I thought I would share with you some fabric I picked up while I was in Tahoe this past weekend. Here are a nice selection of black/whites with some cool colors:
Plus some batik:
and I also love this fabric by one of my favorite designers:
I just love the layering in the fabric above! I think if I made fabric, I would layer textures and colors like this.
I also picked up these patterns. The birdy one was given to me by Vicki Finchum (thanks Vicki!!) and the other I bought at the quilt store:
One of the projects I worked on was to make leaves with Mokuba Freelace:
I also made some fabric with texture using the mokuba freelace. Here are fat quarter trimmings from my local quilt store (they kindly save them for me) which are ready for stitching:
Watch for my mokuba freelace tutorial- coming soon!! I also have a phone number for where to buy this product.
That’s all for now. I have more to share tomorrow, plus I am busy quilting away this week! Oh yes, I also finished some more projects while up in Tahoe, too, to show you.
Happy Creating! Carla
oh man. i have been throwing away those fat quarter trimmings.
i didn’t know that i was supposed to be saving them!
i’ll do better in the future, i can’t wait to see what you do with them!
OK Carla — where do I get some of that fabric? The blue/green orange with dragonfly??? YUM YUM

Hi Barb, this is the same artist as the fabric you used in piecing my quilt. Yummy, isn’t it??
lots and lots of yummy stuff — can’t wait for the tutorial!!
Ooooo. Yummy fabrics!
I love all your fabrics Carla.
Great stuff! I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with the trimmings.
Fat quarter trimmings????? Waste not want not! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. The leaf looks really cool as well.
So, who is the designer of the fabric with the dragonfly???
Karen
Love that leaf! Can’t wait to see your textured fabric from the trimmings, and your tutorial. I haven’t heard of this technique/product.
I love the leaf. I can’t wait to see how to do this. Beautiful fabrics too.
