Brighter days!

Are you taking advantage of the added daylight?!  More importantly for us, the opportunity to dry out after some serious wind and rain this past week is making everything a bit lighter and brighter - kind of like this Kona Highlight - the 2016 color of the year.   You may just want to take a moment and check your stash, this color hasn't been seen before in too many fabrics!

We've got alot of spring florals collected at the front of the shop - a bit of a brighter feeling with some fresh window displays and our front area gussied up with a fabric chandelier we created with fused fabric....and a few gazillion circles!  Great for a fresh look and easy to do if you are planning a special event and need a splash of color.  

The work-in-progress has come back from a fabulous quilting finish by Nikki - we love to have quilts come back all fresh and gorgeous!  We still have a few customers working on this Block of the Month project - and we still have a couple of kits left if you have been on the fence about it.  Paper foundation piecing guarantees you'll get some perfect points on this New York Beauty variation from the pattern Almond Country by Sewn into the Fabric.  

This fun animal print coordinates with the "Super Panel" - it's a larger panel than you'll typically see and you can add a border or two and end up with a twin or toddler size bed quilt in no time. The panel measures 47 x 70, and Windham Fabrics has several free project patterns to work from for inspiration.

And we have more fun prints arriving almost daily it seems - this one features animals we don't see too often and would a great feature fabric or addition to an eye spy project.

And of course - some basics for the 1800's fabric collection.  We have several fabrics mixing into the shelves - but here are a few from the recent Sampler collection.
