It's back! Ivory Hydrangea and Raspberry Fabric by LakeHouse

We're so pleased that LakeHouse decided to reprint this lovely colorway of their perennial favorite floral fabric with hydrangeas and raspberries on it. With luscious shades of periwinkle blue, lavender, mauve, cranberry, plum, and purple, along with sage green leaves, you might as well call it irresistable to anyone who is fond of purple. The background is overlaid with pearlized scrollwork on an ivory background.

We didn't think that it would be here before January, so it's nice indeed that it arrived in time for you to sew Christmas gifts! Or add it to your stash now, to use after the holidays for spring decor.

As is the case with all LakeHouse fabrics, when a design sells out, you usually have to wait a long time for it to be reprinted. Don't let this one slip away!

Vintage Trailer Travel Fabric - retro by Michael Miller


For most of us it's not the season to think of camping ... unless you're one of the lucky folks who gets to winter someplace warm!
In that case, you may be thinking of outfitting your travel trailer for the season. We have four very fun retro fabrics that would make perfect curtains for your RV! Think fifties... think Airstream trailers... or just think about collecting some of these novelty fabrics to add to your stash.
There's the fabric pictured (Trailer Travel), plus a Trailer Stripe fabric, Vintage Trailers on an aqua background, and a fun companion fabric that's simply called Lawn Art. All are by Michael Miller fabrics so you know they're top quality.

Back to Nature - lovely leaf, pinecone, and berry fabrics


Have you seen the new "Back to Nature" group by Timeless Treasures? We think it's very timely (no pun intended) that this collection has come out in the fall, with its lovely leaves, berries, and pinecones. In shades of soft sage green, beige and brown, with little bits of burgundy and blue for accents, it works well for seasonal projects or as a companion for traditional country decor. We even had a customer show us her burgundy and green plaid wallpaper, and these fabrics were just perfect with it! And we're certain that you'll find many uses for this lovely fabric group too... whether it's a quilt or curtains or table linens that you have in mind. Go ahead, be creative!

Moda Marbles Jelly Rolls - in half portions


Something new... let us know what you think!

We're offering pre-cut 2.5" fabric strips of Moda Marbles, in specialized color groupings that we hope you will like! These are our own color combinations, so they're not something that you'll be able to get elsewhere. We've bundled them in groups of 20 strips, which is half the size of a traditional Moda "Jelly Roll", and also half the price. 'Cause sometimes you only want a half portion, just a little bit to play with or add to your stash.


This grouping is called "Autumn"... inspired by the hues found in fall leaves and the landscape this time of year.

Also new: we'll be carrying some of the pre-cut fabrics from Moda to fill out these collections: charm packs and jelly rolls.

So you have plenty of time to plan ahead!
