Heather Ross...



If you have ever visited my pasttraditions shop on etsy you will soon find out how much I like her fabric!
My initial love for Heather Ross fabric started when I stumbled across a quilt made with the goldfish prints from the Lightning Bugs and Other Mysteries line. They were soooooo cute! I just had to figure out where to get some of that wonderful fabric! :) So an obsession started. I discovered her fabrics when the Mendocino line was out, so my search began to get all my favorites that were already out of production.

I have a small collection, but of course there is more I still want. Currently I am trying to find some calypso and seagulls. Those two would make my Heather ross blue and beach stash complete. I am working on a quilt for me :) to showcase all of my favorite prints. Each one will be framed in a different Kona cotton. I just put in an order today! I can't wait. :)

Seashells




I finished this quilt today. It features seashells in storm and pacific blues. This quilt would be great for anyone who likes seashells. It features the hard to find caspian fabric in this color from the Neptune line from Tula Pink for Moda on the back. I will be listing this lovey quilt this weekend.

I have been using up some of my fabric stash. No new fabrics are really catching my eye.... I have a few lines I am thinking about though.

More Neptune...







Some pictures of some quilts I have sold using the Neptune line.

Neptune


Ahhhhh.... who does not love the ocean! When this fabric line called Neptune by Tula Pink came out I knew I just had to have it. I have used alot of this fabric. I have a little left in my fabric stash that I will be making into some quilts this week. The cut fabric shown is going to be for The Neptune stroller size rag quilt. Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Dance and Woodland Forest




Here are the latest quilts that I have finished. The blue Summer Dance Lovey Rag Quilt features an adorable and whimsical fabric from Heather Ross' fabric line for Kokka fabrics of Japan. It has cute rabbits, foxes, and frogs enjoying a summer dance. I love the close up of the foxes - so cute! One of my all time favorites! :)
The Woodland Forest Rag Quilt and Mini Lovey Rag Quilt features fabrics from Heather Ross, Amy Butler, and Joel Dewberry. Lots of emerald and mossy greens, twiggy browns, and other fall colors. I will be listing them sometime this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Rain, Rain, go away!


It has been raining all day so I thought I will start a blog! I have been wanting to start one for awhile, but just never got around to it.
I have a little shop on etsy www.pasttraditions.etsy.com where I sell rag quilts of all shapes and sizes. My latest edition is the English Countryside Rag Quilt made with lots of my favorite fabrics by designer Heather Ross.


I have been working on The Woodland Forest Rag Quilt today and will probably finish it up tonight! I will probably get it listed this week. Thanks for stopping by!
