Spring Shimmer Fabric Party!

Spring Shimmer Video: Enter my Art Barn and see what's BLOOMIN'

I'm having a virtual party right here, right now! Kick your slippers up and watch my video. Shipping worldwide as I write this, Spring Shimmer is supported by patterns and projects designed specifically for this collection and I can finally share them with you here. There are 26 shimmery cotton prints and my design inspiration showcased in the video. Plus 8 projects highlighted in the lookbook, and they are gorgeous...Sure to get you in the mood to start dreaming of honey bees, butterflies and warm sunny days. With all the goodness in video and lookbook, it's too much to digest all the details in just one post, so here's the plan:
1. Video highlights entire collection and design inspo plus the Kona/Essex Coordinate Precut Bundles. Purchase here.
2.Lookbook filled with 8 projects to get your creative thoughts stoked. Each pattern has info where to purchase and fabrics/yardage needed. Please support these wonderful makers who work so hard on very tight deadlines to make this available to you. Most of us are super small businesses and rely on your patronage. Makers listed here: Assembly Line tunic, Rachel Rossi Tiny Dancer, Noodlehead Poolside Tote, Hello Stitch Five Star. Then Came June also put together a wonderful blog post about her Shimmer Paper Cuts Quilt.
3. Future blog posts will show projects in more detail to help you create with ease.
4. If you are a shop and want to jumpstart your classes, kits, or need details a bit more quickly, email me at jennifersampou@gmail.com and I will get you info to be successful with your planning.

This lookbook was so fun to put together and FULL of ideas, inspiration and info about the makers and fabrics used. If you are a shop and buy wholesale, please get in touch with Robert Kaufman to purchase bolts and precuts.

Hey MOM! Put that Log Cabin Star Quilt down so I can lay on it-

Log Cabin Star Quilt will be highlighted and detailed in next post! It's soooo hard to wait! I'll hurry up;)

Literally was just looking to see if this fabric was in stock yet when your email popped into my inbox! Looking forward to making the quilt from Then Came June using Spring Shimmer and also possibly using the butterflies for a quilt back. Such beautiful colors.

Denny- its been a while since I made a log cabin and doing the STAR version was a first for me. So satisfying to make :). Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend.

Can't wait to order a stack of your latest Shimmer line to play with. I'm loving the idea of using some Sky Ombre with your Shimmer Spring collection! I'm seeing butterflies flying across Sky Ombre...

I loved your video lookbook Jennifer your fabrics are my absolute favorites!! I love that all of your collections can mix-and-match but unfortunately I never have any left over between the collections to put them together because I love them so much I so with all of them!! I never can seem to find any extras online because they always sell out which is a testament to how many people love your fabrics. I don’t use any social media but I do want to tell you that I am always complemented on the projects I make with your fabrics thank you.
