Foundation Fabric Blog Tour Recap
All good things must come to an end and today is that day for the Foundation Fabric Blog Tour. The fabric will be out in stores in March/April, so be sure to look for it and share any projects you make!
Now, let's recap all the amazingness that happened these last two weeks. Some talented makers really put their all into some amazing projects. I am blown away by all the quilts, bags, pouches, chill pills, placemats, wallets and shelves, all made with Foundation. It was two weeks stuffed full of inspiration! If you weren't able to keep up with all of them, no worries! We are going to quickly recap with links here, so you can go see them all again! It has been a dream come true to see what people will make with my fabric and I hope to keep seeing projects in the near future! All the project photos were taken and belong to the makers.
Giucy Giuce's Hexie-Dresden Pillow
Giuseppe, of Giucy Giuce, kicked off the blog tour with this fun twist on a dresden. The pillow is made with the greys and black prints in curved background pieces and epp hexagons that create a spectrum around the pillow! Check out his IG post to learn more!
Wefty Needle's Hexiecomb Shelves
Tara, of Wefty Needle, created these amazing Hexiecomb shelves for her stop along the blog tour! These hand-sewn shelves are made with 6 different bright prints, cardboard, fabric glue and thread! Want to make some of your own? Grab the pattern and read about it here.

Wolf Creek Quilting's Arcadia Avenue Quilt
My Mom, Kristy of Wolf Creek Quilting (and Sass!), enlarged one of our popular Arcadia Avenue blocks and made a quilt with it! I love how big the block is and how the prints look in the bigger spaces. See close-ups of her amazing longarm quilting.
No Hats in the House's Chill Pills
Sarah, of No Hats in the House, began to make an enlarged Folksy Fish for her project! She ran out of background fabric and whipped up these great wheatgrass and essential oil filled Chill Pills with Foundation. I hope the fish will one day swim =] Check out her IG post to learn more!
Modern Handcraft's Peak Quilt
Nicole, of Modern Handcraft, created a rainbow version of her new Peak quilt pattern for her stop along the blog tour! She created a spectrum diagonally across the quilt and paired a solid white with the bright prints. I love this gorgeous quilt and as always, Nicole's patterns and photos are just perfect. Check out her blog post to get a pattern and see more photos!
Elise and Emelie's EPP Argyle Tote Bag
Elise, of Elise and Emelie, made this stunning tote bag for her Foundation project! She used all the colorful prints and low volumes to create an argyle look on the tote bag with some english paper piecing and hand stitching with embroidery floss. See more photos on her blog!

I can’t wait for this fabric to come out, I love it so much! I’ve enjoyed the tour and have some new blogs to follow too! I would make a bag, and I’ve been wanting to make a Gravity Quilt, and this fabric would be perfect.
Keri said:
Wow! Everyone did such an awesome job that it’s hard to choose. I love them all. The create everyday banner would be first on my list to make.

Elle said:
I have been waiting impatiently for this line to get where I can buy it for my son’s HST rainbow quilt, which I am desperate to make/finish for him before his 5th birthday! I never got around to making him a baby quilt, but this queen-sized quilt will hopefully make up for it! I love all the projects on the blog tour, but those placemats! They are just over-the-top incredible! This is such a gorgeous line that i’ll Be breaking my rule about not buying more fabric without a plan to just buy a ridiculous amount of each one! Everyone will call me “that girl obsessed with Foundation fabric”!

I love these fabrics. They are so bright and cheerful. I don’t have fabric for a project right now. I would like to make the wallets by Sarah. All the pockets in the design are great! I love the Hello Pouches by Kaitlyn because you can see thru them! I think my granddaughter would love the shorts by Jessie! I’d love to make those too! Great looking fabric!
Shaena said:
I already have plans to buy some of one of the low volumes to go with some fabric I have picked for a quilt, which just so happens to be using one of your patterns. ? And I’m thinking I’ll need some of the colors to make myself some hello pouches. I already have that pattern and love how hers came out! ??
Amie said:
Oh, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Crafty Nomad’s “Create Every Day” mini! It’s beautiful and inspirational! So pretty! I think I’d make some sort of quilt, too, or a fun tote bag with a matching lanyard or other cute accessory. I’m loving these rainbow colors. Gorgeous!
Mandy M said:
Omg! This fabric is to die for! I would definitely use it to make a rainbow mini!

Wefty Needles shelves are amazing – would be perfect for rainbow-ising my new sewing space!
I’ve just started a charity quilt for a local marine rescue organisation to auction – I would love to include some Foundation in it!
Danielle said:
I am mesmerized by this fabric as well as every project created with it! My favorite is Elise and Emelie’s argyle bag though. What a great idea!
Carol J said:
The problem would be choosing one specific project, they would go with just about everything already in the stash! Especially since the prints, need some basics!!
Ann from NC said:
All the samples are great! Really liked the tote bag and pouches! I need some primary fabrics for a map quilt, a sewing themed quilt, and it would be great to make one of your patterns in my stash with your fabrics!
Kristin said:
Kudos to Nicole at modern handcraft for the peak quilt she made with this. I love that pattern and will need to make one soon. If I were to win I would use the fabric to make a lap quilt for each of my daughters as they need a quilt as vibrant as they are
Carol said:
Loved the blog hop and I can’t wait until the fabric is in the stores. So many great ideas, but I think the mini wall hanging and the bags with the clear vinyl on the top are a couple of my favorites. Not sure what my first project with these fabrics will be, will have to see what feels right when I have the fabric in hand.
Karen K said:
I am over the moon loving all of these fabrics. I would definitely make something (or everything) from Robin Ruth’s patterns
Cathy C said:
Super collection and lots of great projects! I think my favorite might be the Peaks quilt. Would love the chance to make a ? project or two!
Isabelle K. said:
I would make rainbow colored bags for days and days! Loved the mini featuring a spool of thread and saying “Create Every Day” by the Crafty Nomad. What an awesome idea.
Allison said:
Would love a mini like the Crafty Nomad. I would also like to make a nice bright rainbow table runner ?
Willow Olson said:
This has been such a beautiful and inspiring blog tour to follow! I’ve had rainbow hexies on my mind since seeing Giuseppe’s, of Guicy Guice, post. And my sewing room pretty much “requires” me to make Jo’s, of The Crafty Nomad, Spool of Thread Mini, Congratulations on your Foundation Fabric collection with Windham Fabric!
Ruth said:
I am in love with this collection. I would use it in the Cadence Court patten and would love to do a bag like Jessica’s. I can’t wait! ????
