These are from Kokka Fabrics, and are part of their new range called Echino Spring. They are called Purple Forest, Aqua Forest and Grey Forest.In keeping with the overall color theme here, these also fitted nicely in the Priority Envelope:
These fabrics are from left to right - Alexander Henry (Livingston Seagull - grey), Moda Cake Rock Beach (Water Honeycomb), Kaufman Essex Linen (Putty) and Rowan Fabrics (Shot Cotton in Grape).
The Rowan Shot cotton (in Grape) is an absolute favorite. It is hard to see in this picture but it is a two toned solid woven fabric with purple and red threads.
As you can see I have a little grey obsession at the moment. I think a lot of quilts will benefit from a touch of grey/gray. It does wonders for highlighting other fabrics.
I have always liked grey and it goes with most other colours. Great grouping you have.
ReplyDeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteI just bought some of this:

Lovely! Thank you, you have just given me a bit of confidence to add the grey I was thinking about putting in a red/pink/white quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny - I've just recently started to think about gray! All of your new fabrics are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love that purple! Lucky you had extra space in the envelope to fill!
ReplyDeletei'm a fan of cake rock beach... it has a much different feel that many collections out these days.
ReplyDeleteJust luvverly - stop teasing, lol!

Rita,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the great quilting advice you left on my blog (which of course I took!), it was a lovely surprise to hear from you as I just love your quilts and has helped me get past my mental block :-)
I'm a big fan of mushroom grey and natural linen. I can't wait to see what you make from these.
Susie
totally agree with the grey, love your choices!!!
ReplyDeleteYes , grey is a great colour , I wear heaps of it !
ReplyDeleteWill be waiting to see how you use it .
Love the honeycomb and that grey linen looks beautiful! Don't you just love priority envelopes?!?
ReplyDeletethink I am finally going to have to stop in this shop next time I am in NYC
ReplyDeleteOH I wish I could go to the show too!, maybe I need a fabric shopping trip as well
I agree with you on the grey. I'm currently crocheting a ripple shawl with lots of berry and pink and the very occasional grey. On its own, it looks dull but the neighbouring pinks bring out its shine. Interestingly enough the word grey is derived from the medieval version of "shimmering" - sounds about right, doesn't it?
ReplyDeletebeautiful fabrics! i especially enjoyed the title, "stash enhancement". :)
ReplyDeleteThey are fantastic colors. Together they will be wonderful in a quilt. Looking forward to seeing what your will create.
ReplyDeletethese are so pretty and such a nice consolation.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I wish I could see some of these locally. I would love to see all the Shot cotton colors.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used any grey yet - I'll have to give it a try.
Never been a big gray fan but you are making me rethink. :)
ReplyDeleteI love ordering from Purl Soho, they are fantastic with international shipping.
ReplyDeleteIf it were me I would be adding a touch of yellow to that mix too. Love that shot cotton!
I'm in love with Grey too! So much, in fact, that I painted my kitchen a light grey and its perfect :-) Awesome new additions to your stash!
ReplyDeleteTrying to resist buying the dots from the cake rock beach line...the shot cotton is a favorite. Kathy at Pink Chalk Studios has some at a great price.
