Fabric Friday:  Heather Ross’s Mendocino (out of print)

I promise it won’t always be out of print fabrics, there are just a couple of fabrics that REALLY caught my eye when I first started and I wanted to make sure I covered those.  And OH BOY was Mendocino one of them.

I started seeing small things made out of Heather Ross’s Mendocino line when the FIRST line came out (the orange/brown version here) back in 2008.  It was my first time really seeing modern designer fabric and I was SMITTEN.  I wasn’t quite quilting yet, but it definitely sparked my interest.  Fast forward to several years later:

I am not aware of how often this happens, I am still a bit murky on the fabric industries ins and outs, but in 2016 they re-released Mendocino in new colors, and it was SO GOOD y’all!  So these purple/watermelon/etc. examples are all of the SECOND line of Mendocino (sorry if topless mermaids are a no-no).  In my opinion, it’s still one of my favorite lines and I’ve seen a lot of beautiful creations with it.

As for this being “out of print” - you can find a good bit of the second line around if you want some, on etsy and elsewheres.   I personally have bought some and I have no idea when I’ll finally be able to cut into it.

Some Mendocino Sawtooth Stars for my Sparkling Cider Quilt. It was not easy for me to cut them up because they’re so pretty, but I persevered. #mendocino #heatherrossfabric #heatherross #fabric #sewing #sawtoothstar #quiltblock #pink #octopus #sparklingciderquilt #quilt #quilting #modernquilt #modernquilting https://www.instagram.com/p/Byam2spgm_O/?igshid=1jj2e0qs4lsaq

My Week in Commodities

My Week in Commodities

It’s been a long time, my friends out there in the wild tech world!  I am so sorry for taking such a hiatus.  I am pleased to be back here, sharing the love of simplicity and function with you!  There have been so many changes in my life since I last posted that I thought I’d restart my experience here with something “easy”, photographs of the commodities I love enough to fill my little home with.

Meet my Heather Ross Mini!

I’ve always wanted to be part of a swap and finally, for the first time in years, I feel like I finally have enough sewing time that I feel confident committing to a swap. When I saw a Heather Ross one open a few months ago, I jumped right in!

Over the last month, I finished my few extras including a See it All Pouch using some sweet Lizzy House fabric... I know, I know, it’s not Heather Ross... But that shade of green is all sorts of amazing! (*Which, by the way, THIS pattern is one of my all time favorite pouches & comes from Aneela Hooey’s new book “Stitched Sewing Organizers” that you can find HERE. )

On top of the Lizzy House extra, I made another Heather Ross extra & made some progress on my mini. I’ve never made a mini before and coming out the other side, they are AWESOME. I’m fully and totally addicted to them now!

I decided to go with matching wonky stars and they were sooo fun! I had 4 stars and kinda got stuck on the design for a little bit.

One night, I ended up browsing the #heatherrossmini on Instagram and got some inspiration to finish the design with 2″ fussy cut squares. It took me until well after midnight but it was done with the top! Gotta love when inspiration strikes!

Thankfully, I had some of my quilty wishes granted a few months ago and was graciously given a TON of Heather Ross so it was fun going through my stash to finish it.

Check out this amazing stacks above of what I was gifted through getting my quilty wishes granted! Talk about a blessing!

For the backing, I ordered some Kinder from the Etsy shop Janum that showed up a few days ago and I finally had a chance to lock in and finish today!

My partner’s favorite color is green so it was only logical to use the Alphabet print in green for the backing plus some bold Art Gallery black and white to offset it all.. plus black and white binding is always my fav ;)

This CUTE little kid took an amazing nap which allowed me to finish & I’m sooo happy with how it turned out. I hope my partner loves it too and can’t wait for the ship date!
