Over the past few months anything that I sew or quilt that includes my True Colors fabrics jumps right up to the top of my personal favorites list. Like of all time personal favorites. True Colors has proven to be my little dream come true fabric haul. I can barely plan anything that doesn't include a bit or a lot of it. Which is just exactly what I hoped for when designing it. Anyhoo. Here is the quilt that I have been asked about a whole lot. Color Dive. The Color Dive Quilt was inspired by my True Colors collection and is my newest video class on CreativeBug. I am also working on a PDF version of the pattern that we should have listed in the shop for sale soon, and I'll be sure to letchya know about that. When it's published, we'll have some kits ready for you too. We're like that.
Here's the preview for the Color Dive class:
The quilt uses every print in my Dowry collection + every print in my True Colors collection + a handful of solids. In case you'd like a chance to land an extra little pile of fabrics on your sewing table, you should follow along with the True Colors blog tour that is starting Monday at Sew4Home. There will be plenty of chances to win fabric + thread prizes and get loads of sewing inspiration along the way. Here's a scheduled list of the talented folks that are sharing their True Colors projects using my group (highlighted in pink) as well as Heather's, Joel's and Jenean's. Enjoy! xoxoAnnaMaria

So excited about this one! I don't think that my fabric stash is well rounded enough to pull this off, perfect excuse to treat myself to a kit! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your True Colors collection - can't wait to see some of it in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord. I have Joel's collection, and am saving for your And J's. I'm so excited for this blog tour!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful fabric ~ I've got the whole set in fat quarters and want more! I just love all your designs!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over those fabrics!!!
ReplyDeleteOh heaven. The very first designer fabric I bought was one of yours (good folks filigree in sun) and every time I see a quilt made with your prints I just swoon. I'm so lucky there's a designer out there who makes things just for me!!!
ReplyDelete*Love* this....I'm so glad I'm reading in time to see the 'kits-for-sale'~!
ReplyDeletexoxo ♥~C
I have never taken a quilt class but I might have to take the plunge on this one. I plan on getting my sewing machine fixed next month and this seems like the best way to celebrate that! Very excited about this!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to hear your voice after so long of reading your words! Beautiful fabrics too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Is there a kit?
ReplyDeleteHi! It's coming this week :)
DeleteOh good. thanks
DeleteI loved the class! The PDF download is not working from CreativeBug. I will let them know but thought I'd tell you as well. Thanks for sharing this quilt!
