Hope that 2012 has started well for you. I can't believe it is already February!
I am so excited by my newest fabric group "Tend the Earth," available
in stores this month!
It is filled with the things that I love; bluebirds, butterflies, dragonflies, hummingbirds and flowers.
The colors are beautiful....reminding me of spring, which is just around the corner!
Last spring, when I was painting this group, I took a walk to find
color inspiration. New grass was just starting to
pop through the ground and crocuses were just beginning to peak out!
Thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of my color ideas
and the resulting wonderful fabric colors.
I love the green...it reminds me of the newest spring
grass that was brave enough to
emerge at the beginning of spring.
Soft purples were inspired by that first glimpse of crocuses,
peaking through, letting us know that winter is almost
over.
The blue and white were inspired by other gardening items that I saw on my
walk......
"Tend the Earth" also has a lovely panel, with 6 blocks filled with
some of my favorite painting of nature!
Barb, from "Coach House Designs" has created 2 beautiful patterns using
the group. Be sure to stop by coachhousedesigns and see what this creative
seamstress has come up with.
Beautiful!
Would you like to win some of "Tend the Earth?"
Moda sent me a huge box of cuttings from
this brand new group and I
would love to share it with you.
The cuttings are all different sizes....mostly strips less than
a couple inches wide. I'm sure you creative
quilters can come up with wonderful ideas!
So......
Leave a comment between now and 10:00pm Monday, February 7th
and I will use random.org to choose 3 winners
of boxes filled with "Tend the Earth" cuttings like the one above!
Legacy Publishing has also created a beautiful, nature filled
2013 calendar using all of the paintings in the panel, as well
as 6 others.
It is called "In My Garden" and will be in stores this summer and fall.
Good Luck Dear Friends!
Always,
Deb

Those fabrics are just beautiful! We haven't had much snow here this winter, just lots of grey, rainy days. I'm ready for either a big snow storm or maybe just skip winter and head right into spring. Your fabrics would bring some spring cheer no matter what the weather outside!
ReplyDeleteThe colors and patterns look lovely! I'm already searching for a store to pre-order from. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThose purples caught my eye right away. Spring will be here before we know it! Thanks for the chance to enter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection. It's been so warm in Chicago that it feels like spring already...however.

Tend the Earth is something we should all do. Your fabric captures the spirit well. I'd love some scraps. Kathie L in Allentown
