We can almost see spring...
It feels like it's right around the corner, and then we get hit again - more snow in the forecast. As usual March will come in like a lion...But it's staying light later, and the sun seems warmer than it did just two weeks ago. So we'll keep the faith that the flowers will bloom and the trees will bud - soon. We're seeing lots of customers buying bright, cheery fabrics, too, to get them through these last weeks of winter. Stop in and pick up a few pretty pieces, and make yourself a bag to celebrate the coming of spring. Maybe the greens in our Monthly Bundle will help you along.
Shop Hop 2018 is just about here! We're putting on the final touches at Yankee Pride so we're ready for your visit. The bolts are straightened, the bins are full, and we're looking forward to seeing you. Passports are still available, so stop in and pick one up if you haven't already. Our fingers are crossed for good weather and minimal mud so you can get from shop to shop with little to no hassle. We'll be running our very popular Fat Quarter Sale from March 16 - 18, so you can plan on building a great fat quarter stash!

Vermont Shop Hop 2018
 Shop Hop is coming! Shop Hop is coming! We still have passports, at $7 each, and this year's premium is a kit for making a lovely tulip block in the stained glass style. Fabric for the block and instructions are included.
For fun, Judy has taken the tulip block and changed its look (photo at right) - check out the easy fusing, and hand embroidery that spices it up and simplifies it a bit!
Yankee Pride's Shop Hop coupon is for 15% off precuts, excluding fat quarters, so if you've had your eye on a jelly roll, charm pack, or layer cake, Shop Hop would be the perfect time to pick them up!

 Anemone 2
from Artisan Batiks
Such popular colors...don't we always have room for just one more rich-looking batik? It's an accent, it's a border, it's a bag...we can always use another!
 Cotton Tale Farm
Oh, my goodness! These prints are the cutest thing we've seen this year! Sweet little pastel farm animals, just ready to be hugged. Make everything baby - quilts, receiving blankets, crib sheets, curtains, diaper bags, and more.
by Timeless Treasures
Transportation fabrics are as popular as ever, and Judy found these to add to your collection. Use them in quilts, or in bibs and receiving blankets. Make an adorable pair of pants, or a cute little hat. There are lots of possibilities here!  Batiks by Hoffman Just when we thought our batik inventory was getting a little low...we've gotten 35 bolts in the past three weeks! These prints to the left are a bit darker than the bunch from our last issue, and are just stunning! The photo below shows a few more batiks - the light ones needed to be photographed together, so we could show off their prints. Just in - one of these lovely lights is already gone! Someone bought the entire bolt...
