I am particulary fond of this palette. These reds and green I find eqally calming and creatively stimulating. I think I will be doing some damage with this collection :-)

Need to get some inspiration?

Hey, Fabric Shoppers! This is Tara - Rosie's horribly spoiled daughter and the editor of Scoutie Girl - here to post occasionally about some of my indie fabric design friends.

Today, I'm so happy to introduce you to my friend Candy Glendening, from Candied Fabrics. Candy creates beautiful scarves, bags, journals, 3D art, and quilt art - quART - from her own hand-dyed fabric.

Using several color palettes she's developed over the years, her pieces have unlimited variety and beauty. Just as a painter or illustrator challenges themselves with new mediums and new techniques, Candy is constantly examining her art, devising challenges for herself, and reinventing her passion for textiles.

In the first image at the top of the post, the bag that's pictured there is mine. So I can tell you first hand how beautiful Candy's colors are. I can also tell you that you've never felt cotton canvas so soft yet unbelievably sturdy.

Candy just launched a brand new website today, too! [Full Disclosure: I built it for her!] She has a giveaway going on at the new home of Candied Fabrics - win your choice of scarf or a 1/2 yard of her hand-dyed fabric in any of the scarf color palettes! The site includes a fabulous gallery of stunning photos of Candy's work.

In case you're wondering if you can get your grubby little paws on some of Candy's fabric, you're in luck! While she doesn't sell her fabric in her shop, she would be happy to do a custom order from you and create the yardage of your dreams!

Meet the one and only "Fabric Fairy"....

"My name is Caroline. I am a seamstress, writer, designer, photographer,and Mama to 4 children aged 7 and under. I have an insane passion for textiles, which led me to open The Fabric Fairy in 2006."

Cool weather has come to many parts of the USA and when that happens in PA, my mind turns to corduroy....luscious, soft, comfortable corduroy!  Along with many others fabrics of all types, my Fabric Fairy carries some fantastic cords that make me want to sew pillows, throws, slack, skirts .... well, you get the idea!

 The Fabric Fairy

Happy Sewing!  ~rosie~
