Today I have the pleasure of being the 6th stop on the Uncommonly Corduroy book tour. This book is the first book for Stephanie Dunphy of Loft Creations. It’s all about quilting with corduroy.
As you all know I am one of Stephanie’s Supremes and as such I get to test patterns before they are published. I’ve been waiting a long time to share the pattern I tested for this book. Here is Fairlane in the book

and this is my version. I didn’t use corduroy in my quilt. I enjoyed making this quilt, It’s wonderful how these simple blocks made such a great geometric quilt. I’m thinking a red corduroy version would look good in my family room.
Last week I used corduroy to make another item from the book. This is the small purse on the book cover called Sister Sharon.

In my version I used a soft fuchsia corduroy which was leftover from a jumper I made long ago. It’s a great pattern and the corduroy had a soft hand and was very easy to quilt. I think this would be a good choice when you need a quick gift.
Uncommonly Corduroy is available form Martingale and Amazon. A personalized copy of Stephanie’s book can be obtained here.
