Alright, now that everything is picked out, it’s time to cut this puppy out! I bet you’re just imaging all the things you’ll stuff your wallet with and how you’ll have it organized. And the reaction you’ll get from the cashier when you say, “Oh thanks for noticing—I made this myself!”

As I sat at this year’s Lancaster Quilt Show, I had the pleasure of getting to know Tara, owner of Amelia’s Garden. She recently released her first pattern; the Perfect Wallet and I had the pleasure of trying it out. It’s such a pleasure, every time I whip it out of my purse! I love when someone comments on it & I get to tell them that I made it! (more…)

As I sat at this year’s Lancaster Quilt Show, I was drooling over the cork fabric in Amelia’s Garden, the stand straight across from me. I just kept walking over during a slow moment, touching it and thinking “what can I make with this?!”
Don’t worry—this story has a happy ending. The cork ended up being the fabric I chose for this fantabulous wallet, the Perfect Wallet! (Pattern review coming soon!)
But you might be wondering, just like I was, how do I sew cork!?
Sounds scary, right?
But it’s not! Cork is my new favorite sewing material and I’m just waiting for another cork project to come my way. Let me tell you all about it:

NOW onto us being friends!
My name is Rachel Rossi. I’m an independent pattern designer and a fabric designer for Benartex Fabrics. I grew up in a quilt shop and am so honored to carry on my mom’s legacy in my own way. I love to connect with quilters and shop owners through my newsletter, on Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, so make sure to connect with me there!
If you’re curious about what my fabrics look like, I’d encourage you to check them out! I’m passionate about creating beautiful things AND improving the world one small step at a time. While my fabrics aren’t organic, I am proving to the world that there are creative ways to change how we produce our products to create a more positive impact on the environment and human lives.
My fabrics are printed on unbleached cotton, OEKO-Tex Standard 100 Certified, and digitally printed. Each of these factors was carefully considered as we created my fabric and I’m proud to say that I believe this is the first small step in the right direction.
Before I was a fabric designer, I was a quilt pattern designer (and still am)! I have an enormous ever-growing library full of awesome patterns (not just quilty ones), classes, threads, and notions. Make sure to stop in the shop and have a look around. Here are a few of my fan favorites:
As if that wasn’t enough, I’ve got a blog full of tutorials, free patterns, and tidbits that you’re sure to love. If you need a good read tonight, make sure to check it out! Here are a few of my favorites:
