I shop at Whittles a lot for backings at $5.00 a yard how can you go wrong? they are wonderful to work with, very helpful , service is great. Isn't that what a quilt shop should be? Just wish I lived close to them!
have to admit when I got home on Monday and opened the box loved a few of these reds, yesterday I just had to go back on line and order yardage of a few of these I have plans for a few more red and white quilts this year...adding in some green :) too! Spending Christmas money is fun !!!!
hmm wonder if it counts for last year shopping since its Christmas money?????
If you know of any new red and white shirting lines coming out let me know I need more of them...
or even other lines already out thanks!
I just had to share this with you , its a kitchen towel, remember these? Calendars on towels I remember them from my childhood, have seen them in antique stores ,they used to hang in my aunts house every year. this one is from a friend, I was shocked to get it as I hear they are RARE , Moda hopefully will print many more of them next year. Its just so cute! eventually will be the back of a little quilt or maybe the center of a medallion? I can't thank her enough for sending me this one, i just love it!

That is such a beautiful red and white quilt on your design wall! I love that tea towel!!
Oh Kathie...love your red and white quilt...what a wonderful box of goodies. I love Whittles...great service! What a cute, cute towel calendar...my grandmother always had one of those hanging on her kitchen door. Thanks for the great memory this morning.
Love it Kathie.
I see another stunning quilt on the road to completion! Love those fabrics!
That definitely counts as 2012 shopping! The quilt is looking great and I love the tea towel - so cute!
I love the red squares lined up diagonally on the white! Thanks for the tip about Whittles. I checked them out and was amazed to see the prices! I will keep them in mind for sure.
Love, love that kitchen towel.
Wow you bought beautiful reds with your Christmas money.
Love the quilt and the tea towel too! :0)
Love your red and white! This is a beauty!! I love shopping at Whittles. You can't go wrong at all with their wonderful prices. It was nice seeing the price of Mary Koval's new fabric line on their site. Boy, you can't beat that!
Great choice Kathie, that was one of my favourites when we visited the Quilts in the Barn last year.
Love your R&W quilt (of course - what's not to love?!). I saw the Cotton Club on Whittle's yesterday - soooo tempting, but did you see the pictures I just posted of my stash, on my blog? Yeah...I really don't need any fabric! Oh, but it's such a good price...
Your red and white always makes me think I need one too!!
I have to tell you that those calendars aren't obsolete. I was quite surprised to find a variety of them around the holidays at a special gift shop. I thought they were from the past too. There was a display of them with about 12 different designs like hummingbirds, barns, flowers, etc.
*Ahem*, you didn't hear it from me, but the next Minick and Simpson fabric line (After Indigo Crossing) just might be all red and white.
Those fabrics are YUMMY!!!!!!
Calendar so cute, and you quilt will be gorgeous, love it!

I had a full cart online with Whittles two days ago and then told myself to wait a bit. I hope you left some for me! I got sucked in by the Moda Metropolitan Fair line yesterday. Paid way more a yard than the Whittles fabric. Boo! There is also great new Judie R line out with indigoes and pink. I love that one too. I just wish I had any local quilt shop that carried a good stock of repros. Is there any of the PA shops you recommend particularly? I might make a trip there in spring if I save some money.
Lovely Kathie! Love the red scrappy and shirting scrappy!!
Ok, ok...I am adding a red and white quilt to my 2013 list! Are you happy now?
Beautiful R&W quilt. Thanks for the tip about Whittles. Everyone loves a good price on fabrics!
Oh, you temptress, you! I got the Whittles email and started to look at the fabrics and then convinced myself to walk away from the computer before I did too much damage. After seeing your beautiful selection, now I want to go back and look again. : )
The red and white is lovely--simple visual patterns in two colors have such appeal.
What a fun tea towel. Oh, I want one for my sewing room!
OMG, Kathie, this is going to be a stunning quilt. Red is my favorite color so I'll be anxiously watching for more progress.
Hey, a calendar towel like yours arrived in my mailbox, too. I love it. :-)
That is a beautiful quilt, will be nice for valentines too.

That is a darling wall calendar. Those are collector items now, so hang on to it!
Red and white will never lose its classic status! Looks like you have a great selection to choose from. Reds always seem to run short in my stash and I'm forever looking for good ones. Love that linen calendar with machines! Never seen one before.
Gotta love red and white quilts..so crisp and clean.
What a beauty with all the different reds, it really adds some dimension. I love that tea towel!
The R&W quilt is looking great. Thanks for the tip about Whittles just had an online splurge!
Oh wow, you just can't go wrong with the classic 4-patch! And those reds are just luscious. Love it!
And I LOVE that tea towel!! That could be a lot of fun to use! I do hope Moda makes more tea towels.
