Celebrating the Art of Embroidery: Meriwether Fabrics

Meriwether_banner

Today is a lovely day here in south Florida because currently, the temperature is in the 60s! That's pretty cold down here considering we are pretty used to 90-degree weather almost all year round- it's nice to have a break from the rain too. When there is not a single cloud in the sky, the sun is out, and there is a cool breeze, it's the perfect recipe for making me happy! Which brings me to today's latest AGF collection release, Meriwether

Meaning "happy weather" in Middle English, this collection is available in 16 prints and it's all cotton, which means quilters, you will have tons of fun sewing with this group of fabrics. This collection celebrates the art of embroidery and hand-stitching techniques as a way to tell a story surrounding the love and enchantment of nature around us.

Meriwether tells a peaceful meadow story. Coming in two colorways, one to celebrate the peacefulness in all us when the sun is shining and a darker colorway to represent the warm breeze that moves through the fields of wild blooms.

In this fabric collection, you'll find graceful rabbits with their cotton ball tails, colorful blooms, and dancing june bugs. (The june bugs is my favorite!! Reminds me when I was a kid, I use to play Animal Planet with my cousin and catch all kinds of bugs.) 

If you'd like to take a closer look at these prints,  watch out the latest YouTube video, where I give you some more information on the scale and color information on these fabrics. Make sure to give the video a thumbs-up if you enjoyed it. :)

NEW COLOR MASTER ELEMENTS!

3RD POST - BUNDLES copy

Another day, another announcement of exciting news! If you’ve been a follower on the blog, you might’ve seen my series of the Color Master every month, where I feature a new color master and some patterns to go along with it. I’ve been really inspired by the boxes/bundles because they make it easier for a maker to be introduced to a new group of fabrics. Whether it’s a set of curated fabrics assorted by colors, or grouping by designer, there is a perfect little bundle ready for you to give it a try. 

Today it’s my pleasure to introduce you to our latest edition to the Color Master series... COLOR MASTER ELEMENTS!! The same concept you’ve been seeing in the past but this time, with our ELEMENTS! Curated from our popular blenders like Decostitch, Floral, Icon, Nature, Oval, Prisma, and Squared Elements, these fabrics act like solids while offering texture and depth. With 𝟭𝟭 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢, all filled with 16 Fat Quarters, each bundle has an array of tonal colors and it’s the perfect addition to your fabric stash to use in various projects.

All bundle elements

Now with more fabrics in each bundle, the possibilities are endless! If you love to collect fabric, this would be a great addition to add to your fabric stash. Because these Elements were created with colors that are already existing in all our AGF collections, you’ll be sure to find the perfect blender for your next project.

Please share with us your bundles and creations with these fabrics by using the hashtag #AGFElements on social media, so we can share the love. 

 

Until next time,

Happy sewing!

Jannelle


Travel into the Safari: Maara Fabric Collection

Maara-Banner_600px copy

Isn’t it just a lovely day when you get to discover more fabric?! Working at AGF, I get to see these fabrics come to life from start to finish, and it’s a really exciting day when sewists get their hands on them! 

Today, we just released Alexandra Bordallo’s second collection here are Art Gallery Fabrics, and just like her first one, this is quite a fun collection. It’s calling all travelers at heart as this collection represents her trip to the African Savanna in Kenya! Although this trip was 5 years ago, little did she know that the photographs she took during her adventure were going to be her inspiration for designing her next collection. Throughout her trip, she went on a safari by the Maasai Mara, a protected area in the African Savanna where she found lovely people at their villages, gentle elephants, and graceful zebras. 

In this fabric collection, you’ll find many of her memories translated to these prints! Filled with colorful cameras, luggage bags, and exotic blenders that pair perfectly together for your next quilty project.
