunnyside was Americana. I love star quilts and while the pattern was named for the reds and blues used in the original cover quilt, this pattern looks great in a variety of fabrics and I love it in Sunnyside. These colors together make me think of a beautiful garden. This pattern uses 18 fat quarters so you can pick a wide variety of colors and prints to make a very colorful and scrappy-looking quilt.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Gayle Loraine by Elizabeth Chappell for Art Gallery Fabrics

Happy Friday! I have some brand new mock-ups to share today for a new Friday Fabric Refresh post.  Elizabeth Chappell of Quilters Candy recently released her very first fabric collection with Art Gallery Fabrics called Gayle Loraine.  This collection is named after her mother and it is so pretty!  I love the soft colors with the little bit of navy to accent it all.  I have some of this fabric that I plan to use for a future pattern (that hopefully won't take a year to get ready!) but in the meantime I have had a really fun time refreshing some of my existing patterns with this fabric.  Let's jump right in!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Slow Stroll by Fancy That Design House for Moda Fabrics

Hello!  Can you believe it's November already?!  Fall is in full swing, although I wouldn't necessarily know it living in the south!  A blog reader recently commented with a request to see some patterns refreshed in Slow Stroll, the newest collection from Fancy That Design House for Moda Fabrics.  These fabrics have a definite fall feel to them so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to showcase this collection.  Let's jump right in!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Christmas in July from Modern to Traditional

Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  I may receive a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you click a link and make a purchase.

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 - Ghost Town by Dana Willard for Figo Fabrics

Happy Friday!  There are only 107 days until Halloween so it's time to start working on those spooky projects!  Luckily, the Halloween fabric collections are showing up in quilt shops.  One of my favorite new collections is Ghost Town by Dana Willard for Figo Fabrics.  Adorable cats, cute ghosts, colorful bats, and some great blenders make up this collection.  

If you have been to my blog before, you probably know how this works.  I used my Electric Quilt 8 software to refresh some of my patterns with Ghost Town fabric.  I could never make all of the quilts that I want to make, so sometimes I have to settle for making digital quilts!  I'm sharing them here in case you do have time and want to make one of my patterns in Ghost Town while seeing how it will look before you start.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Daybreak by Fran Gulick for Riley Blake Designs

 Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase.

Happy Friday!  Are you ready for another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh?  If you’re new around here, FFR is where I refresh some of my patterns in new fabric so you can see what they would look like.  Sometimes it’s hard to imagine what a quilt will look like in fabric that is different than the pattern cover.  Since a lot of fabric becomes hard to find after a little while and designers can’t constantly update our pattern covers, my hope is that seeing some of my quilts in new fabric will help you envision your project and feel more confident about your fabric choices.

Sometimes I feature a specific quilt pattern but more often I feature a recent fabric collection that I love!  Today that collection is Daybreak from RileyBlake Designs.  This is the debut collection by Fran Gulick of Cotton & Joy and she has knocked it out of the park!  I love the colors, I love the prints.  I’m currently working on a quilt using Daybreak but I probably won’t be able to share that for a while.  In the meantime, I’m sharing a few of my current patterns that I’ve refreshed in Daybreak.  Let’s get started!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Shine On by Sharon Holland for Art Gallery Fabrics

Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase. 

Happy Friday!  I recently bought a fat quarter bundle of Shine On by Sharon Holland for Art Gallery Fabrics.  I was planning to make a sample of a future pattern that I'm working on, but once I had the fabrics in my hands, I changed my mind and am going to make a different future pattern instead.  The fabrics are so pretty that I would love to buy more and make multiple quilts!  I already have too much fabric and not enough time, so I'm trying really hard to resist!  

Luckily, with my Electric Quilt 8 software, I can do the next best thing and "make" as many quilts as I want by creating mockups using Shine On digital fabric swatches!  I refreshed a few of my quilt patterns and I'm sharing them here today.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Spooky 'n Sweeter by Art Gallery Fabrics

Happy Friday and Happy (almost) Halloween!  I'll admit that I have a strange relationship with Halloween.  I don't like Halloween parties or dressing up, but I love Halloween fabric and quilts! 

One of my favorite Halloween collections this year is Spooky 'n Sweeter by Art Gallery Fabrics.  I decided to feature this fabric for a Halloween edition of Friday Fabric Refresh.  Let's get started!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Cozy Up

Happy Friday!  Have you seen the Cozy Up collection by Corey Yoder?  If you love fall, you will absolutely fall in love with this fabric!  Cozy Up began showing up in shops in the past week but I have a feeling it will go fast!  Don't wait if you want to get your hands on some.  

This week I am refreshing some of my patters in Cozy Up and I can't wait to show you!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Strawberry Honey

Happy Friday!  Another Friday means another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh!  Have you seen the Strawberry Honey collection from Gracey Larson for Riley Blake Designs?  It is so bright and cheery!  There are pretty florals, cute strawberries, and adorable bears.  

I've been buying way too much fabric lately, but I gave in and got a fat quarter bundle.  I haven't decided for sure what I want to make yet, but I'm leaning towards remaking my Starry Skies pattern, shown below.  

Friday Fabric Refresh - Shine On

Hello and happy Friday!  For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had an enjoyable and safe holiday yesterday.  If you're lucky enough to have today off from work, I hope you get to spend some time sewing!  

Bonnie and Camille's newest collection, Shine On recently arrived in quilt shops and maybe you're looking for ideas for what to sew with it.  Well, you're in luck!  For today's Friday Fabric Refresh, I am sharing some of my patterns refreshed in Shine On.  

Friday Fabric Refresh - Jelly Roll Quilts

Hello, and happy Friday!  We are just 8 days away from the annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day!  This year's celebration is happening Saturday, September 19, 2020.  If you're planning on sewing a jelly roll project that day, but don't know what you want to make, this week's Friday Fabric Refresh might be able to help! 

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 - Sugarcreek

Hello and happy Friday!  I'm back with another Friday Fabric Refresh!  An Instagram follower asked to see my Window Box pattern in Sugarcreek, so I had to oblige!

I love the Sugarcreek collection, so I decided to devote the entire post to this gorgeous fabric line by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics and share several other patterns in the fabric as well.  Let's jump right in!

First up, of course, is Window Box.  Thanks for the suggestion, Jeri!  Now I want to scour the internet for a Sugarcreek jelly roll!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Window Box

Happy Friday!  For today's Friday Fabric Refresh, I decided to feature Window Box, which is one of my older patterns.  Other than my pumpkin quilt, Window Box is my best selling pattern.  I can see why; this is a fast, fun, and simple jelly roll quilt that looks great in a variety of fabrics!
