Hey Everyone, welcome back to Story Time Monday.
Last week the Fed Ex man pulled up at the end of our driveway and I thought I didn’t order anything maybe Michael did. He said he didn’t so I wondered what we were getting. He left the box at the front door and as I brought it in the house I took a look at the label and went oh cool – Northcott Fabrics.
My Serenity Spa fabric line had arrived. This line of fabric was designed by Cheri Strole and it is absolutely wonderful. The fabric is so calming and lets you think that you are at the beach.
Last August when I started designing patterns for Northcott this was my first fabric line to create a pattern for. The patterns are all designed many months before the fabric line is actually released. When the fabric arrives it is really quite exciting.
Ebb & Flow was designed using the Snail’s Trail block as the main block. The block is made using four of the fabrics gradating from light to dark creating a colour wash look within the block. Adding in squares of the sea shell fabric between the rail fence blocks and the sixteen patch block in the soft palette of the Serenity Spa fabrics has continued the colour wash look throughout the whole quilt.
A perfect quilt to snuggle up under at the cottage.
I can’t wait to cut up those fabrics and turn them into the Ebb & Flow quilt.
Purchase and download this pattern now.
Happy Quilting!
I shared this article on Quilt Story’s Fabric Tuesday Party and Freshly Pieced’s WIP Wednesday
Jen,
Oh my gosh! That quilt is beautiful. It makes me want to buy every piece of that fabric and make my own beach themed quilt. The beach is my favorite place and if you can’t be there what better way to think you are than to snuggle up or look at a quilt that reminds you of it?
I think your pattern is going to sell lots of fabric for them.

Thanks Carol, it has been great all the love this pattern has received. The fabric line is pretty wonderful too, I hope you’ll share with us what you create with it.
That is a beautiful pattern, and the fabrics are amazing! I love the color wash effect that you created.
It’s truly beautiful! So perfect for that fabric too.
What gorgeous fabric, and that’s looking at it on a computer monitor – I would probably drool if I got my hands on it! Which online websites will be selling it?
Hi Juliet, I don’t know offhand, but Northcott has a store locator you could look through that to see if there are any online retailers or a shop you could get to mail to you: http://www.northcott.com/?sid=2&layout=2col&fabid=1&content=fabric_details&colid=549&colorid=917
Jen– This pattern and the colors you chose are amazing! You inspired me– I am going to make a snail trail one day:)
These beautiful fabrics will come together in the Snail’s Trail block perfectly. I look forward to seeing this!
Wow!!!! That is amazing and makes me want to go to the beach house NOW! I will be contacting you soon about the pattern! 🙂
Gorgeous fabric! The quilt is going to be beautiful!
