South Sea Imports Fabrics on sale!

Beth - who knows all! - says that the "S" section of our store is rather crowded, and so we should run a sale on our fabrics from South Seas. Ok, Beth, we're doing it! All fabrics from South Seas, that arrived before May, are on sale for $6.50 / yard through July 14th. Panels are on sale, too. There are *lots* of fabrics included in this sale, including music, northwoods, animals, candy cane stripes, even jelly beans!

Did we mention horses, too? "Wild in Bloom" is a wonderful collection that includes many fabrics that are perfect for adding to your stash for landscape quilts.

Aaahh, summer! Days with plenty of sunlight left after work, and time to go to the beach! We're a short fifteen minute drive to the shores of Lake Erie, so we do indeed have a beach nearby.

Have you checked out our summery beach fabrics lately? We have "Life at the Beach" (pictured), plus lots of flip-flops, surfing themes, seashells, beach toys, plus sea, sky, and sand fabrics for doing landscape quilts.

Come on in, the water's fine!

Too Many Fabrics!

Ah, the marvelous month of May. That's when all the new seasonal fabrics start to arrive, and we start asking each other where we're going to put them!

So... we thought maybe if we ran a REALLY BIG sale it would help make some room. What to choose? Well, how about Moda?

Until the end of May, all in-stock Moda yardage will be on sale for $6.50 / yard. (Sorry, pre-cuts are not included). There is a LOT to choose from, so be sure to take a peek!

Sales rep came to call...

Yesterday one of our favorite sales rep came to call; Larry shows us lines from Timeless Treasures, Marcus, and Free Spirit.

What's new and exciting? We'll be glad to tell you the highlights!

Free Spirit has an Easter group, a graduation group (graduation caps, diplomas, balloons and confetti) in two colorways, plus some Chanukah fabrics. They also have a group called "Los Sanctos", with a Mexican feel, featuring saints and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Timeless Treasures will be coming out with a field hockey fabric, which is sure to be a hit with sports fans. They have a new designer, Jennifer Garant, who has a group called "Another Bad Hair Day". Lots of hair salon motifs. It's been a couple of years since we've had a group like this! Goods should be here in a couple of weeks. Jennifer also is working on a group featuring fat chefs. But that is so far in the future that there wasn't even any artwork to show us yet, for that line.

Sew for Spring, with "Cherish Nature" by Moda

Moda's new group, "Cherish Nature" has arrived... and it is every bit as lovely as we thought it would be. In colors of aqua, teal, soft green, cream and chocolate brown, the color palette is up-to-date as well. We think this will be a quick seller. In fact, Moda is already out of the panel. We have ten left, as of this writing.

Fixit by Avlyn - tool themed fabrics for the guys!

We knew that this was going to be a great collection... but until we opened the box today and saw it in person we didn't fully realize the appeal of this group! Not to mention the humor in the words on the panel fabric (pictured to the left):

Miters and routers and drivers and nailers,

Hammers and saws and drill presses with lasers,

Silver steel hardware like hinges and springs,

These are a few of my favorite things!

These are perfect for a man's quilt! Avlyn already has a second printing of Fixit in the works, so we're hoping this group will be around a while.

A pattern to go with this collection is also available.

Sneek Peek - Woodland Holiday Fabrics by Moda

If you like your Christmas fabrics traditional, then you'll love Moda's 2010 "Woodland Holiday" group. Featuring cardinals, pinecones, holly and mistletoe, in red, green, ivory, black ... and aqua!

This collection is available for pre-ordering; it's due to arrive in late May. We recommend that you do pre-order as this group is sure to go fast, once it arrives.
