I love ‘Lucy’s Escapades’ fabric line

by

Over the Halloween weekend I house-sat for my sister who was out-of-town for a retreat. It’s a two-story Victorian and due to its large size, it’s where we have most of our family events. Painted in bright cheery colors, it’s a happy house but when I walked up the steps to enter Friday evening there was nary a light on anywhere and I had a thought, “This would make a good haunted house.”

I spent a leisurely weekend on the couch mostly with a remote in hand and, in the spirit of Halloween, watched some of the cable shows about haunted houses. I got myself so worked up – scared even – I switched over to reruns of I Love Lucy. That did the trick!

Now you can understand why I smiled when I spied Lucy’s Escapades – Luau Blue at Fabric.com. See more of this fabric line HERE.

Weekly Precut Fabrics For Quilting Inspiration

Every quilter hits a creative lull from time to time. Maybe you’ve finished a big project and aren’t sure what to start next, or maybe life has been so busy that your sewing machine hasn’t seen daylight in weeks. Fat Quarter Shop’s Precut of the Week has a way of jumpstarting inspiration right when you need it.

Each Monday offers a little surprise — a curated precut bundle that might open the door to a new idea. Sometimes the colors speak to you, sometimes the scale of the prints, and sometimes just the ease of grabbing a coordinated bundle is enough to reignite your creativity.

For even more inspiration, these internal articles pair beautifully with precut sewing:

I love how precuts simplify the process. No fussing with measurements or debating which prints match — just open the bundle, choose your pattern, and enjoy the rhythm of sewing. For a creative reset, charm packs and layer cakes are especially good because they spark quick wins.

Let each Monday be a gentle reminder that creativity is always waiting for you, even in the smallest moments.
