Everything Kim Diehl

I love everything Kim Diehl – and her new book and fabric collection are spectacular!  Welcome Wagon, her new fabric line due out in June, supports her Whatnots club – but will shine in any design.  This fabric line is due to ship in June.

Here is a sampling of the patterns and colors in this new line, starting out with her signature teal.

These prints would be right at home in the quilts featured in her latest book – Simple Christmas Tidings, due out in May.

The best part?  These fabrics and most of the projects don’t scream Christmas so they can be displayed year round.

Batiks at their Finest

We just picked up this pattern line by Janine Burke of Designs by JB and I am totally impressed!  These highly graphic quilts are not only striking, they are a great study in color play!

Whisper is all done in shades of gray and black – but look how the light fabrics make the quilt glow.  It looks like there is light showing through from within.BUS2540
Item #JBD7295  Retail $10.00

Now look what happens with the same color pallette when she adds touches of color in A Bit Askew.
JBD1011
Item #JBD1011  Retail $10.00

Look what happens when she adds some Lime to the shades of gray.  And you have to love the name!

Item #BUS2380  Retail $10.00

Or, add blue to that field of gray.  The light shades are once again placed toward the top of the quilt to add a feel of light.
BUS2472
Item #BUS2472  Retail $10.00

But shades of gray is not her only color palette.  Modern Thinking and Athena’s Puzzle look like they were created from the same fabrics as well.  Wouldn’t this be a great combination on bunk beds?  Each would have their own quilt – but everything would coordinate beautifully.
BUS1031
Item #BUS1031  Retail $10.00

BUS1040
Item #BUS1040  Retail $10.00

Mega Mod and Vibe are studies in red.  All I can say is WOW!
BUS2571
Item #BUS2571  Retail $10.00

JBD7349
Item #JBD7349  Retail $10.00

These quilt patterns need to be displayed in the batik section.  These fat quarter quilts would be great bundled with the patterns!  A little help with fabric choices is always appreciated.
