UPDATE: The winner of the B&C bundle is #313, dcargill. Congratulations!
Mostly, I’m a quilts-and-bags kind of gal, as you can see from my most recent creations ...
Clockwise from top left: Cargo Duffle Bag, Oh Christmas Tree Mini, Miranda Bag, Orange Peel Pillow |
When I’m not chasing after my boys or sewing my latest project, I’m searching for my phone. If I have my phone in hand, then I’m looking for my slippers. Sigh. Sad, but true.
I’ve recently decided to start hoarding Bonnie and Camille fabric for a future quilt. Why? Moda does not rerun its fabric collections, and more often than not, I find myself missing out on fabulous lines, including those designed by B&C. And before I was a sewer, I was an antiquer, buying and selling post-WWII glass. I have all the antiques I need now, but I miss the hunt and it’s fun to troll off-the-beaten-path quilt shops for overlooked B&C gems.
I’d love someone to join me in this effort (read that as: I want to be your fabric enabler!), so I’m giving away eight fat quarters to jumpstart one lucky reader’s B&C stash. Some of the fat quarters are from Happy Go Lucky, and some are from April Showers. There’s even a fat from Marmalade for good measure.
UPDATE: The giveaway is closed.
I know your reading time is limited, but give From Bolt to Beauty a shot. Both here and on Instagram, it’s all crafts all the time. If after a few weeks, my crafty adventures aren’t your cup of tea, no worries—we’ll part as friends.
Enjoy this round of Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway Day and good luck!
BTW: I typically respond to comments on my blog via email. Since I expect a lot of people to want a chance to win this prize, I doubt I’ll be able to follow up with everyone on this post. My apologies! Rest assured that I read every comment, though. : )

ReplyDeleteI love the Scrumptious line. I am fairly new to quilting and sewing in general. When I first discovered Moda, Scrumptious was the first line I fell in love with. However, I didn't know what to do with precuts so I never bought it. I really wish I had now.

ReplyDeleteI really LOVE just about any line that Lori Holt designs! Her patterns always compliment her fabric.

Thanks! nettiecrain@live.com
Years ago, before precuts were invented, I bought 1/2 yard of every fabric in a Red Rooster line. I made a lovely Bits 'n Pieces sampler quilt from that and then let the leftovers percolate for a decade or so. And you know what? If you loved it to begin with, it looks just as good 10 years later, even though the colours and style might be completely dated. Old fabric, new Nancy Mahoney pattern, and we're off to the races again!
ReplyDeleteJust added you to my instagram feed!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm all about letters and numbers, so a mix of fabric lines

ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm new to sewing and fabrics, so I don't have a favorite old fabric line to list! However, my mom has had this piece of fabric from "the orient" for just ever (I'm 37) - and I'm going to ask if she's willing to give it up to me to make a cute clutch!

ReplyDeleteReading through others' favorite fabrics reminded me of some I forgot about. I was first going to say Denyse Schmidt's Katie Jump Rope, but how could I leave out Heather Ross' Lightning Bugs and Other Wonders, or Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille, or Lush Uptown No. 1?

It seems there are many gorgeous fabric collections that I missed, before I started sewing. I think my favourite older collection is Bliss by B&C. I did have a layer cake of it and still have some scraps - much treasured!
ReplyDeleteI'm a relatively new quilter soI don't really know a lot about previous lines, which I suppose is good, because sometimes it's better to not know what you're missing. Had to laugh about your phone comment - I'm the same way, always losing and then looking for it!
ReplyDeleteHaving just had a bit of a nose around your blog, I'm a new follower on Feedly
ReplyDeleteI don't know the name of the line, but it had a lot of pinks, yellows, and ladybugs. I saw it somewhere online, and of course it's over 3 years old so I can't find it anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWell I would say that Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow line from a few years back is my favourite line - it is the lime green and navy combo that I love so much!
ReplyDeleteI am a Bloglovin' follower - yay!!
ReplyDeleteI liked Tula Pink's Hushabye line.
