NEW FABRIC  THIS WEEK!!!!!
 


From Benartex - Harvest Berries - a small fall group includes a panel and precut strips and charms. We have a couple plans to kit this group, one will use a charm pack and one will use the panel.
From P&B - 8 new Apple Cider Basics -These are perfect backgrounds for both piecing and applique. Come on now, use up that stash!!


From P&B - 2 new 108" wide backs - Everyone loves P&B suede printed cotton now we have the most popular colors available in extra wide! #NOBODYWANTSTOPIECETHEBACK

From Moda - Frosted Flannels - Holly Taylor has taken a few favorite winter images, painted them in rich hues and brought them to life on super soft cotton flannel. There are snowshoes, snowmen, skis, and sleds to enjoy while bundled up in a cozy quilt. The panel features six different scenes to mix with coordinating prints for quilts and accessories. Doug Leko has created another great book with 20 projects to use this fabric line. Holly Taylor and Doug Leko make a great team!
From Moda - KT Favorites - Let's keep it simple! Kansas Troubles fabrics feature colors and prints that blend effortlessly for beautifully scrappy quilts that blend from one year to the next. These favorites are perfect to use with fabrics you already have or new collections coming in the future. Remember we have all the precuts for this line already too! There are 40 pieces in this line and we have them all!!
NEW KITS!!!!!
Chasing Stars - We put together a couple kits using precuts and some of the yardage from KT Favorites to make this throw size quilt designed by Lynn Hagmeyer. How do you like it?


Frosted Flannels - This beauty is from Doug Leko's new book Winter Manor. It uses 2 layer cakes, a panel, and yardage from the Frosted Flannel line. Don't wait too long these usually go really fast.
NEW BOOK!!!!!
Winter Manor - by Doug Leko - This book features Holly Taylor's new Frosted Flannels line. There are 20- projects. Half of them are table runners and half are quilts. Doug's books are always so popular, I wouldn't wait too long to pick up a copy!
