Can you believe it’s the last week in January?? I’m so glad. I’m all for skipping the rest of this winter stuff and moving straight into spring and summer! Speaking of summer…I get to share with you my 4th fabric line for Windham Fabrics, Dixie!
I knew this line was going to come out during the summer, unlike my other lines that have come out late in the fall. So I went for bright and happy and summery! I also wanted this line to coordinate really well with my previous line Hazel. Dixie is more vibrant, more saturated, and has a little bit of Southern charm, but also goes well with Hazel.
My favorite print to use so far has been the tile print. It’s a versatile basic in colors that should blend perfectly into your stash. There will also be 108″ wide backs using the tile print…and I loooove not having to piece the backing.
This cherry print was based off a favorite feedsack fabric I’ve had for years. I bought a swatch of it in Amish country at a swap meet when I lived in Ohio in 2008, and now it’s finding new life. My Mom whipped out the cutest apron with it:
I will have more Dixie and projects to share in the coming weeks and months, but for now I’m just happy to finally share with you this line. If only our weather outside matched it!
Dixie is available to quilt shops now through your Windham rep, and will be out in stores this summer.
Oooh, so pretty. Can’t decide which color I like better!
Oh, love the colors in this new fabric line. So many special prints. Beautiful!
I love the colors!
I love how bright and cheery it looks! And the cherry print is awesome!
Oh, I love it! I really loved Hazel too so I’m glad they coordinate.
Love the line. I love Hazel, too. My mother and Grandmother’s names are Hazel and I got fat quarters of the line and made myself a quilt using it-such a lovely collection.
MERCY this fabric is YUMMY!!!! I definitely need it in my life… O wait my stash!!!
Oh, I love your new line. Wish it were available. I’m currently doing Lori Holt’s Bloom QAL, with fabric from my stash, and these would be wonderful in it.
so colorful
Dixie is Gorgeous! It’s a definite coordinate for Hazel. This is definitely on my Must Have list.
Love, love , love Dixie!
So right for summer!
I love it! It has a reproduction 30’s feel to it.
Oh my, so fun!!! Love it!!! And yes, it is going to go so well with Hazel!!! Love those cherries and the tile prints, perfect!!!!
Essa pilha de tecido é tão bonita as cores que meus olhos brilhão ao comtemplar,parabéns pela escolha.Valéria.

I love this line of fabric! Makes me smile :) Such a happy collection!
I can’t wait for this to come out. Such happy colors and prints.
I have two quilts in progress using Hazel, so I can see more quilts in my future using Dixie! Love, love, love!!
Great colors and patterns! Cannot wait! Our quilt shop has Hazel and I love it!
Gorgeous! I love the colors and that feedback print is perfect!
*feedsack. Darn you autocorrect!
Super cute! I can’t wait, but your pincushion pattern link doesn’t work.
It’s fixed now! :)
LOVE THIS FABRIC! I will be purchasing asap……it’s my colors and makes me all kinds of happy! And I was wanting to make the pincushion, but that link didn’t work :( Just wanted you to know….
Thank you! The link is fixed now! :)
Very pretty. I love it! Where can I see more of the floral print?
very pretty
Sweet!!! Love those tile prints!!!! The bright colors are perfect for summer sewing!
Congratulations! I love the tile prints. So bright and cheery.
It’s adorable! Congratulations!
Oh, that green. I can’t get enough!
By the way (dorky fan girl moment) I’ve made two quilts using your raw-edge circle tutorial, and they are two of my favorite ever! And the first was made with a pile of uglies and random novelty prints (and a little magic Denyse-Schmidt-makes-everything-better), to boot! Ya just might be a genius!
Love the new line coming out! I can’t seem to open the pin cushion link ;-/
The link is fixed now! :)
So beautiful !! I hope Australian stores will stock this range and the widebacks !!
I agree with the previous commenter- I hope our Australian stores stock this line- I love it!
Absolutely darling!! I just love your style. 😊 Keep up the gorgeous work!
Oh this is soooo great Allison! I have a bundle of Hazel that is just waiting for Dixie. Both lines are so wonderful and look both modern and retro all at the same time. Great work designing!
i love your new line, Dixie!! The prints and the colors are absolutely gorgeous- so, so pretty!! The little apron your Mom made is so cute!! The feedsack fabric mixes beautifully with your fabric!! I live in Ohio and one of my favorites for shopping for fabric is there in Berlin and Charm!:) I can remember you writing about the Amish way back then!:)
Those cherries are delicious!
Dixie – I love how you name your lines – simple & perfect. Your mom…..she has some serious creative sewing skills! I love everything about this line – congratulations! I’ll be getting my hands on yards & yards of this one, too!
BUTTON CUTE
Oh my goodness. I adore all of these colors and patterns.
The apron is really sweet. I love the pincushion too
Beautiful! I love your fabrics and patterns.
Beautiful fabrics and such fun colors! I am also a big fan of the 108″ wide backing fabric, so I am very excited about that.
So Pretty! I knew it was time for your next fabric release! I’m going to get this one too!! You have the best fabric colors that make a person smile. I wish it was available now but I’ll be patient. Thank you for another very pretty set!
Really cute! Great work!
I love the line, Allison! The tile print is gorgeous, especially the pink on pink print. Can’t wait to snatch this up when it comes out!
Love the fabric! Love the apron (your mom is talented) and pin cushion too! Very glad the fabric coordinates with your last line because I have some of that too!
Love the colors! What is the quilt pattern in the first frame?
Hi Berta! That pattern is called Basket Case and is in my pattern shop, it’s one of my early patterns so you have to scroll down a bit to the bottom of the page!
Gorgeous!
OMG ALLISON!!! You make my fabric obsessed heart sing! This collection is going to help me mix so much of my existing stash together!
I really love your new quilt letterpress. The blue is wonderful.
I really like the tile print in the bright colors. Geometries are so appealing to me. Thank you.
I just love your new Dixie Collection I have decided to redo my sewing room in these colors and I love that Aurifil has the matching threads this is so exciting I can’t wait to get started.
Love these bright, summery fabrics – perfect for sewing for my 7 year old granddaughter!
Hi, I love your fabrics & threads. Is a great idea to match thread with the fabric.
Have been quilting for some time & have used only white thread but of late been thinking of using colors to match the fabrics. This would be a great time to start.
Thanks for sharing.
