What’s Your REMIX? with Fat Quarter Shop & Cotton + Steel

Cotton + Steel has done it again! We’re showing you their NEW Fall 2014 collection today and their inspirations. PLUS! Keep on reading for a surprise!

Melody Miller is no stranger in the fabric industry! Her newest collections Playful is inspired by her favorite vintage games!

From her trip to Japan, Sarah Watts fell in love with the culture of the country, and especially the long train rides she took to all of the different cities. Tokyo Train Ride is inspired by her sketches from her trip and all of the things she loved about it. 

Alexia Abegg’s second collection, Mesa, was inspired by her childhood road trips to the Southwest. She draws upon her experiences with animals, evergreens, and motifs that you might find during those trips. 

Being known the vintage fabric aficionado, it’s no surprise that Kim Kight was inspired by vintage Betty Crocker cook books and baking paraphernalia from the 1960’s for her newest collection, Cookie Book. These prints are yummy enough to eat! 


Rashida Coleman-Hale takes a leap back to her biggest inspiration, Japan. In her new collection, Mochi, she illustrates the Japanese folk tale about the Rabbit in the Moon and making mochi (rice cakes). These prints are so playful but still sophisticated for all your sewing projects.
