Fall leaves...
If you look closely, you can see that a few of the trees in our countryside are beginning to signal the end of summer. Yes, we have another heat wave coming, but the trees know what the trees know. So our attention turns to one of our favorite seasons - full of color, texture, and lots of leaf-peepers.
With fall getting ready to stroll in, we turn our thoughts to new projects; things we can work on as the days get shorter, and the breeze turns cooler. It's time to plan your big project now, so you can prep everything early, then sew when the weather turns. Thanksgiving table decorations? Find your pattern now. Christmas gifts? Get your fabric, and start paging through your magazines and books. If you're short on inspiration, stop by the shop - Rae has been changing up the projects hanging on the walls, and she's putting our class samples up, so there are all kinds of new things to see. We can't wait to see you!

| Recent Fabric Arrivals These are several of the arrivals in the past two weeks: NOTE: For a close-up look at the fabrics, click on the photos!
 Indigo Cottage
These Reproduction blues are awesome! Make a beautiful quilt, a bag, a runner, or all of the above. We're sure you'll love these prints!
 Dimples
We've carried this line for several years - at one time, we had almost every color in the collection! They're some of the most versatile prints in the shop - they work everywhere. Here are some new colors, just in case you need to complete your own collection.
 Metropolis
from BasicGrey
by Moda
These prints will appeal to everyone, whether you like modern, traditional, Daiwabo, or even Reproduction. We can all use a few neutrals. And check out the print at the top of the pyramid - it's all 50 state names - very cool.  Badda Bing from Me & My Sister by Moda We had the charm packs for this line in the last newsletter - here are the complementary prints Judy ordered on the bolt. They always design fun fabrics, don't they?  Sparkle Suede by P&B Textiles Sometimes your light backgrounds need just a little bling. Any of these four prints will fit the bill. Judy ordered two with gold bling, and two with silver bling. Now everybody's happy!  Gradients by Moda Moda is really taking the digitally printed fabrics to another level - the colors are just stunning! You might have to think a little to come up with a project that highlights these fabrics, but no matter what you create, it will be beautiful!  Snowmen Meadow by P&B Textiles We tried to keep the holiday fabrics contained to one section of the newsletter this time...isn't this line just adorable? There are so many ideas here - placemats, table runners, Christmas stockings, throw quilts, and more. Every time someone catches a glimpse of this line, we hear "Awww!". The panel (photo below) works up quickly - just border the squares, and your favorite child will have the cutest keepsake! 
 How the Grinch Stole Christmas Advent Calendar by Robert Kaufman They've done it again! The previous Grinch advent calendar was so popular that they reprinted it three years in a row. For this new one, the ornaments are two-sided, and you flip the number side over to see the ornament for each day. Click here for the free pattern. |
