Despite the relentless heat the postman delivered a fabric parcel today. Yes! Taking pictures of fabric is productive - ahh yes?
Rouenneries by French General for Moda
Inspired by old French reds and naturals, this fabric collection for Moda by designer French General is a peek into the rural life the mid 18th century France. The word Rouenneries has it origins from the woven cotton fabrics made in 18th century Rouen France.
My favorite!
Some of these were purchased online at Rossville Quilts and more at my local fabric store GJ's Discount Fabrics in Brunswick. These fabrics are way outside of comfort zone, but I was drawn to them, especially the turkey reds, and will challenge myself to hopefully do something interesting with them.
Just have fun - you'll make something fabulous!
ReplyDeletethose are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely addition and I found this range to be quite soft.
ReplyDeleteI have been considering accumulating some of these myself--thanks for reminding me :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics and I am sure you will figure out something smashing to make with them!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time cutting such pretty fabrics though!!!
I love this colleciton of fabric, can't wait to see what you make.

ReplyDeleteYay another Rouenneries club member hehe I love the entire line... soooo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYep ... lovely to work with , very fine to the touch.
ReplyDeleteI am working with some just now.
I'll wait impatiently to see how you use it !
Those are outside your normal range. I'm excited to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteI know it's gorgeous and the colours and quality is wonderful. I'm getting more and more tempted everytime I see the fabric on blogs.
ReplyDeleteWow these are so out of your usual range of happy brights. They are really lovely though, I can't wait to see what you are going to do with them.
ReplyDeleteMmm, these are beautiful - the colours are great.
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at them, thinking 'I need these, I'm sure' then not quite sure what I'd do with them. They're gorgeous aren't they? But outside my comfort zone too.
ReplyDeleteIt was only a matter of time! Lovely stuff...!
ReplyDeleteI like what I did with mine - but I love that my top is done without any leftovers!
ReplyDeleteOooh, very pretty! I'm looking forward to see what fun goody your create!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful fabrics and not enough time!
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait to see what you do with it! I have to say that line isn't drawing me...I love the linen look, and I can totally see it in certain styles of decor, but I'm just not loving it.
ReplyDeleteWatch, I'll decide I love it just about the time it completely sells out! :)
I delved into this line the other day and have been rewarded with beautiful selvedges to boot! Just gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorites in the new ranges also.
ReplyDeleteAnd GJ's used to be the store I visited most regularly before I had 3 years of chronic fatigue and was no longer game to drive that far alone.
What is the specific name of the gorgeous red fabric that you stated was your "favorite"? I would also like some of that in my stash, it took my breath away. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you! I love that you love the collection - let me know if you ever want to do a give-away and I will send you some of our new Holiday 2010 line - Lumiere de Noel.
ReplyDeleteMerci-
