Fabric Collection Review: Moda Sultry by Basicgrey

Basicgrey is traditionally a paper design company that branched out and introduced their Sultry paper line into fabric for Moda. I ordered a charm pack that consisted of all 40 selections in this particular line, and frankly, I feel most of these designs translated very well for use in the sewing room.

Check out the entire collection online HERE at the Fat Quarter Shop.

In this collection you will find botanical prints and smooth geometrics that have a wonderful range that can please the palates of fans of shabby chic to whimsy to contemporary sleek. The color palette of Raspberry, Vanilla, Chocolate and Pistachio hues mesh very well with current trends. The only snag I had, however, was that I was left wanting in the chocolate-hued category. There were very few selections that were of a predominantly brown design. To someone who blends and harmonizes fabrics in projects such as me, (and those millions of quilters out there especially) the lack of a few more balancing darks in this fabric family does leave me wanting (just a tad). But overall, this truly is an interesting collection.

I'm in Fabric Heaven!

Much to the behest of my poor, dear, little husband, I had a fabric addict relapse moment and splurged on 7 (Yes, I said SEVEN) various Moda Charm Pack collections from CharmPacksPlus on Friday night and received them in the afternoon post today. CharmPacksPlus is having a FREE SHIPPING special during the month of May, so plop on down over there and get your fix.

I believe I am going to have one of those moments like you see in those drug-mogul movies where they dump their looty booty out on a table and roll around in it...but in fabric.

*Oh yessss, it feels so luscious on my skinnn*

I plan on reviewing each collection in depth here on the blog.

Special thanks to Rodrigo the wooden mannequin for his displaying talents!

Dumplings and such.

I've been working on a new and more affordable style of softie to put in my shop and yesterday I believe I may have found a decent match, because it is hellaciously cute but not so cute that it will cause me to lose some of my street cred, (because you know, street cred is tres important and we can't be flitting about without any in our pockets, now, can we?). Okay, maybe they are that cute and I never had said cred in the first place.

They remind me of a mix between onigiri (rice balls) and awesome.
