Houston Here I Come and Timeless treasures Fabric create REAL Art

I wanted to show you the quilt I made for Timeless treasures fabric manufacturer. They sent me fabric from three different lines and I decided to do a story quilt about Giverney the beautiful gardens in Paris. I visited there about five years ago and it was amazing.

Joila! A French girl with blue eyes, such fun. My neighbor brought over the earring and the broach.

Here is the quilt in it's entirety...so fun and so colorful...I am putting it in my entry hall once it is Spring!

O wanted you to see the pretty pearls on the bouquet because they came from Isle d La Sorgue (I am sure I spelled that wrong) but some of you might recognize the name of a fabulous flea market destination. For a French story quilt it was the perfect touch.

All gardens need a birds nest or two.....
Solids and tone on tones and light givers and French styled fabrics add up to a fun combination! I have noticed that Timeless Treasures does alot of these print stle fabrics that make sure wonderful backgrounds! This is the fifth quilt I have done like this with their fabrics and I have two more in the works! If you are not looking at the end of the bolt, you should be. Many fabric companies are printing inferior and cheap cotton goods. If you hold a fabric to the window and can see through it don't buy it!
Timeless Treasures does a great job with cotton and it is nice to work with.
One of these days I am going to list four companies that I buy my goods from and why. You should know what you are buying and where is is being printed.  If you have taken a class from me you know this is important for all of us.

Also, GOOD prints equal GOOD quilts....don't buy stiff fabrics because the dye is still in them! Yuck.

A Lemonade quilt I did with ALL Timeless Solids....a fun memory for my daughter and her best friend in second grade

I also wanted to show you this little "short" story quilt. If you can tell the background in lettering. Each fabric in here is Timeless Treasures goods and they were such fun to work with....add a little embroidery floss and some buttons and you have something quite wonderful.
    I am off to Houston for Quilt Market and I am going to take dozens...maybe hundreds of photos...stay tuned for more ideas and good advice.
Take care dear friends and thank you for dropping by and especially if you are commenting which I LOVE.
