It’s time to talk about the fabrics that we all think are strange, or fun, or weird or just unusual.

Well, “they” (the ladies in the shop - specifically Sarah, Jessica and Rachael - have been very, very busy with a variety of things going on, so it’s going to be up to me this month! I chose a few to show you and I’ll explain why.

First of all, this Riley Blake cowgirl fabric. Why? Well, simply because most cowboy fabric is distinctly masculine in browns and golds and greens. So, if you’ve got a cowgirl in the family who doesn’t mind one bit being feminine with these colors, consider this!

The next one I chose is this one - Whoopie Pies. I chose it because I simply don’t know how I would use it in a quilt. If I had a child who loved these things, they would make a great backing fabric - but otherwise, you’ve got me stumped! Oh, I’m sure I could figure something out if I had some here in Poland, but I don’t. So I can just admire it from a afar.

This next one is great if you have a cat quilt - or are going to make one, this might work as a subtle laugh - otherwise…I’m really not sure how one would use it.

This one by Moda/Sweetwater is actually words! I thought it was interesting and I like it!

This amazing dinosaur fabric is unusual simply because of the subject matter. It is from the specialty room, meaning my sis purchased it specially for you because people have been asking for something like this.

Usually when we have religious fabrics or ones that have Bible verses on them, they don’t look whimsical. This one does to me. So, I’m classifying as unusual - but adorable! These houses, school and churches are flipped around various directions and in the background is the verse, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” from the book of Joshua in the Old Testament.

Then, this unusual fabric showing women with very, very long, thin legs riding bikes by Quilting Treasures is sure to bring a smile to someone’s face!

But I couldn’t stop. If you are making QOV, I’d encourage you to add a piece of this in your quilt - especially if it is for an older man! He would love it!

So there you are - my choices of June’s “unusual” fabrics just for you! Be sure to check these out if any of them interest you - and many others. Spend time in our novelty fabrics! We have a lot and you will at least smile when you see many of them even if you don’t need them!

Have a great day wherever you are reading this!
