New Books
We have the best selection of Solids around! This is a terrific book from "Blue Underground" The quilts are easy and the results, dramatic!
"Simple Stitches" A perfect book for the new quilter, easy projects showcasing beautiful fabrics.
The cover says it all! Kim has done it again!
Sarah Fielke of "Material Obsession" fame , has combined a love for contemporary fabrics with traditional piecing techniques. Just adore all the projects in this book.
Those Swirly Girls have compiled a book of patterns that are stylish, quick and easy.
From Heather Peterson of Anka's Treasures, these quilts offer some interesting challenges for the modern quiltmaker. These projects are the perfect showcase for those large prints. The pattern "Spanish Tiles is included in this publication.
Just in is this pattern from "Sweet Jane's", Flowers in the Sunshine. This is fat quarter friendly and is the perfect way to showcase those bold , bright prints against white fabric.
New Fabric Arrivals
Essentials from "Free Spirit" bundles of brights or pastel tone on tone prints that read as solid.
Japanese prints from "Seven Islands Fabrics" Owls and dragonflies on a richly textured backround.
Coordinating solids (this photo does not do the colors justice!)
They are much richer in hue in person and have a wonderful heavy texture.
Dragonfly detail.
Amy Butler's "Lark"
Design Rolls too!
These strips would make a terrific "Mile a Minute" quilt. We are having a class on Friday, November 11th that shows you how to make a quick strip quilt using one jelly roll. The technique is so fast we call it a "Mile A Minute'' quilt. We also have Kaffe Classic Design rolls in several colorways available now.
A Lark Fabric detail.
