The "Camelot" collection by Jason Yenter. 2 gorgeous colorways-
Rich hues of rust, peach and red!
Delicious Blues and greens!
Jason has published a new book of patterns to go along with this line. The patterns are based on the Camelot Tales.
Beep Beep by Alexander Henry is a very substantial weight for quilting cotton. We are glad that this company has not sacrificed quality for price.
Moda's line, Robotics is too darn cute for words! I am working on a quilt using both of these boyish prints which I will reveal soon.
Little Girls will delight in Ballerina Fairies from Moda.
"Oh My" by Sanae from Moda is a home dec weight twill at a remarkable price. Love the chocolate and teal companion fabrics, so rich.

Have you seen these great woven fabric baskets? We have a way to make these in a snap. In stock is heavyweight nonwoven stabilizer strips, precut for use in this pattern by "Aunties Two". How cool is that?
Want to try the latest zipper craze? We have the patterns and the zipper accents to make pins, bracelets and necklaces. The patterns, "My Garden Zips" and "Zipper Jewels" are by Amy Barickman for Indygo Junction. The packages of zipper accent trims contains one yard each of five colors. Think of the possibilities to create and embellish!

Our new Improv Club Meeting on Friday was a blast. Our savvy sewers met every challenge with enthusiasm and confidence. Here are a few samples of their amazing work.
Their homework was to find a photo they liked and select colors from the picture to match fabric and create! Citrus Delight!
Veggies galore. Love this color scheme. Seems we have a food theme going here!
