First the dots, these are the new Ombre Dots by Riley Blake and they are just gorgeous. Ombre seems to be trending right now, but I would have gone for these anyway, because they're dots! Speaking of Ombre I can't wait until those ombre solids come out later this year. I got my dots from Selvage123 on Etsy. They also have the new chevrons, which I have so far managed to resist.
And then there's the new DS Quilts (almost)fat quarter fabrics. These are sold in 1yd packages and each contains 4 different prints. So far there are 4 different packages for a total of 16 new prints!
I think the idea is great if you're like me and mosty buy fat quarters. But if you like a bit of yardage, or really love a print and want more, then you're kind of out of luck. The only other minor gripe is that they don't measure a full 18 x 22, but the DS yardage of late wasn't quite stretching to two 18 x 22 pieces in one half yard either, more like 18 x 21.
I also picked up a few patterns that were on sale for only $1 each. Two of them are from Denyse Schmidt.
I'll be back tomorrow with a bag that I made from a different one of my $1 pattern purchases.>
I'm loving the DS in its new color ways! And what great patterns! $1!!! That is a bargain! Happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteLove love love those Ombre dots! They are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you scored some great bargains!!
I know who has $1 patterns! I saw that Joann was releasing those new colourway packs and I was slightly envious. I wonder why the FQs are coming in short? Here they measure 20"x22" because we cut at 50cm. So yes US FQs are like shrinkies to us.
