Color Play Friday -Starburst

Welcome to an extra special Color Play Friday! Not only did we get a really awesome picture to work with we also have a contest going on provided by Stash Fabrics. So make sure you hop on over to Trina and Lorinda's websites for more details on how to win #colorplayfriday fat quarter bundles.

Now for the fun part. Playing with color and fabric. Red Starburst are my favorite so seeing a whole bowl of them just makes me giddy. I started with pulling from the reds and pinks in the picture. But I didn't want to just stop there. I have a hard time playing in just one color field and felt that it would have just make it too boring so I added the green and navy.

Navy is becoming so popular these days. Navy and coral are becoming my new favorite combination. I am seeing a lot of upcoming fabric lines using this combination. I can't wait to get to play with them more.

Because this weeks color play includes a bonus give away I wanted to make sure my fabrics choices we extra special. So true to my style I wanted animals in my fabric choices. To add to the challenge I decided that ALL my fabric choices had to have an animal. You would think this was an easy challenge but I will tell you it wasn't as easy as I would hope.

Nevertheless I still came out with a fun set of colors and fabrics that make me happy. Hope you enjoy my picks as much as I do and don't forget to enter to win free fabric.

Color Play Friday Minneapolis

Welcome to Color Play Friday!  This has been a roller coaster week for me.  I was happy to get a lot of projects done earlier this week and now I feel like I am running behind.  This is one of my favorite parts of the week so I am glad it's here.

I have been to Minneapolis a couple time for work but never really got to see the city to find beautiful buildings like this one.  I found some hidden color gems in the flags which gave me a better variety for the palette.  The rest I pulled from the trees and sky.

My color choices gave me a good challenge to try to brighten up what I felt was a somewhat muted palette.  We just got Tula Pinks #Chipper fabric in the shop so of course I had to get a couple of those pieces into the selection.  My secret (or not so secret) obsession for foxes and owl came through with the adorable fabric from Shauna Scicluna #ForestFable.  I just LOVE that fabric!

Enough talk.  On to #ColorPlayFriday !!

Color Play Friday -Pink Poppy

Happy, Happy Friday everyone!! Welcome to the first Friday in March and the first edition of #colorplayfriday in March. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see that we are getting closer to Spring. It’s light out when I go to work AND come home!

On top of all this lovely daylight it is also the beginning of all the fresh fun colors for Spring. Bring on the pinks, teals, lime greens and yellows!! Let the cheery fabrics be set free in your sewing world. Embrace color.

Ok, maybe I’m going a little overboard on the Spring cheer but this weeks picture and color palette I have joined with it just makes me so happy. For the first time I am dying to create something with my fabric choice.

I think I’ll call this my “Homage to Allison Glass” and her newest line of Sunprints. I love the prints she came out with and her choice of colors are just so lovely. She does a fabulous job of joining the colors together in the smaller prints. The flowery prints are my favorite. Sadly I have one of everything in my stash just waiting to be made into something breathtaking.

I hope this weeks pics make you just as happy as they made me.
