I thought I would show you the fabrics included my upcoming project which were all purchased locally (well almost).
First up is this Cotton and Steel basic, Dottie in Picnic from the Spring 2014 collection. I had a little of this print already in my stash but needed more for my project. I found the print at CastnCotton, an Etsy shop from Columbia, SC. Erica has lots of cotton + Steel fabrics with very reasonable and fast shipping.
Next is this Kate Spain print from Jingle for Moda Fabrics. I've had this print for awhile and fairly certain I purchased it a local quilt shop, Viking Sew 'N Quilt located at 113 W. Butler Rd. Mauldin, SC 29662.
Another Greenville, SC area quilt shop I recommend is Bernina We're In Stitches located at 2310 E. North St, Greenville, SC 29607.
Also included in my project is a Kona solid, Chinese Red which I purchased at Foam & Fabrics just across the state line in Fletcher, NC, just south of Asheville.
Foam & Fabrics carries all 303 Kona Cotton Solids and displays them in color order. I snapped this picture one day and this is just one partial side of the all the solids they have displayed. They number all the bolts making it easier to find a color.
I hope you will stop by back Friday, July 21st when I'll be sharing my project for the 12 Days of Christmas in July blog hop made from my Sunday Stash features.
Look forward to seeing your post, and thanks for sharing your recent purchases.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I've never seen a store carry all 303 colors of Kona! It sounds like I'd really enjoy visiting Foam & Fabrics just to see the colors in order. :) I look forward to seeing what you make with these!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your project since I have the same fabrics in my stash. Also, I checked out CastnCotton--such a sweet shop, carried everything I like or already have.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is definitely a treat to find a store that carries ALL the Kona colors - makes my mouth water! Looking forward to seeing what you've made for the Christmas in July hop - we share the same day - see you Friday!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing to have a shop that carries all 303 colors!!
ReplyDeleteHow hard it would be to resist having some of each colour in your stash!!! A beautiful display, and you are giving us a colourful preview of 21st July.
ReplyDeleteI love that Jingle Paige. Can hardly wait to see what it becomes. We have a shop on the other side of Michigan that I am going to next weekend, they too have all the Kona Solids. I am afraid to go into the shop.
ReplyDeleteI have found a couple of online shops which have the full range of Kona solids but it must be wonderful to actually see them all. One shop does a stash club where you get a fat quarter or a fat eight in every colour over eighteen months. I recently bought a colour card too, it's a great investment. Looking forward to your Christmas post, see you Friday.
ReplyDeleteIt's a challenge to find Kona solids around here. I can't imagine a store with all of them -- how fun would that be?
ReplyDeleteOh my! It's wonderful that you have so many brick-and-mortar fabric shopping options! We have NOTHING in our area that stocks modern, let alone anything in a 100-mile radius that carries so many solids! And ALL of them?! Wow. I can't figure out why Central Florida doesn't have a good quilt shop expect perhaps that fewer people make quilts in Florida? Because it's hot here? But goodness, we have 1,100 quilters in our quilt guild, so you'd think we would have some options. You don't realize how fortunate you are.
ReplyDeleteI think I must get myself to Foam & Fabrics!! I have a surprisingly hard time finding Kona solids, and I am in an area with a good number of brick and mortar shops. I do like seeing all the colors together!
ReplyDeleteReally neat idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a collection, to have all the Kona solids in stock! And to keep them all in number order! I know how bolts have a tendency to move around a bit during the day!?!
ReplyDeleteYou have a good eye for fabrics. Thanks for sharing. When I visited SC, I used to love a quaint shop in Central SC called Heirlooms and Comfort. Sad for me was the day it closed.
ReplyDeleteJeannie, I hated to see it Heirlooms and Comforts close as well. I became interested in quilting from window shopping when the shop was located downtown Clemson before moving to Central. (I hope you will see my reply here as you are a noreply-blogger.)
