Ravel Giveaway from Quilt Sandwich Fabrics

May 1, 2024 Rachel Hauser

Come see, come see - I have a new fabric crush!

This month Quilt Sandwich Fabrics is celebrating their 16th anniversary. That’s 16 years of modern fabrics and almost as long sponsoring Stitched in Color. Wow! To celebrate Quilt Sandwich is giving away a complete fat quarter set of Ravel. It’s such a cool fabric collection. Take a look - - -

Seriously, my jaw dropped open! I mean the vibe and the colors and the play on text - these fabrics are so eye catching and creative. I can imagine them sewn up in totally simple patchwork or some oversized modern quilt design.

Designer e bond has released this collection with Freespirit Fabrics. I love the quote below about her inspiration and design process. So fascinating!

For this collection, I focused on the modern Roman alphabet (aka the 26 letterforms from A—Z) as the primary shapes. Ravel became a collection of prints about these shapes coming together and falling apart. While creating, my main questions circled around a.) How can I break letters apart into new, interesting forms, and b.) Is it possible to obscure these already imbued symbols so much that they ‘lose’ their meaning? The letterforms in Ravel run the gamut from being clear and legible to fractured, and finally to some forms completely disintegrating into their environments. According to Merriam-Webster, a contronym is a word having two meanings that contradict one another, so finding the word ‘ravel’ was perfect for bringing all these ideas together in a collection form. Ravel means both to tangle and to untangle, which is a wonderful way to think about these visual shapes in space.
