I am happy to admit, it's been pretty great waking up on a daily basis since April 1 with anticipation of what I was going to see on the Shimmer Blog Hop. 
Kinda like Christmas in Spring—17 days in a row…I am officially spoiled now. 

And blown away with the variety of things that these talented women made with my Shimmer Fabric Collection. In case you didn't see all the projects, here's the overview!  They have more fabulous pictures on their blogs so check them out if you haven't already.

 Sixteen projects that you can be inspired by and/or make for your own home!

Thank you to all who have participated in this hop and to Robert Kaufman for so generously donating 17 giveaway charm packs and the BIG FAT Q PACK! Welcome to all the new folks who have joined my mailing list and to those who have been following me since my first post last year. I have enjoyed your comments and read every single one
(usually after the kids have gone to bed). 

Finally, Shimmer is a collection that is subtle and so luscious in real life. The pictures don't really do it justice especially because the slight change in value, light and color is almost impossible to catch on film. Please go to your local quilt shop to see the fabric or treat yourself  by ordering a precut of the entire line to make something really special for yourself or a loved one.  You Shimmer, I Shimmer, We'll all Shimmer together, I promise!

I will draw a name on Monday 4/21/14 from my mailing list (you have three more days to sign up!) for the lucky person who wins the entire collection in Fat Quarters!! 
UPDATE! 4/22. CONGRATULATIONS TO SUSAN RYAN from Odessa WA for winning the FQ Pack!! 
Also CONGRATULATIONS TO: Rachel Ferrera (TX), Janet Sanders(AR), Jill Jackson(AK), Heather Karr (OR), Claudia Shearer (CA), Tyler Freburger (PA), Lisa England (KY), Michele Tinker (OH), Susan Newsom (MI) Lynne Tilley (TX), Connie Cain (OR), Nancy Sumner (CA), Sarah Clark (PA), Diane Beavers (VA) and Serena Edwards of AUSTRALIA!!

Thank-You, Jennifer, for such an inspiring blog hop - I had never done one of these and really enjoyed being introduced not only to you via your blog but also all of the others' blogs included here. Also, your Shimmer fabric design is lovely and inspiring - the colours and patterns really speak to me. I look forward to receiving your newsletter updates, now that I have joined your list.
Cheers from Calgary, Alberta - Canada

Beautiful fabric, I really enjoyed A variation of Road to Tennessee and the modern lap quilt by Pretty Bobbins, all are such great inspiration. But I am more likely to make a pillow or zippered pouch, I am just in awe of the quilts.

Like you, I could not wait for each day to reveal another possibility with the Shimmer fabric collection. I'm truly going to miss it each day but my inspiration is at it's highest ever! Gift for me first as I've ordered the jacquard in Steel and with some Linen from my stash will make the Washi tunic. Next it's the Dawn and Dusk pillows, for me too :) It's the perfect set for my movie watching couch. My inspiration will keep me spinning for more..once I get my hands on it to feel the Shimmer. We all SHIMMER!

That's an impressive array of Shimmer projects! I can only imagine that they all look more beautiful in person when you can see light shimmering off the fabrics.

Love your fabric though have not seen them in person(saw crazy mom quilts, and oh fransonn's on their websites and their projects intrigued me and piqued my curiosity. Would live for a chance to feature them myself in a project. Meanwhile I will explore your barite and dream.

Exquisite! I just opened my mailbox and my Shimmer prints have arrived OMG! How soft, how pearly, how gorgeous.
I'm cutting the bodice to my Washi tunic now , out of the Stone color story in the jacquard print #155.
I will need more and more, I'm hooked. THANK YOU Jennifer for your inspiration.

Gorgeous!!!
My question is... Does the shimmer stay after multiple washings? I would think it would, but I'm curious before I design a project using it.

HI Sewfrench,
Yes the pearlescent print stays on after multiple washings as I have worn the amelia dress and already washed it five times and it looks great. In order to get maximum use out of any cotton printed fabric, best to wash in cold water with mild detergent and although you can toss it in the dryer, best to hang dry.
