Happy Shop Hop!!
It's time to hit the road! Got your passport and a list of what you're looking for? Great! No passport yet? That's ok. Passports are available at all participating shops, for just $7 (+tax). Your premium this year is a free half yard of fabric (less than $15/yd), and it must be chosen at the time of passport purchase.
Each shop looks forward to seeing all of you - we've got in-store raffles, free patterns, and plenty of fun things to show you. The best part? You don't need to rush - Shop Hop runs the whole month of March!

Putting a clean finish on our quilts is so satisfying. Whether we're entering a show, giving a gift, or making something for ourselves, the binding - that last step - is important to get right. Let Marti show you how she creates and adds a beautiful binding. For some projects, you want a simple finish, and for others, a binding with a little flair - she will teach you how to do both in a one-day class. Click here for more information, or to sign up!

Stars and Stripes
by Andover Fabrics
|
A few fun fabrics to add to our patriotic print inventory. The shooting stars (top in photo) is actually very similar to a Moda print we also carry. But we haven't seen anything like the curvy star print (bottom in photo)! It's unique and whimsical, and brings a different look to your Quilt of Valor or your Independence Day projects.

Bunny Lane
from Wishwell
by Robert Kaufman
|
Oh, my goodness - what sweet fabrics! These are wonderful for decorating a nursery, or making a baby quilt or diaper bag. The scenic print (bottom in photo) is great for cutting apart into block centers - the sheep are at the end of a lane, the bunnies are at a garden gate, and more. We really love these! |

Gingerlily
from Renee Nanneman
by Andover Fabrics
|
Coordinates bring a lot to the quilt party. These two prints have a lot of movement, and they're also interesting colors. The dark (bottom in photo) is not quite pink, and not quite red. The lighter (top in photo) is a bit brighter than the classic dusty pink. Each one will draw your eye, but for different reasons. Great to have in your stash for adding some pop to your project. |

Dottie
from Lunn Studios for Artisan Batiks
by Robert Kaufman
|
What a beautiful range of blues and greens! This batik group is full of dots, and feels like you're under the ocean. Some dots sway, and some squiggle as if they're moving with the underwater flow, but they all want to go home to your stash! Our favorite just might be the blue-on-green (second row, right in photo) - it appears to be an optical illusion at first, so look closely! |

Sometimes, when you're planning a new quilt, what you really need is a classic print. Dots, for example. Simple dot prints can be hard to find. Judy brought this group in just for that reason. They work in several different kinds of quilts. With a variety of colors, you can find one here that will work perfectly in your new project, can't you? |
