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.

I love the patterns I am seeing from this book, but not sure I would use corderoy in a quilt. The bag is just super in those colours - love it!
your quilt is gorgeous! I'd really fancy having a go at that pattern - I'd have to try and track down some corduroy first though and I doubt it's made it to our shores yet.
Love this book and love corduroy. I like the small bag you made. The fuchsia corduroy is lovely.
I have a huge box of corduroy scraps from the 1960s to the present time. I need some ideas to use them.
Thanks for sharing your projects made from this book. Very nice fabric choices.
I love your quilt and purse! Such great colors!
I am enjoying the bog tour. I am finding lots of blogs I have not been to before.
Thank you for a chance to win a copy!

I love your version of Fairlane and would like to make one.
I specifically bought corduroy to use in a quilt several years ago but have never found a quilt pattern I thought would work with it until now. Uncommonly Corduroy has several patterns I would like to use. The first would be "California Poppies".
I love your fuchsia purse. Who doesn't love hot pink.
Looks like a great book. I love the quilt and purse you made.
Lovely purse. your post inspired me to try working with corduroy.
The quilt pattern looks fascinating. Thanks!
I just love the idea of using soft cuddly corduroy in a quilt.
So curious about corduroy! Thanks for the chance to win!
love your version of Stephanie's quilt. Great little bag too.
I have the book.
Very lovely. I'm liking all the white in the quilt and bright pink in the purse.
Both of your projects look fabulous. Your pink bag is so pretty. The corduroy is such a good idea.
What a great book! Love the projects, especially the bags. Definitely will try quilting with corduroy. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Char, I love your quilt.. It's gorgeous!! The purse is really pretty too!! You make the most
Beautiful things!

I love your quilt, Char! It's amazing how different a pattern can look from color to color. Your bag is adorable - love that hot pink!
Cheers!
This book looks to have so many fabulous patterns. I love that you can use corduroy and am excited to get my hands on some and give it a try.
I love that purse! So cute, now to find some corduroy
Red would be interesting... If you used it for the main color it would shade as each block was turned. Interesting..... Love the design of the quilt. Very simple.
Yes, Char...red would be perfect! I look forward to seeing it. Meanwhile, I do like the quilt you made! Awesome!
March 2 is my birthday; this would maka a great present for me!! Your creations are beautiful!!!

Would love to win the e-book.
I think your red idea for the Fairlane quilt would be great. I love the bright colors you used for the purse. So hoping I win the ebook!
2225936I have come across your blog via Loft Creations. I love the way you can use either corduroy or cotton fabric for the patterns. The blog tour is a lovely idea.
I am so excited to see the pretty prints on the corduroy fabrics. Would love this book. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
I love the feel of corduroy, I remember having clothing made from it as a child. Would love to be making some quilts from it, very tactile.
A version of "Fairlane" in red corduroy is a great idea!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this book! I would love to try the corduroy!
I had not seen the quilt you made yet, but I LOVE this one I think the most so far. Very nice.
I have always wondered about using corduroy in quilting. I am going to try it for sure. Would love to win this book. Thanks for the giveaway.
That looks like a fun, different book. I do have some corduroy. I should try using it in a quilt. Great idea! Thanks.
What great quilts. A corduroy quilt would be fun to try! Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the patterns in this book. I know that I have some corduroy in my stash but I guess I should go and get some brightly coloured pieces. The little bag you made would be perfect for my middle daughter.
What fun. I'll be making something in corduroy for sure. Thanks kristikay@spratt.net
Dear, what great quilt. I love quilt!
Congratulations. Hugs Wal
Great looking book and I do like this quilt pattern very much. Your version looks lovely. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the book ... :) Pat
Amazing! I would never have used corduroy in a quilt. I want to try one now. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the little purse, so cute!
Char, your quilt and bag are wonderful. I will be making a quilt and adding corduroy. I can see a bag or two too!! Thanks for sharing in the blog hop and for a chance to play with Stephanie's book. Happy stitching, Pauline
You know I I have some corduroy stashed and ready to go...
Your quilt and bag is lovely and I have some corduroy I bought for a tote...maybe I will be lucky enough to win an eBook! Thanks for the chance.
Beautiful projects! That new corduroy fabric sounds so interesting. I'd love to own that book. Thanks for the opportunity.
You did the book proud! Love the bag and the quilt! Thanks for sharing.
The quilt and purses are great. Need to give corduroy a try and the fact that the patterns are easy and just as easy to follow, I suspect even I can make one. Thanks
Thanks for this! Love the fuchsia.
Yay! Your quilt looks great mommy!
Sister Sharon I think my GrandGirls would LOVE it!!!
