Whites
Hey there! How's the week going?
One of our customers asked for a comparison of the different Bella neutrals that we carry, specifically the white and porcelain. So I snapped a photo and thought I'd share here as well.
The snow on the far left is more ivory and yellow-based compared to the porcelain (middle), which is in between the snow (far left) and the white bleached (far right).
The porcelain goes great with a lot of the lines by Bonnie & Camille like Vintage Modern. It's not as harsh as a bright white but is also not too "warm" either. We always try to include the coordinating Bellas we carry along with the prints in each collection in the shop so it makes matching easy.
What's your favorite solid to use for sashing and background of blocks?

Twisted Flowers
Hi y'all! Happy Wednesday! I am so in denial about tomorrow being the last day of this teacher's summer break. :-/ "Back to the real world..."
Anyway, since we are challenging you to add texture for our current Stitch & Share Challenge, I thought I'd show you another recent project I made that incorporated texture.
For this pillow, I used Vanessa's technique for these messy flowers. I signed up for the Craftsy class, but I think they are also in her book. There are lots of similar tutorials online, but you're sewing as you go instead of hot gluing them down.
I will be honest and tell you that my original intention was to flower the whole thing ... but I was running out of fabric and more importantly out of time. (Notice the pins at the bottom of the pillow... I hand stitched it closed on the way to the housewarming party! Anyone else do that!?)
While taking these photos, I realized red is a pain to photograph well. But I think you get the idea. The whole thing was made with Bella Country Red. I hand stitching some pearl beads to the centers and I think that really ups the ante on this from pretty to even prettier.
A few days after gifting it, my friend shared that it was already being enjoyed. :-)
So, ready to add some texture to something yet? I have a few more ideas to show you before the end of the challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today.
