Spotlight On: Oakshott Fabrics in the Store

What is Shot Cotton and Why is it Special?

Shot cotton is fabric where the cotton warp yarns (the vertical yarns on a fabric) and weft yarns (the horizontal yarns on a fabric) are different colors, producing the trademark shot effect when colors appear to shimmer and move depending on how the light falls. This adds extra depth and luminosity to your quilts!

Did you know? Oakshott's Grayshott, Lakes, Lipari, Ruby Reds, Scandinavia and Sorbet collections share a common warp yarn, so all of these bundles combine beautifully together!

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Pretty Polar Bears In Progress

"Polar Bears" (In Progress) by Sandra Mollon

When Sandra got the call to be a guest on The Quilt Show, she knew that she wanted to bring something special to the table in addition to her fabulous landscape quilts. So, she brought a stunning quilt in progress, Polar Bears, which upon first glance you wouldn't be able to tell wasn't already finished. Based on a photo by Deb Simon, and featuring a hand painted sky amongst the rocks and water that are standards of her landscape quilts, it will certainly be a sight to see when Sandra is finished with it.

See more of Sandra's quilts in Learn Dyeing and Appliqué Techniques for Landscape Quilts with Sandra Mollon.
