You’ve got mail, said hubby as he delivered a box of what the fabric industry calls “strike-offs.” It’s the first time I’ve seen my fabric on anything but paper. Strike-offs are irregular bits of printed fabric the mill sends for a color check.
This moment can’t go to waste, I thought! I’m thinking these scraps deserve to be made into something. I know what this occasion calls for—a new dish drainer quilt for my teardrop trailer (instructions in my Glamping with MaryJane book).
I’ll be showcasing my new fabric line in Houston at the end of October at the Quilt Show (we’ll have an actual teardrop in the Moda booth; how fun is that?). My fabric will begin showing up in quilt stores across the country in early March. Next on my list? Getting my hands on an actual bolt of fabric. Hopefully, getting this box of scraps will help me remain patient. Oops, I feel an entire trailer remodel coming on in the meantime. I think the brown and yellow rendition. Or maybe the pink and teal …
Congrats on your new line of fabrics! Love the colors … especially the addition of the chocolate brown to the works. Yum. Will look for them later. I used to go to the Houston market and the springtime market also…20+ years ago (another life) as a designer. The Houston show is GiNorMous and so much fun, very inspiring to be around so many creative people too. A teardrop on display will be a magnificent magnet for attention!!
What haven’t you done in your lifetime, Shery?! Yes, Houston quilt market abounds with creative women.
Love this new fabric line! The colors and prints are going to be inspiring glampers from coast to coast next spring. And what better way to set the trend than with a quilted dish drainer ? Those things were so fun to make and I have used the idea all year for little gifts. Please post the prototype of whatever you decide to make with your samples. Inquiring minds want to know!!
For sure I will Winnie!
Well I sure will be glad to get some of the new fabric and I know it will be absolutely fabulous! I really can’t wait to get into my new glamping book! Thanks MaryJane for all of the beautiful things and ideas you create and share with us.
Can’t wait until March….
Can’t wait until I can buy some material & begin quilting in March!!
I cannot wait to see this in person! I’ll be at market with Karen and Angela- the A Scarlet Thread team. I hope that I get to see you. It’s been a long time!
Wonderful news! Let’s hook up somehow.
Will you only be at the part of the Houston show that the public attends, or just for vendors? Look forward to seeing you there.
I am looking for a liitle trailer as we speak and this could be the color scheme! So excited! Love all you do. I get your mgazine and follow you on pinterest. Such wonderful ideas.
