I like fabric. A lot. You probably already new that. But I really like fabric that is bright, colorful and a little different. So when I saw these fabrics by Nesshome they were ordered and promptly arrived on my doorstep. Thank you, online shopping!

| Nesshome - Tulip Festival |
Nesshome is a Korean brand with both a Korean and a Japanese website, both languages with which I am not familiar and so my information about these fabrics is limited. The fabrics pictured are all a medium weight fabric - 55% linen and 45% - extra wide 55 inches, and with a pretty selvage. The above pictured fabric (Tulip Festal) features squares each measuring 3 inches and I image would look great as a whole or fussy cut in a project.

| Nesshome - Flowers Chatting |
The second fabric - Flowers Chatting - is again a cheater print with squares measuring up to 4 inches x 4 inches. This size is perfect for fussy cutting and combining with other prints. And look how many different floral designs!

| Nesshome - Flower Feedsack Panel |
The third fabric is a panel of eight different flower feedsack prints with each print measuring 15.5 inches x 13.5 inches. Again I love the variety of designs and the saturated colors.
Even though these fabrics are somewhat heavier than standard quilting cotton I look forward (and won't hesitate) to incorporate these designs in my quilts. Different fabric weights can and do play nicely together.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita

These fabrics are different and colourful! I love them especially 'flowers chatting' I like to think that happens in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI believe linen often shrinks on washing - shall you prewash them first?
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Karen! I think I will test wash - I purchased 2 panels of the third fabric and will wash one panel and compare with the unwashed panel. I'll document the results here.

Wouldn't those fussy cuts look lovely in a cathedral window? And the Flowers Chatting fabric could just be quilted on its own and call it a day!
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you do with them. Am off to look at Miss Matabi.
ReplyDeleteThose are just gorgeous! I really look forward to seeing what you make with them... I love how the internet opens up a whole wide world of fabric possibilities for us :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely! I really love the Korean textile aesthetic, and I'm really happy you shared your findings with us!
ReplyDeleteIts so nice to see some 'fresh bright' prints! Thanks for sharing and brightening my day! Can't wait to see what you make with them!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics, I've purchased from Hong Kong before and the fabric is always great quality. I've popped onto the etsy shop and will spend more time there later today:)
ReplyDeleteThe shipping costs for me in the Uk are very reasonable sooo my finger may just 'slip' to the buy button. Thanks for sharing.

ooooh gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I would buy that top fabric for the selvedge alone! lol
Just LOVE them all but especially the Tulip Festival! I also collect selvedges and WOW what a beauty! How do costs per metre compare? Love your blog and hang out for your posts :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous! Oooh the possibilities. Fussy cutting or paired with solids, I can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteReally like all the bright colors, especially flowers chatting, looking forward to the finished project.
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics - when I saw this post I'd already ordered a metre of the Flowers Chatting cheater from Frances, and I've just quilted it in to a very lazy baby quilt... the different prints and colours are gorgeous. I think sometimes in cheater cloths the individual prints aren't that great, but in that one pretty much every print could be a stand-alone fabric. And the linen content gives a really lovely weight to the fabric.
