 Modern Melody Basics
Let's start with something bright and happy! These tone-on-tone prints will be great in any project you're making - they lend the color you need, but the prints don't distract from your focus fabric. As you can see, we've got some great colors, so add to your stash today!
 The Hen House
by Windham
For reasons we can't quite figure out, chicken fabrics are popular - all the time! Judy ordered this new line for its great color and great design. The panel (top in photo) is perfect for making easy placemats, and the complementary fabrics would be great napkins, or combined, would make a fun runner or wall hanging. We really love the black & white henhouse print (bottom right in photo)!
 30s Playtime
by Moda
If you've been in the shop recently, you know we have a good collection of 30s fabrics. This new group enhances what we've got, and adds some great lights.
 Farmer John's Garden Party
from Paintbrush Studios by Fabri-Quilt We are also known for having a nice-sized produce section in the shop. These are the newest arrivals - summer berries and apples. We like them for napkins, aprons, jar quilts, or runners. One of our customers showed us a Yellow Brick Road made from healthy food prints on one side, and junk food prints on the back - a fun, creative idea!
 Hedgehog Village from Paintbrush Studios by Fabri-Quilt Hedgehogs first started showing up about 2 years ago. They're so darn cute in fabric form that we don't think they're going away any time soon. These two prints, with some complementary fabrics, would make the cutest baby quilt!  Harvest by Timeless Treasures It's not a bad idea to think about fall projects now - it gives you more time to complete them. This border print (top in photo) will make a striking runner for your Thanksgiving table!  The panel (left) can just be hemmed and hung on the wall for easy decoration - now all you'll have to do is make dinner!
More holiday fabrics have arrived! Once again, we've gotten some really great winter/Christmas fabrics, and they're already out on the floor - come in and take a peek!
 Winter's Grandeur 5
by Robert Kaufman We're seeing some really glorious fabrics this year! Gorgeous colors and prints, most with a little bit of bling. Add some of these to your holiday collection, and give your next project some sparkle!  Holiday Flourish 10 by Robert Kaufman Snowflakes seem to be a popular theme with our holiday fabrics this year. Paired with some stunning colors, these snowflakes will shine on your table, on your wall, or on your couch, if you're inclined to make a large project. Have fun!  Winter's Friends by P&B Textiles This line has inspired us already - Judy made a wall hanging, and Cindy made a table runner - both in time to display at the shop during VQF. We love the trees, the snowmen, the moose, and there they are - hedgehogs again! We have a border print (top in photo), mini panel squares (center), and complementary prints - you can make an entire project with just this line! |
We had a great time last weekend, seeing people's blocks - there were six of us displaying our progress so far, and they all look so different! Our original plan was to meet twice a month, but for June, we will be unable to schedule a meeting for next Saturday, June 24. We will be right smack in the middle of the Vermont Quilt Festival! Blockheads, keep working on your blocks for the next meeting, the second Saturday in July.
