FABrics I Love

As you may have noticed, I love to sew. I mostly make quilts and crafts, but have been known to sew a little bit of clothing every now and then. One of the reasons I haven’t been sewing a lot since I started living the RV lifestyle, is that I am always in remote locations where there is not a decent fabric store within hundreds of miles.

The internet has come to my fabric rescue! Over the last year or so, I have found quite a few sewing, quilting, and fabric blogs, and I read them every day, and drool over all those fabulous fabrics the writers of them are using in their projects.  One of my favorite fabric blogs, True Up, is hosting a MEME where they want you to show your 10 favorite fabrics of 2009.

Since I didn’t get into internet fabrics until last summer, I missed out on some that debuted earlier, so some of the ones I am listing here may be older than 2009, but I still love them.

My most favorite fabric I found this year (but probably came out earlier than that) is the Fairy Tip Toes collection by Tina Givens for Free Spirit Fabrics. When I saw it, I fell in love with it, and searched for three weeks before I found it online to buy. I haven’t cut it yet, don’t know that I ever will, but I HAVE it and that is what matters most to a fabric-aholic like me!
My next favorite is called Large Whimsy from Pillow and Maxfield for Michael Miller Fabrics. I am making myself a quilt using the brown/green/turquoise colorway. I already have the pieces cut and ready to sew.


There are just so many beautiful FABrics out there these days, it makes me wish I had more storage room for it. I have only a wicker trunk to keep it in, though, so I have to be very selective on what I buy.


And I used two fabrics from the Meadowsweet Collection by Sandi Henderson for Michael Miller to make a dress for my FabGranddaughter, Sarah, for Christmas:

Here are some things that are in my list to get in the coming year, that is, if something new doesn’t come along that I love more!


Echino Fall: for Kokka Fabrics

Far And Away by Heather Ross for Kokka Fabrics

Hushabye:  by Tula Pink for Moda Fabrics

Goodnight Monkey: by Erin Michael for Moda Fabrics
MoMo Odyssea: for Moda Fabrics
Full Bloom: by Bari J. for Windham Fabrics
Brandon Mably: for Westminster Fabrics
Girly Girl: by Patricia Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics
And for reasons I don’t have to explain, I love these two cute fabrics:
Travel Trailer: Michael Miller Fabrics
Happy Campers: by American Jane for Moda Fabrics
I don’t know how many of these gorgeous FABrics I will actually get this year, but oh, isn’t it wonderful to dream about them?? Oh, and I see I have gone fabric crazy again, since they only asked for my favorite 10. Hello. My name is FabGrandma and I am a fabric-aholic.

    I have some of your favorites too, like Fairy Tip Toes and Heather Ross! You really can't have TOO much fabric… or can you? 🙂

    My Mum was like you. Loved fabrics and sewing. Unfortunately I didn't follow in her footsteps even though I made all the curtains in our first house and made clothes for my girls when they were little. I wouldn't mind learning to make pathcwork spreads.
    You sound like you are in Fabric Heaven.

    Hi Karen, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog – I am glad that there are many other fabric addicts out there! You have put together a great selection of fabrics, I especially love your choice of the Michael Miller Travel Trailer – such a sweet design and another one I might just have to add to my stash….

    Love the Meadowsweet dress; Travel Trailer was another of my favorites, but didn't have room on my list!

    I wonder if there's a "FA" for your addiction. LOL!
    I love the fairy fabric best. But I need to check out the Trailer and camper patterns.
