Feather & Flair Blog Hop

Welcome to the first day of the Feather & Flair blog hop.

Feather & Flair is my first signature fabric collection with Island Batik, Lumin Fabrics and I can’t wait to share the quilts I have made with this collection.

Each day I’ll also share a link to one of my friends that joined me to share this new line.

Feather & Flair Signature Collection

The colors in this collection have been so much fun to create quilts with and I am excited to share them with you.

I am so excited to finally be able to share this beautiful collection of greens, teals, purples, oranges and more. I have already made 6 quilts using these colorful batiks and I have many more quilt ideas.

The Feather & Flair Signature collection by Kerry Khiev for me should be hitting shops now. If you don’t see these fabrics in your local quilt shop, please ask for them.

Today I’m sharing a video so you can get a better look at this collection and a peek at the quilts I’ve made.

I carried all of the bolts of fabric and quilts outside so I could film this video. I hope you enjoy it!

    I follow you on IG. What fun ways to feature the fabric line!

  2. Hi Connie–I’m sure I’m too late for the giveaway–my husband died three weeks ago and I am just now lifting my head up and seeing what’s been happening in the quilty world while I was away. Your beautiful, cheerful fabric line is wonderful to see. Hooray for you, and how nice for you to have the support of so many talented quilter friends, designing patterns to highlight your fabric.
    I follow you here, and on Instagram, and YouTube, so I’ll be watching for more of this beautiful line in the months ahead, and might even be making some cheery quilts with it this winter, we shall see.

  3. Connie, love the new collection and your quilts.

  4. Gail Sheppard says:

    I’ve been receiving your newsletters and following you on IG for quite a while. Today, I subscribed to your youtube channel! I LOVE the work you do … so faithfully … so beautifully!

    Connie, Please explain to me the difference between “Signature fabric” “and designed fabric. Thanks.
    Carol

    1. Hi Carol, A designed fabric collection is a curated set of prints created by a textile company’s in-house art team around a unified theme. A signature collection features exclusive designs created by a specific guest artist, designer, or influencer, carrying that person’s name and distinct personal style.

  6. Karen Brownson says:

    Absolutely love this new Fletching pattern! I’ve been getting your emails and love them. For some unknown reason, although I’ve watched all the YouTube videos you’ve posted, I failed to actually subscribe 😏. Rectified that today.
    Will there be an opportunity to get the exact fabrics to match? I’m ordering the pattern today, and hoping. I’m just awful at coordinating colors. Many thanks, Karen B

  7. Elizabeth Herbst says:

  33. Mary Foshay says:

  34. Connie Gratias says:

    Stunning fabric collection!!

  35. Peggy Egan says:

    Absolutely gorgeous! I love those colors and your new patterns too.
    I have a question about the fabric itself and it may be a dumb question but here goes….are these true batiks or is it batik-like prints on quilting cotton? I’ve seen “batiks” both ways so that’s why I ask.
    Best of luck in this new venture and I’m sure it will do well.

  36. Your fabric line looks beautiful. I love the colors you used!

  37. Fran Dixon says:

Thank you for your help and with all the quilting knowledge that you have shared also..

  52. HELENA MERRICK says:

    Hello Connie, I loved your video with your new collection of Batiks. Each bolt was beautiful, I liked the choice of colours, and then seeing them made up into quilts. Just one question please, why are there no browns in the collection? I wish I could enter the giveaway, but as I live in Western Australia, which is on the other side of the world, the shipping costs make it impossible. Thank you for showing the video, the patterns are lovely.

  53. Vicki in MN says:

    Connie your quilts are all so beautiful, colorful and just plain fun to look at! I follow your blog, You Tube and Instagram!

  54. Michelle Cook says:
