Flea Market Fancy ~ Legacy Reprint 2012

Flea Market Fancy. So this is where it all started.
Way back then, when my children were still - children - in primary school the release of Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt sparked an interest in fabric and quilting.  I was surrounded by crafty family and friends (and their fabric stashes and projects) but crafty was just not my thing.  I had dabbled a little, but not with commitment.


And then Flea Market Fancy came along.  The bold colors and simple designs drew me in completely.  Katie Jump Rope also be Denyse Schmidt followed thereafter, and I was committed.  I am a Fabricaholic.  There, I said it.


By popular demand Flea Market Fancy ~ Legacy Reprint is back!  Legacy reprint is a selection of 21 prints from the original range. The hues are refreshed, and the collection includes new colorways of several designs, including two additional grey prints, which I adore!


As much as I like to work on just one quilt project at a time I have had to cut into my Flea Market Fancy fabric stash (and these are still just blocks which goes some way to explaining the mismatched seams).

  5. Can't wait, I already got my preorder in a few months ago. Oh the possibilities with this fabric. I too share a similar story with this line. It drew me back into sewing.

  10. I was at Emma's (Ballarat Patchwork) the day they arrived (Friday 17/2) but as they had not been put on the system, I couldn't purchase any. Imagine my horror to find that over the next couple of days my favourite print had already sold out! Next time I might just camp out until it is available for sale. Just goes to show how popular this collection is.

  14. How much of a certain fabric do you buy if you don't have a particular project in mind.

  15. This was the line that started my love of quilting too! However it was well after the initial release. I am going to try to get my hands on some but being a student I just don't know if that will happen. Until then I will continue to drool :).
