Word Play Fabric



So many great new black and white fabrics!!! We have noticed the theme of letters and numbers on everything including these fabrics by Benartex. If you are looking for this color combination, we have a great selection.

New precuts from Moda's "Its a Hoot" by MoMo are here. Happy colors of pink, soft green, turquoise, brown and splashes of gray. Of course there are also a few owls here and there. Don't forget to always check out Moda's website. Under fun stuff, look at the free patterns in the bake shop. Patterns and ideas using their new fabrics are added weekly.

Amy Butler alert!!! New pattern arrival--"honey bun poufs". If you loved the "gumdrop pillows" you'll love these new poufs. Pattern includes 2 sizes tufted with covered buttons that can be filled in a number of ways for firm or softer feel! Visit amybutlerdesign.com to view these great poufs.
