Eureka, Baby

You know how sometimes there’s a line of fabrics that just SPEAKS to you? That hits that sweet spot inside your fabric-obsessed heart, and you just know you need some, like, yesterday, and you just know exactly what to do? These kinds of feelings are a bit rare. Sure, there’s plenty of fabric that I love and admire and get, but then it just sits and waits for “one day”. That’s what normally happens, right? But Eureka by Emma Jean Jansen? I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. And when I was almost inappropriately enthusiastic about it in person at Australian Quilt Market, she believed in my passion and sent me some to play with.

Wanna know a secret? I didn’t even realise it had gold metallic accents throughout it, haha! I’d fallen hard for this line via Instagram, but clearly had just double-tapped without reading properly and noting that it had the gold in it. I’m a bit of a sucker for a metallic gold in my fabrics!

I think it’s the colours that have stolen my heart. That peachy coral pink, with the sweet aquas, and deep blues. Even this mustard-over-chartreuse-thanks girl can appreciate the tart green! And the geometric shapes and lines, the story behind the prints… I just can’t even. This delicious bundle is destined to be my next quilt pattern, and I’m itching to play after I’ve finished my next deadline project this week!
