Michael Miller Fabrics Cabana Collection

by

miller_fabric.JPGFirst I have to admit that many new fabric lines seem to become my favorite new fabric lines but I can’t stop thinking about this new collection called Cabana from Michael Miller Fabrics. It is so different and refreshing and the colors just pop out at you or at least they do to me.

The photo here shows the display of the collection at Quilters Harvest quilt shop. Since I couldn’t afford to buy every piece I took a photo. The shop had some really nice samples made up. There were some pillows and handbags made from various pieces. There was an ironing board cover and laundry bag made from the sewing machine/laundry print. Not in the photo was a quilt top made from just the damask prints.

The one thing about this collection is that it is a home dec type fabric. The fabric’s web page says it is 100% cotton oxford. It feels like a cotton twill which has a heavier hand than regular quilters’ cotton. It’s almost like a lightweight denim or canvas which would make some projects more durable like the laundry bag or an apron.

I bought a 1/2 yard piece of the pink called Sweet Home which has the cat, tv, shoe and vase print (shown at top of photo). I really don’t know what I will do with it. I might just have to buy some more of the other prints in the collection to make a final decision. Oh, well.
