I don’t know about you, but I am pretty tired of the news lately. Tonight I wanted to give you something peaceful and uplifting, so I picked two of my favorite kinds of fabrics: Angels and Ombres!
The central photo is from the main cathedral in Seville Spain, where I visited this summer. The painted and gilded angels amidst the Baroque flourishes and Spanish tiles, gives a sense of opulence, like a perfectly embellished soprano voice rising above a breathless crowd.
Around this photo, you’ll see a collage of Angel fabrics, and Ombre prints. We just adore our collection of Ombres, because they give such a sense of dimensional Light in a piece. If you make sashing and borders with Ombres, it will give a luminous quality to the piece.
This week I’ve been previewing Christmas 2017 collections that will ship next Spring, which is really strange! We haven’t even had this year’s Christmas yet, but it seems to be looming just past Election Day. If you are still thinking about making a holiday quilt for someone special, try some Angels and Ombres for a very special and unique gift! Stir in some exquisitely detailed Roses or Gold Metallic prints for your own Angelic/Baroque/Floral masterpiece.
I hope that made you smile, with the pleasant distraction of lovely fabrics!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
