New Sponsor and GIVEAWAY: Online Fabric Store


This giveaway is now closed. The winner is #60 sherryberrybim

Hello hello! I wanted to introduce you to my new sponsor, Online Fabric Store! Before I talk about some of the features of Online Fabric Store, I want to show you a project that I made with some fabrics that came from them yesterday!

I decided to make a 60″ x 60″ minky quilt for my son. We already have a minky-backed patchwork quilt that we use while sitting on the couch, and it’s super comfortable. I was teaching at my local quilt shop a couple of weekends ago, and they had a shop sample that was a baby-sized minky quilt that was made with strips of fabric in the quilt-as-you-go method. I decided to make a similar quilt for my son, although much larger.

I used 1-2/3 yard of gray chevron minky for the backing, and the front of the quilt was made using 6″ strips of various minky textures (smooth, swirl, dot). I used spray baster and tons of pins to keep the minky in line, adding one strip at a time (right sides together) through all layers (including backing and batting). When I was finished with the quilting, I squared it up and used a cotton blender from Art Gallery Fabrics for the binding.

This is the softest and most comfortable quilt in the house! This minky quilt would be the perfect baby shower gift if made smaller, and Online Fabric Store has a huge variety, which you can see all of right here.

So! Besides the minky that I used for my project, there is a big selection of other types of fabrics. The decorator weight section is very large, and I also checked out some of the faux leather, like the above. I think it would be cool experimenting with different leather textures like this in a bag.

There is also a quilting fabric section, complete with quilt batting. My favorite is the Alexander Henry section because they have some great novelty fabrics, but there is also a good amount of Amy Butler and Joel Dewberry fabrics as well.

Most of the quilting fabrics were at $8.90 per yard, which is very reasonable, and if you combine that with the free shipping over $50, you can fill some great things in your cart and get that free shipping.

So, if you feel like a little fabric browsing, stop over at Online Fabric Store and see what they have available! You can also sign up for their newsletter, like them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!
