New Fabric and samples

We needed something bright and fresh to contrast with these drizzly grey days, I think this quilt fits the bill!  The project is from a great fat quarter friendly pattern by Abbey Lane Quilts and we featured several of the prints from Lotta Jansdotter's "Lucky" line with Windham Fabrics.

As we retire the Christmas decor, we are moving things around and rearranging some of the wall displays.  More is on the way, and we hope you're ready for some spring sewing soon.  Here is a new grouping from Windham Fabrics, Drift Away.  We haven't had too many mermaids featured on fabric lately, and I think the seahorse is a first for us.

And a quick update, the Pies & Tarts quilt really is growing!  That's 8 x 10 blocks now in case you've been keeping track.  I know it's slow, but it is steadily getting bigger.  Not sure how much longer I'll be at this one, but maybe it is easier to keep going then tackle the next phase as I'm thinking it might need to be hand-quilted.  Hmmm.

Here is a sampling of some recent reproduction fabrics that we just added to the mix - these are from Barbara Brackman's latest line with Moda.  We didn't get too many and the colors in the photo are a bit off from the real thing - you'll have to check them out in person!

Happy Sewing!

Great New Fabrics!

We have some great new reds and blues if you're feeling patriotic with flag day tomorrow and 4th of July here in just a couple of weeks!  Summer is happening and that is a great time for hand stitching or for staying cool in the sewing room.  We've got a little bit of fun with a variety of new collections filling the shelves!

It doesn't get any better than a princess in pink with a unicorn to call her own...or so I've been told.
