The Secret is Revealed!

I had to keep mum about the project I was involved with for the shoppe....Sew To Speak....but the previews are being revealed!  You can read all about it on the Sew To Speak blog.


Robert Kaufman sent the shoppe samples of fabric designed by local fabric designer Suzy Ultman....our challenge was to make items using the fabric!!! Yee-haw!!! The line is called Appleville and is full of bright, bright colors with adorable little houses, apples, and sweet friends who look like they live in Appleville!!!  Very happily, I might add :)


I felt the panel samples should be framed in bright youthful fabrics, with lots of colorful stitching!


This fabric was well suited to playful shapes dancing around the blocks....


And a little fussy cutting sets the scene for a bright summer day!


It was a fun challenge!  Although I don't think we had a single sunny day the entire time I was working on this....so sorry for the less than stellar photos!

    Oh what cute fabric! And I see that the little girl with the brown hair must live in the yellow house with the polka dot lawn. I think I see some of this fabric in my future....I have lots of little girls with red/brown/blonde hair to sew for! Thanks for sharing your creative project with us!
