homestead blog hop {plus a giveaway}

Hello everyone,

welcome to my stop celebrating release of Homestead fabric by Emily Isabella for Birch Fabrics.  

This adorable collection is available both as organic poplin and organic knit. It was my first time working with Birch organic poplin so I was not sure what to expect. I had no idea I was in for such a treat. This fabric is soft, drapes beautifully, and is a dream to sew with. Plus, it's organic!!! Which I really, really love.


I chose Daisy Bed Sun and Daisy Bed Storm for my projects. I combined these beautifully soft flowers on yellow background with solid gray fabric for the front of my pillow, and saved the navy print for the back.



I quilted both front and back of the pillow cover in a grid  pattern, my lines are about 1/2" apart as I love the texture this kind of quilting adds to finished projects.


And, since I still had some fabric left once my pillow was made, I went ahead and made a Lola pouch (pattern here) and the most adorable wooden base pincushion (inspired by this beauty).  I so love how these turned out.
