Sparkler Time!

It's that time again...our July pincushion is called Vintage Sparkler Posy Pot. Long name but definitely scored on the cute factor, don't you think? Start with a clay pot, add a little stitched pillow and a fabric 'sparkler posy' and you've got yourself a sweet little reminder of summer...or the summer we wish was on its way....  You could distress your pot and ticking pillow to add a bit more primitive flavor if that suits your style. We've got our kits all ready to go!


We've received some great new lines from Moda lately...including this bright group called Tradewinds from Lily Ashbury. Those colors are so radiant, and the fun, tropical-theme motifs would make an awesome tote or apron. The pictures don't do the intensity of the colors justice...you'll have to come in to see them yourself!


This is the latest group from Bonnie and Camille for Moda, called Vintage Modern...there are some FUN colors mixed in. Bright teal, red and pink and all the shades in between...and who doesn't love a good polka dot?? We have layer cakes and a fun layer-cake friendly pattern...time for a new cheerful project?


We recently received a few bolts of extra wide backings...a couple from French General and 3 Sisters, a mottled dark blue and some green leaves...perfect for a painless finish to a big quilt!

Happy Stitching!

  1. Really like that vintage modern grouping, cute pincushion including the very appropriate background fabric and new wide backings are always a good thing!
