Building Our Stash - Color By Color
Every quilter knows the thrill of building a beautiful fabric stash. It happens over time, one fat quarter here, a yard there. Maybe it was a fabric we couldn’t resist, a color that spoke to us, or a print we just knew would be perfect for that “someday” quilt. Over the years, these choices shape a collection that’s as personal as our fingerprints.
Sometimes, it's lovely to work on a small (and portable) stitching project. This pillow from Wendy Williams is a free project that incorporates a sweet little village created with wool shapes and stitched onto a background. In this example, Williams used shot cotton in two shades of gray for her background. The houses are created in bright, happy colors, and what's a village without a few trees and some cute critters?
