Benartex 4th Quarter Fun from Nestlings By Robin

Welcome back for some Benartex fun!

For my 4th quarter project, I have

been playing with the American Spirit

line by Cheryl Haynes of Prairie Grove Peddler.

These were the fabrics I chose

to work with for this project

but there are many others

to choose from.

If you saw my Ohio remix

in the Fat Quarterly in October,

then you may know where this

is going:)

I took that block along with

another arrangement and

combined them with a

sweet and simple border applique'.

In January this new design,

'In Gratitude', will be available

for purchase through my ETSY ...

Benartex Ambassador Project #3 from Nestlings By Robin

Christmas in July is celebrated by

lots of quilters to get a jump on

their Christmas gift lists, so

I am going to offer 2

Christmas in July patterns

for my Benartex projects!

For project #3 I chose

to work with the new

line, Rhapsody in White,

arriving in shops now.

This line has a lovely

silky feel to it and there

are lots of cute

prints to choose from.

White makes me think of

snowflakes though and how

fun are those little

paper cut ones from

our childhood.

In all honesty, I was never

much good at getting them ...

Benartex Christmas in July 2023 from Nestlings By Robin

Jackie Robinson has

done it again!

A Botanical Season is

a lovely array of

holiday touchstones from

holly to Christmas ornaments.

I used techniques from

my Fabric Collaborations class

to adorn this sweet and

simple table runner

with lovely amaryllis

flower bouquets.

I am in love with

these sweet flowers and the

cute star negative space

at their centers!

The pattern can be found

in my ETSY shop

Benartex Project #2- Peacock Petals from Nestlings By Robin

We round up the first quarter of the year

with my second Benartex project....

Peacock Petals using fabrics

from the Peacock Symphony

line by David Galchutt.

It hit store shelves in January so

keep an eye out for it.

Deep rich colors and

a spring vibe kept niggling at

the back of my mind.

I thought about 2 particular

design workshops that I

adore teaching, Scrapplique'

and Fabric Collaborations.

Both concepts along with these

two fabrics inspired

my work for this challenge.

Thankfully the style of the fabric

goes beautifully with my own

aesthetic of swirls and dots!

Admittedly, I ...

Benartex Ambassador group Totes from Nestlings By Robin

Welcome back everyone!

We invite you to join the

Ambassadors as we show

off our fun group project...

TOTE BAGS:)

There is some

adventurous stitching!

Our mission was to

reinterpret the logo

shown below and

that was really the

only rule other than

making a bag:)

Look at these gorgeous

fabrics we had to play with.

This is the Wave Texture

basics line by

Jackie Robinson

Based on the logo, I chose

Sky, Fuchsia, and Lime.

I love playing with this

simple petal shape and

I knew that I would

do hand applique'

with embroidery,

so here is BloomX:)

I ...

Benartex Ambassador project #1 from Nestlings By Robin

Welcome to my first

Benartex Ambassador

project for 2023!

Meet "Heartland" by

Cheryl Haynes.

I was completely digging

the floral and checks

and the fabric is so soft!

My father is from Kansas,

and my oldest lives in Illinois.

When we drive up there, the

vast acreage of windmills is

breathtaking just as the images

from Kansas plains of one small

windmill were in the day.

So, this fabric line immediately

took me to windmills.

Because I couldn't make

a decision, you get a 2 for 1 tutorial:)

Any block that gives the

illusion of a windmill works.

For ...
