Brand new in stock at Backstitch are the Timeless Treasures sketch fabrics. Sweeping the modern quilting community as the new solid-with-texture, these semi solids are, for my money, the best background fabric out there right now. I am using the charcoal for the background in my summer EPP project. Although they look like a solid in this photo, they have a lovely sketch pattern when seen in person.
Here is a the charcoal sketch in a better photograph:
Alice has got a range of 13 colours in stock including this one, called "pool":
And this one called Tangerine:
If you're going to Festival of Quilts, look out for Alice on stand G6 and keep an eye on her blog for a discount voucher for purchases made at the FoQ.

I love Sketch. I am stocking it in nearly every colour. Makes the most fantastic backgrounds and fillers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - I know you've been considering this background fabric for other projects too - and yeah, go on rub it in FoQ this coming weekend - sometime I'll get there - I promise
ReplyDeleteOh I so need some of that Tangerine!
ReplyDelete*drool*
ReplyDeleteThey sure are lovely, I can never decide which one I'd want tho!
ReplyDeleteI love these background fabrics, will have to check out Alice's stand at the Festival of Quilts!
ReplyDeleteYum
ReplyDeleteI love these semi-solids, too. They are like getting the advantages of a solid with a little texture for interest. These sketch fabrics remind me of one of my favorites, Robert Kaufman's "Quilter's Linen"--cotton fabric with a linen texture printed on it. Hopefully, they don't bleed like the "Quilter's Linen".
ReplyDeleteI like the effect of the fabrics! Not allowed to buy any though! =D
ReplyDeleteI do love the effect of these, they're on my ever growing 'to buy' list lol
ReplyDeleteThat charcoal fabric is stunning!
ReplyDeleteOh think this could be my go to fabric collection
ReplyDeleteThe charcoal fabric makes for a stunning quilt block! I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteI love sketch too & have lots of colors - many used in my most recent finish! I've mostly used them in small bits, but love the use of your charcoal as a background!
