 Flutterby
These two prints make us think of little girl dresses! Make bibs or pillowcases, or add some accents and a background to create an adorable baby quilt.
 Emma's Garden
A good purple can be so difficult to find - it's why purple is our smallest collection in the shop. These lovely prints can be the star attraction of your next project!. Make a runner, a tablecloth, a throw, or a bed quilt - some, or all, of these will make it beautiful!
 Open Sky
by Clothworks
Almost every day, we have customers coming into the store in search of "Vermont" fabric - sometimes cows, but mostly, people are looking for wild animals, and wilderness. These prints will help that "Vermont" quilt along nicely.  Batiks by Hoffman And you thought all the visitors from VQF decimated our batik inventory...nope! These came last week, and brought some new life back to that section of the shop. There are some really great, new prints from Hoffman here - things we haven't ever seen before!  Classic Shirtings c. 1800s from Washington Street Studio by P&B Textiles It's always good to have a few extra shirtings in your stash to use as backgrounds in your scrappy Reproduction quilts. We can use another blue or two, right?  Elephant Garden by Clothworks This group looks very much like it arrived from India - which it did not! The elephant print (top in photo) has some bling, as does the triangle print below it. The floral (bottom in photo) is full of pretty colors, so you can make it a focus fabric in almost any project you want!  Various lines by Timeless Treasures Use the rich, fabulous border print (top/center in photo) to make a 60-degree runner in no time! We've all been admiring the color and design of every fabric in this group. It almost makes you want to sew something for fall...  Elementals: Petals from Artisan Batiks by Robert Kaufman These prints are just so pretty! Since they're basically tone-on-tone, they will work in almost any batik project you've got going. Some of us at the shop might be adding all five of these to our stashes! |
We've posted this class in the last several newsletters, and it's gotten a lot of interest - so much so that there are only
two spots remaining!
Marty's been ordering the patterns for the shop for a while now, and she makes sure we have a good mix - something for everyone. She just couldn't resist this super-cute pattern,
A Tale of Two Gnomes, from No. 2 Abbey Lane. Aren't they adorable? And the pattern includes instructions for two quilts!
