Inner Garden BOM designed by Anna Maria Horner

We are almost ready to kick-off this vibrant 6 month project....can't wait to start something floral and bright - how about you?  We will be packaging kits next week so now is the time to let us know if you'd like to participate.  

This line of fabric was so gorgeous when it was displayed at Quilt Market last fall, I didn't hesitate to commit to this project, I hope it captures your interest too!  The fabric line, Sweet Dreams and pattern are both designed by Anna Maria Horner.  This project makes a great use of some of the bold large scale prints combining a few techniques and embellishments to add to the layering of patchwork, color and print!

Contact the shop or stop by soon if you're interested in joining this BOM - we have a limited number of spots available. 

Finished size about 78" x 90"

If you want to learn more about fabric history, join us for this unique opportunity to learn more! Betsy's wealth of knowledge relating to reproduction fabrics and antique quilts, delivered with a delicate southern accent is sure to take you on a journey into yesteryear that you won't soon forget. We'll spend the remainder of the day recreating one of the vintage doll quilts from Betsy's personal collection!

Reproduction Fabric latest and greatest

We continue to specialize in reproduction fabrics and have a pretty healthy collection of choices to help round out any stash.  And sometimes a more contemporary project can really benefit from something 'old' so maybe there is something to be learned from the old quilts that informs the new? 

Check out this bit of history - who knew the modern quilt movement wasn't the first to invent the no border quilt?!  http://www.quiltstudy.org/exhibitions/online_exhibitions/blockbyblock/intro.html

Some of our most recent favorites:

A great read and resource - check out this gorgeous book by Mary and Joe Koval, antique dealers and collectors of vintage quilts.   A book dedicated to their story and their love for quilts filled with photos and stories to spark your inspiration!

And if you're ready to skip the paper pattern tracing step - check out this panel by Laundry Basket Quilts.  Aptly named a Quilter's Canvas - it is a linen & cotton blend with the design outline printed on the fabric!  Boom - let the back-basting fabric selection frenzy begin!  We have the panel as shown as well as a coordinating vine.  A perfect 4 block quilt or center medallion and vine borders...a perfect beginning to create your own project. 

And this full collection designed by Michelle Yeo for Riley Blake Designs designs has just arrived!  Les Fleurs de Nantes, and yes...we're working on our french lessons while admiring these gorgeous colors and prints.  These prints will add some spark or might just be the focal piece you want for a spring project. 
 

Happy Stitching!
