FIGS & FRIENDS COLLABORATION

For those of you in the FIGS & FRIENDS PROGRAM… Welcome back to your LAST installment of our FIGS & FRIENDS program for 2022/23! I have really enjoyed curating these bundles for you every other month and I am so happy that so many of you joined me in both the program and with our “extras”.

This time around, I am totally smitten with this full spectrum of green prints. You all know how much I love green so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that I am excited about this pairing.

As of late last week, it is officially… OUT THE DOOR & ON ITS WAY TO YOU!!

Please remember that as always, if you have purchased one of our “extra bundles” and are not in the program, your STEMS pattern will need to be purchased separately.

COLLABORATION #6 for 2022/23: SPRING GREENS

COLLECTION INFO:

We fell in love with this fresh and springy mix of green and cream prints and couldn’t resist a botanical theme in our quilt this time around! I think my classic STEMS quilt is a a match made in Springtime heaven!  Note that if you have purchased one of our “extra bundles” and are not in the program, your STEMS pattern will need to be purchased separately.

This month’s mix is a variety of my CINNAMON & CREAM and STITCHED collections in greens and creams and a mix of THE SHORES by Brenda Riddle. We have added in a few prints from Corey Yoder’s SUNWASHED, MODA’S MIX IT UP and Sherri & Chelsi’s SIMPLY DELIGHTFUL. The resulting array of warm greens and a few creams mixed in, is just irresistibly Spring.

PATTERN: When it came time to pick a pattern this time around, I chose STEMS, a classic Fig Tree pattern that always has my heart. It was a perfect fit for this bundle.

For those of you in the program or if you purchase one of our “extra bundles”, if you are interested in a “finishing kit” for the pattern, we have put together the creamy ivory background and the green solid stem and the green print binding. Note that even though the finishing kit is for the lap size, we gave you enough of the green solid to enlarge the quilt or make more stems if you like! You would need to add more ivory if you want to go that route.

EXTRA BUNDLES AVAILABLE ONCE AGAIN!

We had so many requests for the bundles each time we released one and we felt so bad because we had no extras to share with anyone outside the program. So once again this year, there is a limited stock of EXTRA BUNDLES EACH TIME WE RELEASE A NEW ONE!

WOOHOO!!

So if you are not in the program but would like to grab this specific bundle, HERE it is. If it is not available to you through this link, that means it has now sold out.

This is the end of the 2022/23 program and sign ups for next year are also full and closed. If you are interested in being added to the wait list, please email us and sometimes we are able to add in some extra people when spots open up. However, we have managed to secure extra fabric for many of the bundles and will work to have a few bundles extra each time to offer to those of you who missed out or who might just be interested in that one bundle.

WHAT: Every 2 months we will offer a fabulous little combination bundle of Fig Tree fabrics and another favorite MODA designer [or sometimes even 2] to make up a wonderful new and unique fabric palette. Each palette will be 2-3 colors, some of ours and some of theirs to create something new and different… something that we would not have thought of before. We cannot wait to see some of the beauties that we will come up with when we put 2 of us together!

WHEN: Starting in May, 2023 and continuing every two months for a year [6 total bundles for the annual program. Starting in May and then July, September, November, January and March].

INCLUDES: (16) 1/4 yds. fabric prints for a total of 4 yards of fabric plus a pattern that would be a good suggestion for these fabrics. The pattern is just there as a complementary option… you can of course do anything you like with the fabric bundle as it will be a great palette to start so many different projects!

It is a perfect way to add some new combinations into your stash, a great way to be introduced to some new designs and maybe even colors for you. We promise that each bundle will absolutely coordinate with Fig Tree as half of the bundle will be Fig Tree but will perhaps push out a little bit outside of our regular favorites into some new and fun combinations.

OTHER INFO: The bundle is just a fabric bundle, not a kit. Borders and background will be suggested and offered as a FINISHING KIT [AVAILABLE HERE] and BACKING KIT [AVAILABLE HERE] if you want to make the pattern included look exactly like ours but they will not be included in the bundle.
