Cabbages and Roses/New Designer for Moda Fabrics

I hope you will love the new fabrics Northcote Range designed by Christina Strutt for Moda. Her fabulously sucessful British company Cabbages and Roses designs clothing and bedding and fabrics. This bedroom pictured captures the feel of the fabrics she has designed with Moda for me. Here is a link to view more of their products. http://www.cabbagesandroses.com/

We have just received the bolts and we also have the precuts in stock.

The two small pictures at the top left are a little peak for you , so stop in soon to see the rest.

Resistance is futile.

Do they get any cuter than this? Suzy Ultman is the designer of this group Critter Community for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I know, I know, those owls just keep popping up and each one is cuter than the last. But Don't you love the hedgehogs and the lady bugs. I keep telling myself to stop buying them, but resistance is futile. Thanks for stopping by.

Great Baby Quilt Inspiration

Our customer Brenda saw our Max and Whiskers quilt we made using Moda fabrics and pattern (featured at the bottom here) and with the help of Patt planned her own version for her daughter. Just a few changes and another color palette and look how cute it is. I bet your new grand baby is thrilled and thanks Brenda for sharing your baby quilt. Hope it is stimulating your creative juices.

New Quilting Arts Magazine Arrives

The Stitch Intensive Issue of Quilting Arts Magazine arrived and has been waiting for me to sit down long enough to really read through it. I found the Part 5 article Stitch this :Free -Motion Quilting Motifs To Try very helpful. I can only improve my machine quilting skills and Heather Thomas's article will give you the confidence to give it a try. Stop by or let us know and we can save a copy for you.

Mice seen driving cars and foxes riding scooters

Do your children or grand children love Richard Scarry's Books? He published over 300 books and the Busy town series was his most famous. The fabrics pictured above arrived today and would be perfect for pillow cases and a little bedtime reading. If you want to reserve some yardage or have us make you some pillow case kits, just give us a call or e-mail me. I think these darling Busy town fabrics will sell out quickly. What is your favorite memory or character. I am loving the fox with the red beret riding the scooter, but it was hard to pick just one.

How to make your purses keep there shape

This product Soft and Stable was one of our great finds at quilt market this past spring. It was developed by Annie to use in place of batting and other stabilizers in purses, bags, totes and home dec items. It doesn't add any weight, but really helps purses to keep there shape. I used it in a Table runner, that I featured in one of my blog posts and can testify to how great it is. And one of the best benefits is how wonderful your quilting will stand out. We carry it in white and black and both ½ yard and 1 yard packages. Next time your in take a peek at it. The table runner is also at the store. I believe Annie also has a you tube video about using it in purses. Let us know if you give it a try and your thoughts.

Sneak peak of the new Bali Pops from Hoffman Fabrics

It won't be long now, so we thought we would give you a sneak peak of the 6 new bali pops from Hoffman fabrics that will be arriving shortly.

Starting on the top at the left is Blueberry, then cherry and my favorite watermelon at the bottom. On the right at the top is Key lime,then plum pudding and at the bottom coconut. Which reminded me a lot of the very popular cappuccino from the last batch. We have ordered quite a bit of the bolts from the bali pops , but they will not arrive at the same time. Give us a shout and we can reserve one or two for you. Watch here and on my face book and I will post the minute they arrive. Thanks for stopping by.

New Bunny Hill Precuts

We know you will love the new Puttin" on the Ritz precuts by Bunny HIll Designs for Moda. She has a cute cupcake pattern on her blog at http://bunnyhillblog.com/ featuring them you will find inspiring. As always the precuts precede the bolts by 30 days , but are often sold out by the time the bolts arrive. She had the most beautiful baby ensembles in her booth at quilt market this spring featuring this group of fabrics. So if you know you will be sewing some baby quilts soon , stop by and give these a peek. You won't be disappointed. The entire group is very soft pinks, blues, and grey. We noticed several expecting mothers have chosen grey for there nurseries lately.

In stock :Layer Cakes, Jelly rolls, and charm packs. Give us a buzz or an e-mail and we can save them for you.

We love it when a plan works

This wonderful fabric Pernilla's Journey by Tina Givens called Elephant Run has been in our design thoughts for a while. It would make wonderful valances and we wanted to do a row by row quilt, but we settled for designing this pillow which we could finish. You know some times you have big ideas, but we love how it turned out and we hope you do to. Don't you think the rick rack is cute? I bet we auditioned 20 fabrics for the edge until we all agreed this was perfect.

Thanks for stopping by.
