The New and improved Mexican Bingo cards.....just released and ready to purchase! 29 Jan 2013 7:57 PM (12 years ago)

It has been many years in the making. I started with an idea to get together a large order of Loteria print by Alexander Henry. This took me over 5 years to do. I collected 2500 yds on backorder for the reprint of the fabric. But alas, basically couldn't get a reprint because of a copyright issue. I was crushed.  

A light popped on in my mind.... an idea that would allow my customers to have the "Loteria" fabric but with a twist. How about a mixture of the Mexican card game and Dia de los Muertos! About a two years ago, I arranged a meeting with the owner of Alexander Henry.The owner was very interested. Early August 2012 I met with the owner again. I heard that my idea was put into action and they were going to print! Yaay!. He brought me over to a small room and I saw it. It's beautiful, my eyes teared up. My idea of Loteria with Day of the Dead on fabric. After I got to see the proofs of the fabric, I met & chatted with Nicole, one of the awesome fabric designers at AH. She is really nice and fun to talk to. There are 5 colorways available on this fabric. Natural, Black & Natural, Black, Light Pink and Tea. 




It has 24 cards on the design. Each card from the chain design, not cutting the nice edge is 2.75" x 4"

A new loteria fabric print from Alexander Henry, very exciting news! 10 Jul 2012 12:44 PM (12 years ago)

I had so many people contact me about ordering "Loteria" fabric, that I decided to pull together an order to get a reprint done, I contacted Alexander Henry and found out that I needed to have an order of 2000 yds to place a reprint order. Unfortunately by the time that I had collected the orders, they could not reprint it. About a year ago, I arranged a meeting with the owner of Alexander Henry. I had an order of over 2500 yds for their famous "Loteria" print that has been out of print since 2008. I came up with an idea that would allow my customers to have the "Loteria" fabric but with a twist. The owner was very interested.

Yesterday I met with the owner again. I heard that my idea was put into action and they were going to print! Yaay!. He brought me over to a small room and I saw it. It's beautiful, my eyes teared up. My idea of Loteria with Day of the Dead on fabric. After I got to see the proofs of the fabric, I met & chatted with Nicole, one of the awesome fabric designers at AH. She is really nice and fun to talk to. I will be interviewing her about this fabric and posting it on my blog in September.

The fabric will be in ready to ship in September. They will be sending me the color proof cards in about 2-3 weeks. As soon as I get them, I will post the pictures and taking preorders for these awesome fabrics. There will be 4 colorways and there are coordinates that go with the fabric too!

New Lakehouse fabrics coming to Belle Pepper Fabrics! 19 Jan 2011 9:25 AM (14 years ago)

Have you heard about Lakehouse? When I think of Lakehouse, I don't really think of fabric. I think of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, in the romantic movie that crosses the barriers of time. We were just introduced to these amazing new fabrics designed by the brand Lakehouse. All of the designs of Lakehouse are inspired by Vintage designs with a French influence.

The picture of the single cake, isn't a good representation. There are many cakes that are separated by space, so that you can make them into squares without doing applique. All of the cakes are decadent. They are elegant and look like those old etching prints. The tea cups are the same.

The design with the pink background with the cakes is a smaller print that has words in the background.

This new fabric collection of Lakehouse is just amazing and we will be getting it in within the next 2 weeks! We will be offering presale at Belle Pepper Fabrics website and Etsy shop. Also, you can come into Dancing Bear Indian Trader to either reserve your yardage or see them in person.

Dancing Bear Indian Trader has the entire collection of Belle Pepper Fabrics in their store. There are over 150 different novelty fabrics in Dancing Bear Indian Trader, they also carry over 150 Native American Fabric, Southwest Indian Fabric, Northwest Coast Indian Fabric and Native Fabric. The store location is: 135 E Broadway, Vista, CA 92084 760-726-2323. The website is: http://www.dancingbearindiantrader.com

Hello Loteria Fans,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been working very hard at sending out orders and helping my mom. Also one of my good friends John died about two weeks ago, so it has been a rollercoaster. http://legacy.com/SignOnSanDiego/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=129253649

Right now the orders that I have are totalling 600 so far. Keep spreading the word! I have been getting requests and orders, they have been trickling in. I do also have a potential person interested in a big chunk, cross your fingers!

Also, this was a cool blog that contacted me, and let me know that she talked about the Quest for the reprint of the Loteria fabric. http://maisonceleste.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/like-i-need-a-hole-in-the-head/ Check it out! I just love that pic of the doll with the loteria dress!

Talk to you soon!

Dick & Jane-Spanish Style Baby Quilt Pattern 31 May 2009 2:08 PM (15 years ago)

Now you are ready to finish off this quilt! Unless you want to add more decorative quilting.

Option: Embroider the Baby's name on the bottom right corner. Before quilting the pieces together. Or do it after, and use a wash away intefacing, since babys don't like hard edges.

Trim the batting to 1" from the edge of the black stars and moons border.

Square off the backing fabric, so that you have about 2" from the edge of the batting.

Fold backing onto itself 1" and fold it onto the edge of the black border. It should over lap about 1/4". Pin all of it down around the whole quilt.

Machine stich or handstitch the edge.

Miter fold and sew down the corners.

And you are done!

Design variations:
Add more strips to the border. Example: Make an additional border in the colors from the fabric.

I sell the Dick and Jane fabric and the stars and moons fabric in a set for this baby blanket!
