This week I am featuring the Essentials collection by Gertrude Made which complements the Outback Wife range of fabrics, also by Gertrude Made, that I featured on last week's Sunday Stash blog post. In a color palette inspired by the Australian outback landscape, this collection has been designed for dressmakers and quilters alike.

The Essentials collection consists of bark cloth solids in rich and saturated colors, as well as impeccably woven yarn dyes, old style tickings and trusty denims, each woven by the finest mills in Japan. Click on any of the photos for a larger and check out the detail of the texture of the various fabric bases.

I am excited to see the introduction of black gingham style woven fabrics - pictured above - as well as the beautifully textured yarn-dyed fabrics - pictured below - which are great background and contrast fabrics.

Last, but certainly not least, the Outback Wife collection also includes 2 designs - each available in 3 colorways - printed on a luxury cotton/merino twill fabric base. It is so incredibly soft and proudly made here in Melbourne.
