This gorgeous second collection adds a wee touch of maturity yet maintains playful charm. Designer, Michelle Engel Bencsko continues to pull reference from nature and the whimsical side of life. With a little nod to Bobby Darin and the mod days of yore, the ever-popular seashore theme is at once idealized and abstracted and can be put to any number of uses. Great for nurseries and all things babies, but also clothing, home decor and accessories.
Beyond the Sea is due to start shipping any day now- should be in shops by early next week. Here's a list of their stockists, so you can choose where to purchase it. Might I add, that one of our other lovely sponsors, Modern Organic Fabrics, will be carrying it soon. Cloud9 is working on opening up a web shop to offer quilt kits and swatch sets. In the meantime, swatch sampler sets are available from their Big Cartel shop.
love this bunting quilt!
On to the give-away! To celebrate this arrival, Cloud9 Fabrics is offering a full set of fat quarters: all 10 patterns (7 prints, 3 solids) to one of you!!
Oh my, that's a lot of incredible organic fabric to play with! Just think of what you could be creating with that delicious stack! Please leave a comment (with your contact info) between now and Tuesday April 13 at 5 pm EST. I'll announce the winner on Wednesday morning. Good luck, friends!
Hi! I've enjoyed subscribing to your blog and seeing all your lovely crafts. I'd like to get into sewing more and some free and gorgeous fabric would be a great place to start.
