Simple Pleasures - daisy floral fabrics by RJR

What a delight it was to open a plain, brown cardboard box today and find these treasures hiding inside! Brand new from RJR (designed by Debbie Beaves) they have what must surely be her favorite color (purple) but it's the sky blue in this collection that sets my heart leaping.

Aren't these fabrics just the very essence of summer?

I can see all sorts of quilts, curtains, and table linens that will make it seem like picnic time in your kitchen, no matter what time of the year the calendar says it is!

Simple Pleasures... a lovely group of fabrics, aptly named!

Mr. Fixit - perfect fabrics for your favorite handyman

Looking for some fabrics to suit the guys? Dan Morris has designed an absolutely perfect group called Mr. Fixit!

This group celebrates all those really useful and creative talents such as woodworking, carpentry, painting, landscape work and grounds maintenance, plus general construction, building, and home repair trades.

Dan's designs are always realistic, and RJR has done an excellent job of translating the artwork onto fabric. This collection includes a panel fabric, a border stripe, and lots of coordinates. This particular border stripe is special in that rather than having four stripes, all the same, repeating across the width of the fabric, this selection has four completely different stripes, each with different tools/trades on it. (Wish we had a bigger picture to share, but we don't yet!) Anyway, you could start with the panel and then use the stripe to make four different borders, which would be enough for even the largest of quilts!

This group won't be available until December, but we will be taking pre-orders on it. Here's a picture to give you an idea of what's included in the collection; we'll be adding the items to our website over the next week or two.
