amy butler’s solid fabrics
July 30, 2010
ya’ll are all most likely familiar with amy butler’s fabric design, right? anytime i walk up to a new fabric that i love, i’m not surprised to see that it’s usually from amy. my home, sewing room and etsy shop are all full of amy butler fabrics- and just having them around seems to inspire my space and my creativity! my only problem is that i often have a tough time finding matching fabrics to use in my appliques. often, if i put pattern on pattern it’s too busy for the eye, or it just doesn’t look right. so, you can only imagine how i was excited to see this:
amy butler solid fabrics! my sweet momma brought me a stack of her beautiful solids yesterday and boy did i swoon.
see what i mean? now i can use solids on prints and they don’t get all lost in the mix.
you can find them online, or call my mom’s quilt shop, 
a stitch in time, to order them directly! they’re by far the most beautiful solids i’ve ever seen- and she’s got just about any solid you would need to match any amy butler fabric!

I like your owl print item. Is that somewhere on your etsy shop?

Oooh, yeah!! Wonderful and beautiful and lovely, as usual, dear. :) I can NOT wait to get my new owlies. :)
Hi Bonnie, I’d love to know what that “blanket stitch” you use in your applique is known as in machining terms. SO much better than zigzag. Loving following your blog, kind regards, C.
hi caro! you answered your own question! it’s called the ‘blanket stitch’! :D i agree it’s much better than a zig zag- it holds the applique down better and looks cleaner.
I love Amy Butler fabrics. It’s great to see that she’s created some solids – it looks like they coordinate with the patterns well.
