ric rac rabbits

Ric rac both bundles-0174

Back from Seattle and now I have 2 posts to share on recent travels, but before I do my studio is small and overflowing with the new fabric that has arrived - so! Ric Rac Rabbit bundles are officially listed in the shop!

I have to say I really, really love how the colors turned out in this collection, so much so I was inspired to put together my first improvised mini quilt, even pieced a heart with the help of Lizzy in her mini quilts class here in LA a few weeks ago. It’s like these are colors you can eat. Do you know what I mean? They remind me of sorbet or ice cream? I combined the Ric Rac Rabbits with some Robert Kaufman Quilter’s Linen {seriously gorgeous, rich colors in this collection - also the kind you want to take a bite of} and Kaffe Fassett solids. I almost sound like I know what I’m doing, comparing fabric to food, sharing fancy fabric suggestions?! what? what am I saying...dinner is in the oven and I think I’m just really hungry right now. #firsttimequilter

Have I told you already? {probably more than once} how much I am enjoying designing fabric. I don’t know - something about going this new direction with my creating and my business makes me so happy. If you know me, then you know how much weight I put on following what makes you happy = a clue that you are headed in the right direction.

If you love these designs even have as much as I do, will be a thrill.

Oh my goodness, I LOVE the mini quilt! It looks great! I made a baby-sized quilt for my first quilt and I still love it, even though it's imperfect and I've made much better quilts since. Beautiful, Marisa!

Those rabbits! So happy to see them in mass production now. Congratulations!
Rabbits in bunny suits. Awesome.
I really love your fabrics! And I've bought the blue,red, lime colorway. But now I'm looking for a cotton quilting thread that match the lime, and my local quilting shop has closed!! Maybe you know a color number that would look good with it?
Thank you!!
Hi Debora - I do not know of a particular green thread color but I can recommend Mettler threads. I almost always find the perfect color in their selection.
Thank you Marisa, I will have a look!
