Heather Ross - Briar Rose Debut & Giveaway




During QuiltCon I was lucky enough to get to see Heather Ross's new line - Briar Rose. She let us touch and feel lots of the wonderful fabric during her tutorial. The line debuted on April 8th on her website and will ship from Windham Fabrics in July.  There is a special free quilt design for the collection and it is beautiful and features all the bright colors of the line. If you have seen the cool Washi dress (I saw tons of folks wearing it at Houston Quilt Fest and QuiltCon) then you know the work of Made by Rae who created the Briar Rose quilt pictured above!

So now for the giveaway!  I know you just can't wait for July for the fabric.  Leave me a comment saying what you want to make out of a charm pack of this new springy line and it will be hopping its way out to you.  2 winners and the deadline for entry - April 18th.  Thanks Heather!!!

  3. Love this new line. It reminds me so much of my own time spent on vacation with my grandparents near Vermont. I think a patchwork strawberry made into a pillow or a mini-quilt wall hanging would be darling.

    Also I love a pillow case ;)

  60. I have a baby quilt planned, with charm squares set on the diagonal. I think it would be lovely in Briar Rose with some essex linen sashing. I'll probably hold out on backing until Briar Rose yardage is available, because I can't imagine anything else with this lovely lovely fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  61. This line is so adorable! As soon as I saw it, I imagined it as a simple square block baby quilt with prairie point edges. Thanks for the chance to win!

  62. I would make a cute baby quilt. Or maybe a cute 'me' quilt :) I love love quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Such cute fabric. I think I would make it into a quilt, using the charms as the centres for a log cabin square and if I were lucky enough to have any squares left over I'd use them to feature in a QAYG panel for a bag along the weekender lines!!! Thanks for the fab giveaway :)

  64. I'm sure I'd end up making a quilt for Megan with this beautiful fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  65. This would be adorable as a baby quilt, perhaps a rag one. Some solids can be used to stretch the charm pack. Then could add a yardage print to try my hand at either shirred sashing, or a scalloped edge. Regardless, any quilt made with Briar rose would be wonderful.
    .... or attempt the Thread Bias contest challenge ....
