What Shade are You? RJR Blog Hop and a Giveaway!!
A few months ago i was contacted by RJR fabrics wanting to know if i would be interested in giving their Cotton Supreme Solids a try. And if i was interested in also participating in their What Shade Are You blog hop. I jumped at the chance and was sent the most glorious stack of solids i had ever seen... truly, so awesome! I had such an incredibly hard time choosing what shade i was... but i narrowed it down to what i'm calling my Wild Goose Stampede... shade?
I've built this palette around Sarah Watts lovely Stampede print from her first Cotton and Steel line August. I'm in love with the colours in this print and was excited to work some solids into the mix!
I'll be honest and say that little bits of these solids have been getting cut off here and there over the course of the last few months, i've found myself working with a lot of Cotton and Steel lately and these solids just slide right in. I think most of my projects as of late, that include solids, have been from this pull. But the one that shows them all to their best, is what i'm calling my Wild Goose Stampede Pillow!
Get it? It's a wild goose chase block but the center fabric is called Stampede - Wild Goose Stampede!! Oh Nicole you're so funny! (that's what i imagine you're all saying right now... don't burst my bubble here folks!)
It's a simple block to make and hey look!...
I made a tutorial for everyone!
See, i told you it was easy!
Then quilt it up in anyway you like, i opted for the straight line V formation, in Aurifil brass of course ;)
And turn it into a pillow! I backed mine in the same Stampede print and just did a simple zipper closure at the bottom.
Now for the good stuff! RJR is going to give one of you lucky readers your very own fat quarter bundle of Wild Goose Stampede (minus the Stampede print, just the solids here today folks!) All you need to do is leave a comment and all this could be yours!! (and by all this i really only mean the fat quarter bundle) (but what a fat quarter bundle it is! Just think of the things you could do with it!!) 8 glorious colours! So fun! Rambling again aren't i, you're all thinking, will she please just shut her trap and get on with the contest! Yes yes i know, shutting up! But i do need to tell you that unfortunately this giveaway is only open to Canada and the US, i'm so sorry to my international readers :( I'll get ya next time! Promise!
