Betz White recently sent me some of the beautiful fabric from her new line of organic cotton for Robert Kaufman. The fabric is GOTS certified organic quilting cotton. I was impressed by the thickness of the fabric and it has a great feel as well, which you don’t always find in organic quilting fabric. This fabric is perfect for quilting, apparel or home decor projects. And of course I love the geometric shapes and playful stitching motifs.
I decided to make another quick zipper pouch and really wanted to use the hexagons that were just begging to be cut and used as appliqué. I just cut 1/4″ around the shape and sewed them on by hand, overlapping them. I lined the pouch with the zig-zag fabric. If you find that you can’t get enough of chevrons lately, you’ve got to get some of this fabric. Next I plan to make some skirts for my girls. And I think the hexagons would make a fun pillow with reverse appliqué. Just place some fabric over the hexagons and hold it up to a window, trace around the shapes, stitch and cut out to reveal the pattern beneath. And of course you could make a cheater grandmother’s flower garden quilt with this fabric.
You can see all the designs and find out where to buy Stitch here. And be sure to check out some of Betz’s projects with the fabric, as shown below. Plus, you can share photos of your own creations in Betz’s Stitch Flickr group.
Glad you are enjoying the fabrics! Love the hexies on natural, good move. I’m so going to try your rev. applique idea!
very inspiring pictures, thanks for sharing 🙂
