Sugarcreek Quilt Patterns Part 2

Today it’s time to share the quilts made with just the Sugarcreek Wovens fabric.

I have been buying woven fabric for years.  And I bet a lot of you have too if you have been making quilts for a while…do you have any homespuns in your fabric collection?  They would be a woven fabric.  Wovens are fabrics where the design of the fabric is created by weaving dyed threads rather than printing onto the surface of the fabric.

I don’t have a lot of homespuns in my stash–although I have some.  One of my first quilts was a Yellow Brick Road quilt using homespuns.  Raise your hand if you’ve made a Yellow Brick Road quilt. =)

What I have found myself collecting though, are the wovens, with the little stitchy bits.  Ones that look like they have been quilted or ones with little textured bits of fabric.  Unfortunately, the fabrics I have been purchasing often don’t work in the quilts that I am making.  I loved them but they just didn’t work with the palettes that I like working with.  But I just couldn’t stop buying them because they are so pretty.

So, last summer, after I had just purchased more pretty, stitchy little woven fabrics.  I considered the possibility of having a woven collection made to coordinate with the colors that I love.  And here we have it, the Sugarcreek Wovens collection.  All of those little stitchy bits in my favorite warm color palette.  They are just itching to be added to your quilts.

The quilts made using these fabrics are wonderfully light weight with a beautiful drape.  The fabrics are softer to work with than quilting cottons so I gave them a bit more starch as I was piecing.

I’ve designed two, simple to piece quilts using just the Sugarcreek Wovens.  Up first is Pound Cake.

This is a layer cake friendly quilt pattern.  The wovens are available in Fat Quarter bundles, layer cakes, and charm squares.  The quilt finishes at 60″ x 74″.

One of my favorite prints from the wovens is the little plus print.  I used the gray plus print for the background fabric on this quilt.  It is a delightful background.  I’ve used nearly all of my yardage up on this print and now I need to wait until the fabric is available to have some more.  I can see myself using this fabric quite a bit in the future.

David of Quilting By David quilted this quilt for me.  And I couldn’t be happier with it.

And the second quilt I designed for the wovens is Poppyseed.

Poppyseed uses 18 fat quarters which just happens to be the number of fat quarters in a Sugarcreek Wovens bundle. =)  I wanted a quick to piece patchwork quilt with larger pieces.  And Poppyseed is the end result.  The quilt finishes at 69″ x 83″.  David also quilted this quilt for me.

The colors and textures are just so good.  I can’t wait to make more quilts and projects using these fabrics!

Both Poppyseed and Pound Cake are available in my Etsy shop in either Paper or PDF format.  Use code FREESHIP on purchases of 2+ patterns to receive free shipping.

And here’s one more little project I made using the wovens, some Moda Black Cross Weave, and one of my favorite Sugarcreek prints.

This is the Maker’s Tote pattern by Noodlehead.  I was so excited with how it turned out.  This bag will be traveling with me to Quilt Market next week.  I always like to make a new bag out of each new fabric line.  If you’d like to try this bag pattern, you will find it for sale here.

If you have any questions about the woven fabrics, leave it in the comments.  I usually respond directly to comments via email but I’ll leave my comments right on the post in case it helps any one else out!
