I hope Spring has sprung for you! We are still fighting some colder days here in Oklahoma - quite strange for us. However it hasn't stopped us from getting ready for gardening and planting. We've also been keeping busy with all of the new fabric that has been coming in. Take a peek below for a look at what's new at The Quilted Castle!

Pop a wheelie in excitement for Julia Rothman's second fabric collection Ride. This bicycle inspired collection is off the chain with patterns of bicycles, wheels, road signs and much more. Strap on your helmet, peddle straight to your sewing machine and race away to your next sewing project.
We've got another adorable organic collection from Birch called Yay Day! This woodland themed collection features bears, foxes, butterflies, birch trees, polka dots and florals. Colors include something for everyone with pink, aqua, red, orange and cream.
We also carry the Birch Mod Basics that coordinate so well with all of the Birch collections.
Wouldn't you love to make one of these with charm packs?
Classic roses in large, medium and small scales form the base of the collection rounded out by typically vintage motifs of ticking floral stripes and dots. Versatile colors include soft vintage pink, warm taupe, and summer sky blue allow for combinations that range from pale and subtle to fresh and happy.

The Ombre solids were the main focal point in this line. So many ideas come to mind for quilts or apparel since ombre is a very wonderful way to play with color and the different shades just add that much more depth to your design. There is real beauty in simple designs and when you incorporate different shades of the same color in one project there is a subtle radiance that can make a very simple project look breathtaking. Throw in a love of vintage textiles and you get vintage and simple modern encompassed in one line!
There are some fantastic free pattern/tutorials over at Moda Bake Shop. Here are a few of my favorites using fabrics from Simply Color!
The quilt above is called Skittles Quilt. It uses 4 yds and a Charm Pack for the quilt top. Love it!
