Sunday Stash #173 - Micro Mod by Rob Bancroft


Micro Mod is Rob Bancroft's debut collection for Cloud 9 Fabrics.  Micro Mod is a collection of 12 fabrics featuring a set of retro-inspired geometric prints on a intimate scale; 7 small scale designs in not necessarily a masculine palette - black, grey, teal, purple, and a touch of rusty orange and mustard yellow.

Seaweed in Teal, Vertigo in Teal, Tick Tock in White, Night Vision in Teal

Seaweed in Purple, Vertigo in Purple, Tick Tock in Teal
Hey look!  Some much need purple fabrics for my stash.  

Arches in Grey, Library, Arches in Black, Night Vision in Black, and Zombie.

Micro Mod is a modern -100% Certified Organic - graphic collection that immediately appealed to my eye for clear pattern and color.  I am particularly drawn to the black/white fabrics (pictured above), which will  compliment my stash perfectly.  The purple fabrics will be my challenge prints.  I do like the color purple but  continue to struggle to use purple in my quilts.

Enjoy Sunday!
Rita

    I think they appear a little on the masculine side, however its nice that it is after all the flowery stuff. The guys have suffered LONG enough! LOL!

    The fabric has a mid sixties vibe.... the decade, not the age of course. My mother sewed everything I wore and I had a blinding flashback when I gazed at the three palettes. I'm pretty sure my feet rose briefly off of the floor.
    You are an artist and I am always inspired and delighted by your quilts. Thankyou, thankyou for sharing.

    It is hard to believe how patterns and colors come back into style. I love the teal.

    Funny, I just bought the purples because I was low(none) to choose from

    They are very quirky, quite masculine prints, I would really struggle to know how to show them off best, I have no doubt they'll look beautiful no matter what you do with them.

    A bit of a departure with respect to the colorway from what I usually see here, it will be interesting to see what you create with this set. I love the interesting designs of the fabrics and the colors, can't wait to purchase as many of this set as I can find!
