A First Look at “Lucky Loom”: New Fabrics Are Here!

We are so excited to announce that the Fableism Lucky Loom fabric collection is here at North Star Quilt Shop! If you love modern colors, soft textures, and cheerful design — this collection might just become a favorite. In this post, I’ll walk you through what makes this collection special, share ideas on how to work with it, and give you a head start on planning quilt (or project!) ideas.

“Lucky Loom” is a 100% cotton, yarn‑dyed woven collection launched by Fableism Supply Co. The palette sparkles with rainbow‑inspired hues — golden yellows, soft pinks, earthy greens, tranquil blues, and rich purples — ideal for creating quilts, home décor, and accessories that radiate warmth, whimsy, and personality. 

Why Lucky Loom Works — What Makes It Special

• Warm, versatile color palette: The rainbow-inspired palette balances vibrant and soft tones, giving you flexibility. Combine a bold “wings in rainbow” stripe with more subtle solids or textures to make blocks pop. 
• Rich woven texture: Because Lucky Loom is yarn-dyed woven cotton, it adds depth and tactile interest — great if you want your quilt not just to look handmade, but to feel handmade.
• Mixed weights & versatility: The collection includes fabrics with varying weights and textures, which means you can use them for full quilts, patchwork, tote bags, pillows, or even home décor with character. 
• Playfulness & modern aesthetic: The combination of colors and textures strikes a balance between modern design and cozy handmade charm — perfect for quilters who want their finished pieces to feel contemporary, joyful, and timeless.

How to Plan Projects with Lucky Loom — Ideas & Inspiration

If you’re thinking about what to make with this collection, here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

• Modern Rainbow Quilt: Use the bright stripes and varied hues to create a quilt full of color movement — perfect for a cheerful throw.
• Textured Patchwork Tote or Bag: Combine heavier woven pieces for structure, plus bright stripes or solids for visual interest.
• Home Décor Accents: Pillows, table runners, or even wall‑hung quilts — the woven texture and color variety make these fabrics ideal for decorative touches.
• Mix & Match with Neutrals: Pair Lucky Loom with low-volume solids or calming neutrals to let the colors shine without becoming overwhelming.
• Scrappy / Scrap-Friendly Quilts: Because of the woven texture variety, scraps or leftovers can make beautiful scrappy quilts — each piece unique in feel and color.

Seasonal & Gift Ideas

Since this collection has such a joyful, rainbow-inspired vibe, it’s perfect for seasonal quilts, cheerful gifts, or projects meant to bring warmth and comfort. A “welcome blanket,” a colorful baby quilt, or a fun housewarming piece — Lucky Loom makes these a delight to create and to gift.

What to Know Before You Work With It

Because Lucky Loom uses woven cotton with varied textures and weights:

• Prewash carefully: As with many woven/richer fabrics, prewashing before cutting is smart — especially if you anticipate shrinking or want to ensure color safety.
• Mind seam allowances: With woven fabrics, clean sewing and consistent seams help preserve shape and ensure durability.
• Mix thoughtfully: Because some pieces may be heavier or more textured than others, consider mixing heavier with lighter fabrics in balance (e.g., a heavier woven back or border with lighter blocks).
• Test & plan swatches: If you’re mixing with other collections or solids — cut small swatches, lay them out, and test how they read together before committing.

Final Thoughts

We at North Star Quilt Shop are thrilled to have Lucky Loom in stock — and we can’t wait to see what you create! From bold rainbow quilts to cozy home décor, this collection offers endless possibilities for fun, colorful, and textured projects.
