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.

Major Buying Spree!


Oh, my! So much fun but really very tiring! Two days in a row, two sales reps came to call, LOTS of new lines to choose from!

Just some of the new fabrics that we have on order include "Children of the Sea 2", with more wonderful ocean creatures (sea turtles, dolphins, and seashells) featuring the art of Christian Riese Lassen. Also a new buffalo scenic print and an eagle pillow panel, all by Elizabeth's Studio.

New groups from Moda that we'll be carrying include: Love U (November arrival), Lamour (December), Spring Fever (January), Lakeside Resort and Make Life (February), Cherish Nature and Frolic (March).

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!

New Dogs from Makower UK - Woof!


Yes, "Woof" really is the name of the collection! Fun, bright colors, and a variety of different breeds makes this a light-hearted group that's perfect for any age. There are several general-purpose blenders included (Tivoli Scroll) that you're sure to find lots of uses for. Come and take a look!

The Cows are Coming (Back)!






Good news... the wonderful "crowded cows" fabric that Makower UK has made in the past is going to be reprinted! This time it's going to be part of a new group called "Buttercup Farm". In addition to the cows, there also will be sheep and pigs. I confess to being confused about the name of the group, though, because though it does contain a yellow floral fabric, the flowers are definitely not buttercups!

Upcoming Quilting Treasures Fabrics

There are several new groups by Quilting Treasures that sound very interesting! They will not be available until January 2010, so ... remember that patience is a virtue!

Gone with the Wind - this appears to be the first in a series, as it features Scarlett and Rhett but no other characters. There will be some "photo" prints, plus stripes, damasks, and magnolia florals.

Veggie Tales - you know these characters, need we say more?

There's No Place Like Home - the final Wizard of Oz group.

Mist Blue and Cloud Hydrangea and Raspberry Fabric






We have pictures of the lovely new blue hydrangea floral fabrics from LakeHouse. They're calling these colors "mist" and "cloud". The leaves are a khaki-beige (not green) so these fall in with today's blue-and-brown color scheme. For realists, they also have a beige all-over packed blossoms print which is the color that fresh hydrangeas will dry to.

LakeHouse typically doesn't print a lot of fabric at one time... and it so often happens that with their popular fabrics, we sell out and are stuck waiting (and waiting!) for them to reprint a design. So for that reason, we suggest that you pre-order these fabrics. That way you won't be disappointed! Visit our LakeHouse section to reserve a cut of these beauties!
