New fabrics and bright modern solids!

We fell in love with the In the Beginning modern solids when they first appeared - they are more of a poplin weight, and are woven yarn dye, so soft and really amazing colors…so we planned to carry them all!  Who wants to choose, right?  And then, all of a sudden, they weren't going to reprint the fabric line and we were sad…so we cried and complained and that always works at home right?  Well…it worked!!!  They have decided to continue the line, and we are very pleased.  So here are the latest additions - Yummy colors!  


A few neutral modern solids are back in stock! Pop in to pick some up while they're still around!


And check this work of art out…A quick project Kelly whipped up and it really showcases a couple of her favorite colors along with some big stitch quilting!  Really think this turned out fab-u-lous!

Of course, a new toile is always good - and lavender?  We really don't have much in the shop in these shades so thought they would make a good addition to our stash.  These would stitch up nicely into a stack of sachets to have on hand for gift-giving….gotta get started right?!

We finally put some of our Downton Abbey fabrics into a project - as you know, they are a bit 'modern' for our reproduction fabrics, but we mixed and matched and created this quick throw quilt.  A nice prelude into fall don't you agree?  We used the versatile Villa Rosa Designs 'Intrigue' pattern.  It has become our 'go to' design for a an easy project and combines just the right amount of fabrics to give it a patchwork look without going scrappy.

Some new vibrant colors to mix and match with some solids perhaps?  The top bolt is a linen and cotton blend fabric, a bit heavier weight and it would be perfect for a back to school jumper for your favorite school girl.

  1. I love Kelly's quilt. Is it a Denyse Schmidt pattern?

  2. Actually, I just sort of winged it. I was inspired by a quilt in a modern quilt magazine a few months back, but I re-sized it based on the amount of fabric I had, and calculated how I would need to cut each strip to make each row 36". I have seen this design idea around, but I wanted my strips to be the same size instead of varied.
    Sized up I think it would make a good, quick baby blanket project!
