Radiance by Robert Kaufman
Have you happened upon Radiance yet? I mentioned it when I came back from Market, and have enjoyed petting this bundle, from Jackie, since it arrived last week -
Yum! I love the sheen and smooth texture. And with a 1/2 yard of each color, the options are many! Radiance is 55% cotton and 45% silk and available in 50 beautiful colors.
I have visions of an entire quilt made with these (imagine a paper pieced quilt!). It will be amazing, and I can’t wait to get to it!
Meanwhile, I was browsing online and found this coat.

I would love to make a trench and embellish a panel or two. I looked around for a pattern and found a couple that I could see altering -
Vogue, Butterick, Indygo Junction, Simplicity
Are you inspired yet? I have a few new ideas just writing this post!
Radiance is beautiful, and with the cotton to stabilize the silk, it doesn’t stretch as you sew, and a few pins will help keep it from sliding off itself as you sew. Quilts, apparel, home decor – sew it all!
Check in with Jackie for your own bundle of Radiance, I can’t wait to see more of it popping up online.

Yes I’m inspired…and another really good thing about altering a coat is when you are finished with it…you have a good section of a quilt all ready to go :)
These are the sorts of things I thought I’d see at Market…people wearing their creations…and I don’t see very many. I love the idea.

Looks amazing! Giveaway, giveaway!!!
OOH! That fabric is GORGEOUS! Like you, I’d like to pet it, too! I love the depth of the color and that while it’s a solid, it’s not solid (due to the sheen). Makes sense?
I can so see that coat… I say go for it!
Great idea!
I LOVE Radiance by Kaufmann!! I use it when I do whole cloth quilting and with trapunto. A friend uses it to make dreamy nighties/sleepwear. It handles well and is washable and it definitely has a ‘wow factor’ going for it!

It does look beautiful…there’s no LQS here, so I may have to fall off the wagon and order some! LOL
Radiance looks quite yummy, no wonder there has been much petting… Silk is a fabooo fabric to handle. The Silk/Cotton combination sounds perfect for quilters of almost all levels. I sure hope you make the trench coat, it will be stunning.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
I cried when I saw the date today. What happened to the year?
Yes, I am very inspired! I just made a tote with some quilting and patch work and could certainly see extending to my next non-quilt item like clothing. And that cotton silk looks practically smooth as a … well you know :)
Oh, how pretty! I have throw pillows and a fun skirt in mind (now way I could tackle an entire trench coat!!) Can’t wait to see what your creative mind does with that fabulous stack! Smiles~Beth P.S. I am not sure!! December definately snuck up on me too!
Thank you for adding yet another thing to my wish list! Radiance looks lovely. I can only imagine how soft it must feel.
Guess what I ordered today???? ;-)
Yup, 25 yards of PFD Radiance!
So glad you love yours and can’t wait to see it in that project of yours!
Ok, that fabric looks awesome. I want some.
