Wander

After all the emotional reaction to Thursday's announcement from Pantone, I'm pretty sure many of us were on pins and needles awaiting Robert Kaufman's announcement of the KONA color of the year. So yesterday's release of Wander, was at least to me, a relief and a joy.

As a lover of green, I of course, was more than pleased. Called "A calm, confident green that invites curiosity and open-ended possibility," I see it as a welcome addition to my sewing stash.

Nocturne

Considering Kona cotton is usually the fabric I use most and stash, it's always fun to see what the new Kona Color of the Year will be. Just a few days ago, it was announced that the new limited edition color is NOCTURNE, a rich deep purple!

Browse through the lookbook, or the Kona IG feed @konacotton, and you'll see several samples of quilts made with Nocturne. I'm definitely a fan, and at some point will be ordering a bit to incorporate into my making for next year. Just for fun.

Julep

I know it's silly, but anticipating the new limited-edition Kona Color of the Year is fun! And it was just announced yesterday that the new color is JULEP!

Be sure and check out the lookbook, or the Kona IG feed, to see the quilts created to celebrate the new color. I think they show a nice myriad of ways to use Julep! And yes, I'll definitely be getting a bit of Julep to add to my stash, and look forward to using some in the new year. How about you?
