And the panels:
Q. Where did the
inspiration for these fabrics come from?
Barb: We started
with fabric that was in Ruby’s archives. We found these little kits that had
actual fabrics in them and we ended up using three—the pink diagonal plaid with
little flowers on it is my favorite. We also used the blue and yellow tulips,
and the stripe.
Q. Where else did you
find fabric inspiration?
Barb: There are
two scattered little dot prints. I have a stuffed Scottie dog my grandmother
made me out of 2” squares. The dot print came from the dog.
The little flower sprigs came from Sunbonnet Sue blocks that
my 97-year-old friend’s sister had made.
I also “shopped” my friend’s 1930s DWR quilt, and chose a
print from there.
Q. Tell us about the embroidery panels.
Barb: Because 2016
is the 100th anniversary of Ruby’s first pattern being published, her
granddaughter Merrily wanted to do a big celebration. When we first started
talking, I thought it would be nice to include some of the panels. I personally
like preprinted panels—don’t have to trace. In the McKim Studio Revival, these two (farm life and flower garden) were the most popular. The blocks are 8-1/2” square between the dotted lines
and are printed on a solid antique white. I’m really excited about all the
opportunities to use these panels!
Q. And how do the Painter’s
Palette Solids fit in?
Barb: We selected
nine solids from the Painter’s Palette collection that coordinate beautifully
with the 30s prints. You’ll see these solids in upcoming projects featuring
Vintage 30’s Ruby’s Treasures.

I will be looking for these fabrics when they come out...love the look of 30's fabrics and these are beautiful. The panels are wonderful also and will look great but not sure to embroider in colors or just red or blue. Happy Anniversary Ruby!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see these at a store somewhere or online.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics. My favorite kind! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! Soft & sweet
ReplyDeleteI think that this fabric line is very special and will create many beautiful projects. I printed out the free pattern; I belong to a Project Linus quilt guild in Grants Pass Oregon and believe this will make a very special quilt for someone who needs a special gift/warm quilt for whatever reason. Plus, I have a couple of close friends who will also love receiving a quilt with this pattern. So Thank You very much for sharing this lovely pattern. Have a fantastic creative day!
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics and panels! I will be looking for them at my local LQS.
