Fabric Friday:  Heather Ross’s Mendocino (out of print)

I promise it won’t always be out of print fabrics, there are just a couple of fabrics that REALLY caught my eye when I first started and I wanted to make sure I covered those.  And OH BOY was Mendocino one of them.

I started seeing small things made out of Heather Ross’s Mendocino line when the FIRST line came out (the orange/brown version here) back in 2008.  It was my first time really seeing modern designer fabric and I was SMITTEN.  I wasn’t quite quilting yet, but it definitely sparked my interest.  Fast forward to several years later:

I am not aware of how often this happens, I am still a bit murky on the fabric industries ins and outs, but in 2016 they re-released Mendocino in new colors, and it was SO GOOD y’all!  So these purple/watermelon/etc. examples are all of the SECOND line of Mendocino (sorry if topless mermaids are a no-no).  In my opinion, it’s still one of my favorite lines and I’ve seen a lot of beautiful creations with it.

My Week in Commodities

It’s been a long time, my friends out there in the wild tech world!  I am so sorry for taking such a hiatus.  I am pleased to be back here, sharing the love of simplicity and function with you!  There have been so many changes in my life since I last posted that I thought I’d restart my experience here with something “easy”, photographs of the commodities I love enough to fill my little home with.

I’ve always wanted to be part of a swap and finally, for the first time in years, I feel like I finally have enough sewing time that I feel confident committing to a swap. When I saw a Heather Ross one open a few months ago, I jumped right in!
