A Cozy Tour of Simply Charming and Morning Latte: Today’s Featured Fabrics at Hen & Chicks Studio

 

Today’s Tour de Chicks was overflowing with warm, inviting colors and fresh inspiration. We highlighted two beautiful new fabric collections—Simply Charming and Morning Latte—and shared the latest quilt kits and sample projects now on display in the shop. If you’re dreaming up your next quilt, this is the perfect place to start.

In today’s video tour, we took a closer look at two collections that bring both comfort and creativity into your sewing room.

We began with Simply Charming by Janet Nesbitt for Henry Glass Fabrics. This beautiful line features vintage-inspired florals, stitched textures, and soft tonal prints in a cozy palette of dusty rose, sage green, muted teal, taupe, tan, and warm ivory. These premium 100% cotton quilting fabrics are perfect for quilters who love scrappy, cottage-style designs. Whether you’re planning a throw quilt, table runner, tote bag, or decorative accents for your home, Simply Charming coordinates effortlessly and brings a timeless feel to any project.

We also debuted our new store sample—the Simply Charming Strip Down quilt using a pattern by GE Designs. This quilt shows just how beautifully the prints blend and gives you plenty of layout inspiration. You’ll find the full quilt kit available on our website if you’d like to make your own version.

Next, we explored Morning Latte by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs. Inspired by warm coffee tones and gentle neutrals, this collection offers soft, subtle prints that work beautifully as backgrounds, blenders, borders, and tonal accents. Morning Latte is ideal for quilters who appreciate quieter palettes that still offer depth and character. These fabrics mix well with modern, traditional, farmhouse, and scrap-style quilts.

We’re excited to use this line in our upcoming Hearth and Home fabric kit, featuring a pattern from Lori Holt’s Prairie Home book. With the soothing neutral palette of Morning Latte, this project will be a wonderful choice for anyone who loves calm, inviting quilts.

As always, we reminded viewers that our website is filled with helpful resources. You can watch all past Tour de Chicks videos, explore Mother Hen’s Highlights to see each week’s most-loved items, and start planning ahead by registering for our 2026 public retreats. Everything is in one place to make your creative journey easy and enjoyable.
