Castles and Carriages

Castles and Carriages are perfect for that little princess!  This fabric collection was really hard to show off.  I ended up taking these pictures with my camera and making a few collages so you can really see all the possibilities.

 

 This is actually a 24 inch panel, which I made into a collage...

This is a close up of another blue print in the collection...

And this is a close up of one small section of a green stripe.

 

There are 2 really nice blenders...one is this pink small print

And there is this beautiful damask in a pale yellow

This is really a stack of great fabrics for a LilyandEbony dress...

I cut the panel and used bits and pieces of it here and there, to make the front and back aprons.

 
I added some swarski crystals on the crowns for a little BLING!

ABRACADABRA!

Nicey Jane and LilyandEbony

If only I had a little more time, I would make samples of every fabric collection I buy for the AllegroFabrics Shop.  This little set is made from Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey.  It's a huge collection with prints of all sizes, so it was difficult to choose...and this little model is such a petite little one!  I made the set in a size 2.  I have decided to make a custom sized one under the LilyandEbony label.  I have it listed on Ebay, with many other pictures for you to look at.  Speaking of those pics, I think the photography is amazing!  It was probably about 50 degrees that day, too.  Seattle weather is like winter all year long!

SchoolHouse at The Quilt Market

Oh my Goodness!!!!!  First I would like to say that I am totally awed by the number of comments for the AllegroFabrics $20.00 gift certificate giveaway.  I am going to offer another $20.00 if we reach 200 comments by Sunday night.  I am reading every single comment and enjoying all of the positive remarks from all of you!

Today at Quilt Market many presenters gave sneak peeks of their new lines, showed tons of cool samples and offered tutorials.  They call this event SchoolHouse.  It was hard to pick and choose which sessions to attend.

 

This is the newest line from Pillow and Maxfield.  This delightful creative duo designs for Michael Miller.  I sold out their collection very quickly last fall and I know this one will go fast as well. They offer a few colors ways and one is perfect for holiday.  Their samples are so eye catching!  What do you think?

 

I am always looking for new kids patterns and this in particular from Amy Butler is perfect!  It's a simple to make hooded raincoat, perfect for all of the laminates that are coming out.  This is one of her own patterns and I will be buying it for sure...An you can bet that LilyandEbony will sew up a few samples!

Here is a very interesting sample of Princess Bella Pattern from Izzy and Ivy.  This is made using Australian Aboriginal fabrics from a line that I am highly considering buying into...these are MILD prints compared to the majority they create...It's just such a stunning dress in these lovely prints.  I do not know if Izzy and Ivy has any NEW patterns out...will report back on that tomorrow!

Patty Young had a very nice presentation featuring the new Michael Miller Knits.  This lovely quilt was made with the knits!  We all got to touch it...soooo soft!

She also had a video demo of 5 different ways to hem with knits...it included methods from professional to home sewing with a very old machine.  I took copious notes which I will post when I get home and include a copy with every yard of knit fabric I sell. 

Patty is wearing a very sweet little top and skirt she made with the knits...It looked sooo cute on her...my pic does not do it justice!
