Stuck at home in the snow earlier this week I took the opportunity of taking some pictures of the Posy fabric I was cutting up for a new quilt project. These designs are perfect if you are over the coldness of the weather right now and looking forward to spring arriving (it cannot get here fast enough in my eyes). So if you fancy a fabric stroll through spring, this post is for you.
I'm so happy with the way this line turned out and I can't wait to see what you all do with it. If you need some idea's, here are a few projects I've made with it -
I also used a good amount of Posy mixed up with other fabrics from my stash for my Scrappy Trips quilt.
Yardage of Posy has just started arriving in stores, you can find it at-
As well as many many others.
This will be my last post for a while, things have been a little busy here behind the scenes lately - We are hoping to move house in just a few short weeks and so I'll be taking a little break from writing the blog until all that stressful stuff is done. Until then, I hope you have a fun spring and I look forward to catching up with you very soon :)
Ah, a lovely stroll through spring. Just what I needed on a dreary, gray day.

Its beautiful! So sweet and whimsical. I have just started 'The Farmers Wife' quilt pattern using the little bits of your 'walk in the woods' fabric I have collected over the last year...I will have to snap some photos later :o)

Lovely fabric ~ so creamy and sweet ~ makes me think of an ice cream I really liked as a kid called 50/50's. Especially like the text fabric.
Have a great time getting into your new home ~ very exciting to move, new and fresh start.

I've already got a layer cake and I just ordered some yardage of the bunnies and the sweet floral prints in green and light pink. Those bunnies are so sweet. I always thought Sherbet Pips was my favorite but I think this is!

Good luck with your move I hope it is uneventful and no stress.
Posy is precious! My friend Sally made a sweet quilt tutorial with the fat quarters she got from Sample Spree. I put it in my newsletter this week. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1atfhhQnkMbR2J0Snk1UWRMNkE/edit

too cute! I scored a tiny charm pack from Rossie and have been waiting to make something from it, all the prints are amazing! Going to have to order some george bunnies for sure. :)

i love your collections, too bad the fabric store near by my home always late to bring your collections, and if they bring to the store never with complete collection. I need to purchase online *well sometime way too expensive, but it is what it is :)
by the way, finally I got your book from Amazon the prize was awesome :)

Here's to a successful move.

I lovelovelove this fabric. It is by far my favorite that you have released yet (and that is saying a lot.). I just ordered a fat quarter bundle today...yardage will have to wait a bit, though. Jeez I hope it doesn't sell out!!
Posted by: Kimberly | 01/25/2013 at 01:35 AM
Oh it's so cute - can't wait to see it in real life! I'll be on the lookout! My local quilt shops tend to carry your fabric, yay!
Posted by: kristin | 01/25/2013 at 05:52 AM
I am completely head over heels in love with your new fabric!
Now you have to start thinking about something for the boys! :D

Good luck with your move! Hope you have a great sewing spot in the new house. I just bought a layer cake of your Walk in the Woods line..can't wait to start on it!

Dear Aneela--I so very much love your designs, fabric, embroidery and blog. Whenever I want a break or change from the absolute loudness and rudeness of life in these days, I only have to visit your blog. Your designs-the embroidery and the fabric are just so gentle and hopeful. My daughter and I have both talked about how "sweet" your work is. It is so wonderful to see sweet, gentle and loving things. I am not an old woman--late fifties, but I can so appreciate a spot/blog to visit and feel joyful and hopeful. It reminds me so much of how wonderful life is when a baby is born into a family. So thanks so much for your gentle/kind/lovely fabric, patterns and designs. It is my hope and prayer for abundant blessings on you, your precious daughters and husband.
God bless You and yours--you have blessed us.

Such lovely projects! I just bought a couple of charm packs of Posy to make a baby quilt for my brand new baby girl, it's perfectly sweet for her!

Hi Aneela, the Posy collection is so adorable. As soon as I have seen it, I knew I had to make a quilt with it :) Which I did for my friend's niece - as I have a little boy.
That quilt has brought the spring to my house and to my mind. Thank you very much!

Hi, Aneela. I miss your charming posts!
I keep wanting a friend or relative to have a baby girl so I can make a quilt with my Posy charm pack. :)
