Sunday Stash: Marine Too

Having little boys I just couldn't go past this fabric when I first saw it. The range is called Marine Too by Dan Stiles for Birch fabrics. It is 100% certified organic premium quilting weight cotton and lovely and soft to touch.

There are 10 fabrics in the range which showcases both small and large (actually very large) prints.

 

Both the turtles and the whales are super cute with little love hearts between them.

There are also some prints with submarines, anchors, crabs, ships and birds. I'm loving the brightness of these prints they just scream fun and happy to me!

 

I haven't got any specific fabric in mind for these just yet but as the prints are quite large I'm thinking some simple large strips or perhaps bordered squares. I also bought some extra yardage of the whales which I can't wait to use as backing.

 

Till next time....happy sewing....

Sunday Stash - Charley Harper for Birch Fabrics

Ok I'm excited...well very excited. I have been waiting for these fabrics to come back in stock for what has felt like an eternity (ok about 6 months) and now I have them in my hands - yay !!!

This is the Charley Harper fat quarter bundle for Birch Fabrics and is 100% certified organic premium quilting weight cotton. This range is also available in other fabric types to.

Charley Harper was a wildlife artist and used shapes, vibrant colour combinations, patterns and textures in his work. I ended up purchasing two fat quarter bundles in the hope to make a king bed quilt for my bed with these.

With birds, cardinals, ladybugs and the like, and simple geometric shapes these fabrics are just amazing.

 I even love the simplicity of these designs and could see their use outside this range paired with other fabrics in my stash.

Super cute images of birds complemented with spots.

 

 

I also purchased about 6 yards of the far right leaf prints in the blue range for my quilt backing.

  

It's Sunday so I'm linking up with Molli Sparkles Sunday Stash weekly linky party.

Till next time.....happy sewing....
