Wonderful lesson on choosing fabrics with Jen Kingwell! The Stitchin Post had not opened for the day so our class had full run of the shop :)

Too funny about Batiks! When I first started quilting, I loved all Batiks, but now have grown out of it and now favor the bright busy fabrics! Kaffe & Tula 😀. So enjoy your videos!

A friend has just told me about your show, I love it. This is only the second video clip I have watched thus far, it was fabulous. I have always struggled choosing fabric and this clip with a fellow Aussie explaining how to do it has given me more confidence. Thank you. Ps can’t wait to watch more of your show.

I need the store in my life! I am surrounded by country and reproductions. I love the pastel, the Quiltmania, and yes the batik! Don’t have much of that near me. Thank you for the class! Good info there. I am still learning to blend fabric. Need to get away from buying precut.

Absolutely loved how she did that. I think we get stuck in matchy matchy. A bit afraid to expand. I got looked at funny when i mentioned sometimes i pick my fabric before i ever know what pattern I'm using. I wonder all over sometimes different shops or online till i get what im looking for. I am putting taking a class from her on my must do list! Thank you so much Anna for taking us with you. Much appreciated.

Than you so much for this! I have such a hard time choosing fabrics, so I usually just use the fabrics that come in a line. Would love to have seen the bolts that everyone picked out. I love Jen's work but will probably never get the chance to have a class with her, so I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to share!

When I first started Quilting I so disliked Batiks and now I love them! I will almost always always go for the bright Fabrics, ie, Kaffe Fassett, Amy Butler, Tula Pink, Joel Dewberry & Debi Payne just to name a few. I’m sorry but cream, coffee, vanilla, Browns, tans, White’s, blacks, pastels and low volume colors really do nothing for me.

80% of my stash is batik, but each to their own! I would never have added a batik to a floral motif standard fabric, but this has me thinking... Thanks for a lovely set of videos Anna. It's good to hear from another Aussie. Sometimes it gets lonely down here with most of the quilters I hang around coming from your part of the globe.
