{Fabric Friday} Oh Boy… the 4th of July!

How could I not be inspired by this little boy? I have been collecting “car” or “transportation” fabrics for Sayer for awhile. The hope is to make him a quilt soon. But for now, they are his fabrics to organize in the studio as he likes. You can’t walk too many places in our house without spotting a toy car, train, boat, fire engine, or truck.

This is 4th of July weekend here in the US and many people are out & about, traveling to see fireworks and friends over the holiday. What a way to celebrate but to have a Fabric Friday that honors transportation vehicles and the red, white & blue of our flag. In these patriotic klt:fabric stashes, you will find some: Kokka, Michael Miller, Amy Bulter, *Trefle* and Kei fabrics. As far as the make of the cars that are parked in front, I will have to ask Sayer or Chris and then get back to you.

Last year, Sayer participated in a 4th of July parade (in my parent’s neighborhood) in a red wagon. I am not sure what my mom has up her sleeve for this year’s parade but I am sure it will be good. After all, her birthday is today and I am sure she will be up for extending her party. Happy Birthday Mom! Happy Fabric Friday Everyone! Hope you have a safe and fun weekend. What are your plans?

{Fabric Friday} A little basil with my fabric…

One thing that is nice about all of the rain lately, is that our raised garden is going gangbusters! There is a sea of gorgeous green that takes over our backyard now and it was my fabric friday inspiration today. When looking through my fabrics, I could see that living in this valley has quite possibly influenced my color choices over time. I think green is the dominant color.

Today’s afternoon break consisted of stocking up on more herbs to add to our our flourishing garden. It was all about basil in my little cardboard box. I collected all sorts of varieties- because in my opinion, you can never have too much basil. I only wish that these pictures were scratch-n-sniff because it smells amazing right now! So here is my little “basil” klt:fabric stash. You will find some: various moda, Amy Bulter, Heather Baily, Kai, Alexander Henry, Helen Rawlinson, Ink & Spindle, Umbrella, Marimekko, and Valori Wells.

Ok, the smell of basil along with a rumbling tummy may have affected this last picture. I think I am truly inspired now. Ah, the perfect Fabric Friday combination. Happy Fabric Friday! Have a nice weekend everyone!

{Fabric Friday} Dreamy space & lovely fabric …

We live in a small town about an hour north of Seattle. Unfortunately, great fabric stores are hard to come by (there aren’t any). So, I order almost all of my fabrics online. For a tactile person, this method of fabric browsing & purchasing isn’t the most gratifying. On our little getaway to Seattle on Monday, we stopped by one of my recent discoveries, a gorgeous fabric store called Fabric Crush. This lovely shop is in a remodeled elementary school building that was originally built in 1904. It’s now called Wallingford Center and it houses sweet little shops & businesses. I found Fabric Crush earlier this year when we took Sayer to get a haircut in a fun little salon for kids. It was a great day for everyone. Across from the fabric shop is a wonderful toy store, and down the way… yummy cupcakes! What I love about Fabric Crush is that it is uncluttered, spacious, has amazing natural light, carries a gorgeous variety of current fabrics, and the people are knowledgeable and passionate about fabric. I was glad to have my iphone with me during my last visit -so that I could share the space with you.

I was really pleased to see that Robert Kaufman’s new organic collection of fabrics was in the store and I quickly snatched up 3 gorgeous designs. I also snagged a few Kokka florals and some nostalgic, navy & white striped ticking (that reminds me of an old pillow or mattress). After adding to my klt:fabric stash, Chris and I went across the hall and lost ourselves in the land of toys. Of course we had to bring something fun home for kiddo. What a great day Chris and I had on Monday- new spex, fancy coffee drinks, vintage junk shops, inspirational fabrics, and holding hands in the streets of Seattle. Happy Fabric Friday everyone!

{Fabric Friday} Rainy with Sun breaks…

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on June 04, 2010 in Fabric Friday, klt:fabric stash | 8 Comments

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I am going to report on the weather again. Do I even need to? Most likely not. However, it does have a little to do with my Fabric Friday selection. Did you guess yet? Ah yes, it is raining with a chance of sun breaks throughout the day.

My peeps and I are stuck inside today- all three of us. So this post was a group effort. A “rainy day activity” is what I called it, to muster some interest …. but I knew that it was just truly multitasking. I have to say, they rose to the occasion. Sayer wanted to wear his gray shirt, and helped me pick out the fabrics. He was particularly fond of the yellow on the top of the stack. And Kiki, well she just always inspires me to use this palette (as she was my original muse). I love to play with gray, black and yellow fabrics. I also just finished a new mobile last night that has glimmers of this palette so it was on my mind. In this stack you will find some: vintage barkcloth, Marimekko, Ink & Spindle, Helen Rawlinson, Moda Fabrics, polartec fleece, and some Alexander Henry.

So there you have it, the official fabric selection committee. It was a fun project that tuckered us all out. -Getting ready for nap time. Hopefully when it is time to wake up, it will be yellow fabric time….

Happy Fabric Friday!
