It's dreary and gray...
Are you feeling the January blues? You know what we're talking about - there's no color other than dull gray anywhere outside, and you just want to go home, and go back to bed. Some days we feel it too. But we've discovered something that chases those blues away - a visit to the quilt shop! When you walk in the door, and see all that fabric rainbow, your day is suddenly brighter. So stop in, wander around, take in the glorious fabrics, and maybe pick up a new piece or two for your stash. You'll feel better! 

Our Spring 2018 class schedule is ready to go! Click here to to check it out online - we've got classes and tea parties, and we're sure you'll find something you want to make! For a copy you can print out in its entirety, click here

Thoroughbreds
by Andover

Horse prints have been hard to come by recently, and we always have customers looking for good ones. Judy found these and thought you would like them. The panel (top in photo) has several gorgeous horses, and works together quickly for an easy lap or throw quilt.

 

 



 
Summer Breeze V
by Moda

Oh, aren't these beautiful?! The first line of Summer Breeze was so popular that they've introduced a new line every year with the same lovely blues, yellows and whites. Think spring, and make a beautiful bed quilt, or a cheerful runner. We have charm packs and layer cakes, too!

 

 

 

 

 

Dinosaurs
by Timeless Treasures

We love the realistic look of these dinosaurs - perfect for the dino lover in your life. Make a quilt, or pajamas, or a bag - whatever you create will be a hit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Novelty fabrics

by dear Stella

The world under the surface of the ocean seems to be popular this year - we've been getting great fish fabrics for quite a while now. The allover print (center in photo) looks like all the motifs were hand-drawn - so much fun! Make a great kids quilt using that piece and a few complementary fabrics - you'll love making it as much as the recipient will love getting it.

 

 

 

 

 


 


 



 

 

Confetti

from Me & My Sister

by Moda

We carry lots of fabric from these designers, and  their newest line gives you some fun shapes to add to the prints you already have! We love making bright, happy projects - don't you?
