Blossom Batiks Splash: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Link Party

Teal with red-violet and blue-violet. Now I’m inspired!

Have you seen these recent fabrics from RJR Fabrics? Today’s colour board is created from this really beautiful subset of the current RJR Blossom Batiks – Splash collection. Aren’t they glorious?

These colours are consuming a lot of my attention at the moment. Hopefully you’ve caught up with yesterday’s release of the tenth bear in the Beary Colourful BOM…. and saw the blue-violet RJR fabrics used there.  Of course, September’s bear was red-violet. And November’s will be teal. But that’s not where my current obsession with these colours ends – not by a long shot. There is a small thanksgiving-themed project in progress in my sewing room featuring these fabrics as well.  I intend to have it for download on the blog for you by the end of the month, all being well. Maybe even have some fabric leftovers to give away!  🙂

In the meantime….. 

Thank you to everyone who shared their fusible adhesive experience

The winner from last week’s competition for the quilted bookmark is Julie. Congratulations Julie, I have sent you an email. It was a tough choice…. there were lots of really really helpful comments. Julie pointed out a product that I haven’t tried that seems genuinely promising, and she broke the ice with the first comment, for which I am always grateful. 

Thank you to all of you who generously gave of your time and experience to help Janice and me out with fusible tips. I suspect you have helped/will help more people than just us with all your comments in one place. And a special thanks to Jeanette with her epic poem too….  I wish I had more than one bookmark to give away, that’s for sure!

I don’t know about you, but I tend to suffer from a bit of customer inertia, sticking to using the same thing over and over unless it becomes unbearable. Even if there might be better options out there. I’ll admit, I am a bit inspired to do a comparison of a few fusibles at some stage with last week’s variety of recommendations. I was also relieved to find out that some products are naturally sticky and that it’s not just user error.

If you’d still like to add your two cents worth to the fusible adhesive discussion you can comment here.

This week’s Chameleon Colour Party feature

This week the Chameleon was in the mood to get all arty. It’s Andrée’s fault…. Andrée from Quilting and Learning – What a Combo walked us through her latest abstract art quilt and Wow! What she hasn’t packed into her little piece isn’t worth adding. Head on over and take a closer look…. you’ll find fabric weaving, driftwood, improv beading, felting, hand-dyed fabric and more.

My sincerest thanks to everyone who linked up last week. If you were featured you can find a badge of honour here.
