I really have not done much of anything this week other than make zipper pouches. Taking down Christmas and trying to get all that put away has taken up more time. I did discover that while I have loads of wall hangings and table runners in spring, summer, and fall prints and colors winter themes are zero. So why not take a bit of a trip to my local quilt stores.
So, time to make a couple of winter table runners. I think this red print is my favorite. I did realize that winter colors are not easy to find anything though. Not much out there to work with.

That red print is gorgeous! I've never thought what winter colors really are. Maybe blue and white, black and brown, gray and blue? . Looking forward to seeing what you put together.
ReplyDeleteYour new fabrics are lovely. Those will make great projects. I had a bit of a fabric binge on Black Friday. I've been trying not to buy more fabric. Oops.
ReplyDeleteZipper pouches are the best! My daughter has made me several and quite a few of them have vinyl fronts – which I love! Your fabric combinations are beautiful! I can see how those bottom fabrics would be amazing backgrounds! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI like those background fabrics too. I think the shops start carrying a lot of winter prints about July. They may have sold out in your local shop.
ReplyDeleteI also like your style of background fabrics. I would have chosen those, too. I found you through Slow Sunday Stitching. Good luck with your Christmas-themed projects!
ReplyDeleteThose are great background pieces. That type of background makes for such visual interest. Awesome choices!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabrics! I Love that red print too.
ReplyDeleteYou found some beautiful fabrics! But I'm curious as to what will be your Centre Block for the SAHRR '25? And thank you for linking to the party!
ReplyDeleteNice selection of fabrics/colors. Thanks for sharing in my Sew & Tell party.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find inspiration in your recent fabric haul. There are some great ones.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics! They should make beautiful table runners for Winter. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

All beautiful and you'll make them even more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
I love that red too. And I do love those neutral backgrounds in the last photo! Thanks for joining us at Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteYour new fabrics are lovely, all of them! I really can't say which one is my favorite! The neutrals are very pretty too, a perfect background for lovely appliqué ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, and linking up.
Those last fabrics will be awesome for applique backgrounds. You just may have planted a seed here , lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Donnalee, I'm not sure what winter colours are, more what they're not! Those are lovely fabrics and I'm sure that you'll have fun. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun shopping. Some great finds.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun when a new project idea means you need to go "enhance the stash"! I was never a big blue and white fan until I realized it's a great "winter" color combo, now I can't get enough of it. Maybe use your reds combined with black, white, gray and a touch of yellow in honor of winter Cardinal birds. Love those Tim Holtz backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you regarding the red print!!! I also like those low volume fabrics that you purchased for appliqué backgrounds. What a fun outing you had! I look forward to seeing the table runners that you complete!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reason to HAVE to go shopping! That red is going to be a grand fabric to work with, so many possibilities. Have fun!
