French General's new line, Chateau Rouge, will be released very soon! I have pre-cut charm packs flying to me via Priority Mail as I write!
My fabric storage racks are heavy with stacks of the past French General lines, and have to seriously talk to myself in order to cut into a piece. What am I saving them for? haha (am I the only one who does this?)
I do love the deep reds in this new line, and am getting used to the gray/linen colors combined with red. I tend to be a red & white lover, but the gray adds a nice depth to a red quilt. The mustard color is real interesting. I love adding "cheddar" to quilts, but this is more like "gouda"! I can't wait to play with this color.
If you haven't visited the French General blog, The Warp and the Weft, check it out! There are always interesting things to read. If I still lived in California, I'd be going to their Woad Workshop! So interesting, and the deep blue color is amazing!
I made good progress yesterday, finishing up the blocks for my red & blue quilt. I hope to get them sewn together, and into the quilting frame today! My old Singer 301 has been purring since getting her cleaning and oiling after the last quilt! I just love that machine! ttfn
