Poppie Cotton is back with more super cute designs. As always, they have really nice filler prints and spectacular feature fabric that I can fussy cut! Look at those houses and tell me you don’t want to open up the teeny little door and live inside! What better fussy-cut-friendly pattern than Hexie Fun to show this collection off?

Let me present to you the 2024 Kona color of the year: Julep. It’s a pale blue-green, like a less leafy mint tone. My instant thought was to shallow ocean water on a dream-worthy beach.

Corolla is back again and cuter than ever, thanks to the Hollyhock Lane line from Poppie Cotton. The pastels obviously make for a sugary sweet vibe, but the unexpectedly dark teals and grays set this color palette apart, making the final product unusually vivid instead of somewhat washed out.
Okay, I know I’ve talked about Heart Bits before on the blog, but you guys, look at how much it pops with this fabric line!

Every now and then, I’ll come across a fabric that isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, but so darling that I just have to create a project to display it. Take a look at these storybook children, gentle animals, and encouraging words; how could I resist?
