I have been cutting and packing fabrics ready for Festival of Quilts, which opens on Thursday, mainly the Japanese cottons - stencilled yukata, striped cotton tsumugi and various woven and printed vintage cottons, including tanzen cotton (for padded winter kimono). There are two large parcels of fabric still on their way! It looks like I might be unpacking these at the show on Thursday, if we can get them redirected, as it is almost certain they won't arrive up here before I leave. The lovely book pattern yukata fabric above is in one of those parcels...
..... so is this one, with fan papers against willow branches....
.... and this fantastic design of noshi ribbon bundles. All three of these are yukata cottons, with approx. 1 metre repeats. These large scale designs make wonderful wallhanging panels - just add a border and start quilting/embellishing!
These are some of the new fabrics that HAVE already arrived, so they will be in the van later. All silks, apart from the blue yukata cotton with the chain pattern (these are fantastic for fussy cut sashing) and the retro wool green geometric design. See us on stand C43 at Festival of Quilts for much, much more! We have fat quarters this year too...
