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.

Girl Scout Fabrics

Robert Kaufman is coming out with a line of Girl Scout fabrics that should be available starting in October. Here is a sampling of the ones that we will be carrying:



View all six of the Girl Scouts fabrics that we will be carrying.

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!

Monopoly and Gone with the Wind

Just found out that Quilting Treasures will be coming out with two interesting new groups: Monopoly and Gone with the Wind. No pictures are available yet; I *hope* they will be posted by September.

Backyard Bandits - animal fabrics

I've heard it said that life imitates art... but life imitates fabric? That's what it felt like this week! Fabri-Quilt's new Backyard Bandits group just arrived... and it contains a rabbit fabric, an absolutely adorable raccoon fabric, and a skunk fabric.

And... last night I finally saw who it is that's digging little holes in my lawn. It's a skunk, looking for (and finding!) grubs. He was more white than black, with an absolute fountain of a tail. And he was quite a vigorous digger, not at all disturbed by three onlookers plus a cat!

Have you seen the new "Pink Ribbon" (breast cancer awareness) fabric collection by Marcus? It includes quite a few coordinates that are not "cause-related" and can be used in many ways... including the patchword-style block pictured here:



And here are some of the selections with the pink ribbon loops:





Did we mention there are butterfly prints in this group?

Just in time for last minute 4th of July projects!
