Introducing Apricot & Ash

Apricot & Ash Fabric

Hello Friends–today I am pleased to introduce you to my next line of fabric, Apricot & Ash.

Escape to a countryside filled with the sweet roses and the scents of late summer.  Feel the sunshine on your face as you lift your eyes to see the final dappled colors of the season.  The light filters down through branches just starting to show off their leaves of splendor.  And this, my friend, is where you will find Apricot & Ash; tucked at the end of summer with all of the warmth and beauty of a new season’s beginning.  Filled with roses, and buds, you’ll find the golden colors of late summer as you wonder down the ash colored paths meandering through the garden.  Sweet gingham and ticking stripes perfectly compliment the flower tossed fabrics.  The Apricot & Ash panel is my tribute to summers past… when the evenings began to cool and thoughts turn once again to hand work by the fire creating spectacular Baltimore Album and Rose of Sharon sampler quilts.  The panel can be used on its own to create a whole cloth quilt or used in pieced blocks and other projects.  Create a rose garden to enjoy year round with Apricot & Ash.

    It has been so much fun to work with these fabrics over the last few months and I’m excited to be sharing them with you here today.  If you follow me on Instagram  you may have gotten a peek of these already.

Apricot & Ash is full of sweet roses, leaves, checks, and stripes in the most luscious shades of coral, apricot, peach, green, and gray.

Apricot & Ash panel

I have also designed a panel that features Baltimore Album or Rose of Sharon sampler type blocks.  They are the perfect mix of traditional meets fresh and allow you to create these beautiful samplers with ease.  I have been having so much fun playing with the panel!

The panel is 60″ wide fabric and a repeat is 1 yard (36″) sold off the bolt.  This means that with the purchase of two panels (2 yards of fabric) you can create a whole cloth quilt that would measure 60″ x 72″.  I cannot wait to show you what using just the panel for a quilt looks like!

The Apricot & Ash panel is available on either a warm white or a dark gray background and what you are seeing is one full repeat.  There are 24 different blocks on one panel. =)

I will be sharing my new patterns to go with this line here soon.  The PDF versions of the patterns are in my shop right now if you’d like to get a sneak peek.  Paper versions of the patterns will be arriving next week.

If you would like to see these fabrics in your local quilt shops, be sure to let them know to order Apricot & Ash.  They can order right now to have these fabrics delivered in August.  Shops haven’t been able to meet with their sales reps as they normally do so I am sure they would appreciate any input their customers might have.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek at my new fabrics. =)  See you tomorrow for another Moda Block Heads block. =)
