Patchwork Lining

Flower Patch Floral Tote Bag

This post contains affiliate links.

You know what's coming this month (besides all the usual November stuff...)???  A new fabric collection designed by Crystal Manning for Moda and it has a bunch of really great prints I think you are going to love! 

First off, go here to take a peek at all the fabrics in the Rosa collection.  Lots of pretty stuff, huh? 

This collection is inspired by "Central American tribal patterns, weaves and embroidery".  If you're a fan of Mexican folk embroidery, you'll find these prints are just your type too.

There's a nice range of print sizes from small scale florals up to some of the larger motifs like in 11820 (wow, that one is a beauty!). The world needs more small scale packed floral prints, so thank you Crystal for providing this Flower Patch print to decrease the world wide deficit of tiny flower fabrics. 

The Rosa collection is shipping to quilt shops this month. It looks like retailers will receive it around the 22nd. 

If you like this collection, make sure to ask about it at your local quilt shop or favorite online fabric store.  A couple of them are available pre-sale at a few etsy shops and other online stores are likely offering pre-sale fabric or an email message when the fabrics have arrived.

A few of these prints will probably go really fast--like these swallows--so don't forget to watch for them in stores and get your yardage ASAP.  It always hurts a little to miss out on the ones you really love because you thought you'd order it "later", but later was too long!  

P.S. The bag shown is the same as this one if you are looking for pattern info.

Elaine Barkcloth Zipper Pouch

My, oh my, this fabric is so beautiful!  I can't bear to let any scrap go unsewn, so here is another small zipper pouch in this gorgeous barkcloth fabric called Elaine from the Outback Wife collection by Gertrude Made for Ella Blue.  This pouch has sold, but check this section to see if there is another available in this fabric. 

This fabric has been out for a bit now, and pickings are getting slim for where to find it online, but here are a couple places where it is currently still in stock:

• Stash Fabrics has it here.
• Red Thread Studio has it here.

The zip pull is like this one, but the shorter version mentioned in the post (4" high fabric).  It does get a little harder making it shorter, but it's still totally doable and for this small pouch, it seemed like the right choice. 

To see the two other zip pouches I made with this fabric, check out this post.

And don't forget to stop by the Gertrude Made blog post about the namesake for this particular print!

Panda Love Floral

This post contains affiliate links.

This print is new to me and I love it!  So far it's been used for three cord keepers and also as a patch in a very bright patchwork tote bag (coming soon). 

The color is great, the floral print is cute, but not too cutesy, and the background has a light cross hatch pattern. 

It's from the Panda Love collection by Kelly Panacci for Riley Blake.  It comes in three colorways (wish I'd ordered them all!) and it looks like maybe a pink colorway is also coming out this month.

If you want to get this one too, it's currently available in the three colors below.  The links below are to the shop where I ordered this fabric on etsy. It was my first time shopping with Cali Quilt Co. and the shipping was super fast and everything went smoothly.  I'll shop with them again in the future.  Cute Little Fabric Shop also has all three colors available. 

• Red
• Black
• Aqua

The other floral in this collection is nice too.  The pandas are cute as well and would be great for making something for the kids.  Click here to see more of the prints in this collection.
