New Stuff:

New fabric keeps arriving. There are more new bolts than we can mention here so check the blog for news and updates.

Legacy batting by Pellon We are carrying a variety of Legacy batting on 8.23m bolts. You can save by taking the whole bolt at once! We are in the process of making test samples so you can get a feel for the weight, drape and needle quality of each style. Over the next months we will expand the types available.

You can always buy by the metre to suit the quilt you are making.

Stonehenge Wide Backs: Northcott is making 6 of the most popular Stonehenge colours in 108" wide backs. We have 2 on hand and more on backorder. You can check them all at www.northcott.net .

Also, we are building a selection of the Stonehenge patterns seen in magazines. Kits are available for ‘Moroccan Tile’ and ‘Water Wheel’. The ‘Gem 5 & 10' tool is available too. If you are looking for something in a different shape, this tool helps you make pentagons and decahedrons.

Wine Country: Use the panel to make bottle bags. I used the grape, corks, and leaf prints to make Brenda’s ‘Making Waves’ placemats. Use the border print to make a quick tablerunner. Anne made the bottle bags and used the labels from the panel to make her own placemat design. See the fabric at www.southseasimports.com and get a preview of the project sheets we carry.

Andover Fabrics: At QuiltMarket in May we picked up a CD with all the free project patterns for the spring 2010 collections. The ‘Very Series’ fabrics are on order and we will be making kits as soon as they arrive. Being a retired teacher-librarian makes me an Eric Carle fan so I can hardly wait!
