Have you heard of Modern Yardage? I am learning more about it every day. They are unique in their fabric, ink and layout. You can learn what the difference is by going here.
I am giving some of their fabric a test drive today and this is how it arrived:
This is 4 half-yard cuts for a total of two yards. You can order any amount and size of print. These are all the large print size. On the side are washing instructions, some advertising and that cute faux cathedral window print.
You'll see what I made in a few days.

We had overnight guests, so my sewing space is ALL cleaned up. I just read Leona's post about her sewing space at Leona's Quilting Adventure and thought I would give you a peek at my little space.
First is my sewing table, machine and thread. Behind the closed sewing cabinet door is my serger and a fold out table to set it on so I can both sew and serge on the same project. My bulletin board/ chalk board is made from a wooden ironing board. The mini quilts above are from some special friends, swaps and one I made. I am sitting on the bed for this photo.
Next I want to show my storage cabinet for my fabric; I am pretty happy about this find. You will see it is two-sided. I found it on craigs list; it was from a closed Border's Book Store. It has glass doors so I can see all my fabric at a glance but it stays dust free. This side has some pre-cuts and some of my special pieces of fabric.
On the end I have a few hooks where I can hang things and a little shelf to display some too. On the wall is a banner my daughter brought from Oktoberfest and my thread.
And this is the other side of the same cabinet. Fabric by color on the first three shelves, larger cuts and some collections on the other two shelves. I may have expanded my storage to the top of the cabinet with a button jar, sewing basket, books and a stack of fabric.

Hi Mary! Your sewing room is dreamy! (even if it does double as a guest room! I added a link to your post on my blog post http://oneygirl-myquiltingadventure.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-sewing-room.html
Happy Quilting!
I love your sewing area!
I got some of the same Modern Yardage prints as you did... I already cut them up and folded them into a cute fat quarter set.
Your space is so neat and organized. I would like to hear more about Modern Yardage. I can't wait to see what you make with your test drive.
Mary interesting fabric. I love your sewing space, especially that cabinet.
I can't wait to see more with your fabric! I am so envious! I sew in the kitchen and it is a pain in the neck most of the time. Good organization, Mary!
Love your sewing space, and love your stash! :-) That is interesting fabric, how it comes like that! Can't wait to see what you did!
Nice space you have. I love the storage with the glass doors.
Thank you for the link to Modern Yardage - interesting. Love the glass cover on your storage too. Bright and fun space.
Really glad you posted about Modern Yardage. I spent quite awhile checking out their fabrics and plan to try some. Will be watching for your project reveal.
Your sewing room is nicely organized...great cabinet and I love the ironing board used as a message center. Everything is colorful & energizing!
Hmmm... I will check them out. I buy from Spoonflower now and again, just got some of Thomas' prints to add to my stash. I am so impressed if thats the extent of your stash.
Gorgeous!!
I think I have to give this a try!
