What's around the corner? Plus Open Hours

Open for drop-in shopping!
Thursday and Friday
1:00pm - 4:00pm

We are open by appointment Tuesday through Saturday for individual shopping (it's okay to bring a friend!) from 10:00am - 4:00pm (except as noted above Thursday/Friday).

Please use this link to reserve a time for individual in-store shopping that suits your schedule.  

As our local COVID numbers continue to limit our ability to move to the next phase of opening we will continue with this blend of available hours.  We are excited for re-opening but want to do so in a smart way and do our part to help mitigate the ongoing spread of COVID-19, we really want those schools re-open for business!  

We have implemented a few changes to our shop layout and business practices to help maintain social distancing, upgraded sanitizing efforts and require that all customers wear facial coverings for the duration of their visit.  We appreciate everyone doing their part to take care of our community.

With all the COVID shut-downs and changes to our daily routines, it's been hard to keep track of the calendar....but we're always in the mood for fall and halloween fabrics here!  

Crescent Tote with Glittery Canvas
A recent make - this bag was gifted to a 2020 college graduate - black canvas with gold metallic - perfect for fall!  The Crescent Tote pattern by Noodlehead is another great pattern and versatile in both style and size.  Not too bulky to stash at your feet with your projects for a car trip or staycation camping trip or beach day!

Spellcaster's Garden by Meg Hawkey 

Hocus Pocus by Echo Park for Riley Blake 

Northcott Wicked Fabrics
Here's a fun stitchery pattern - embellished with a bit of crayon for added color and impact...and a few seed beads for added sparkle!  We have the pattern and beads ready to go...there's time to get this stitched up for the season!

Plum Cute Designs "Eeek"
Happy Stitching!

More Lemonade?

Do you see lemons or lemonade?  That is where we're at these days as we wait patiently to hear about the fall plans for schools and encouraging news of some form or another about the world....meanwhile a bit of stitching, comet watching and lemonade making!  

We were scheduled to host Leah Zieber of Zieber Quilts this summer, for some viewing of antique quilts and textiles, history sharing and quilt-making.  With COVID restrictions - instead Leah sent us some door prizes and quilt patterns, and we made a small quilt!  We have quilt kits and patterns available, as well as the recent publication Treasure Hunt by Leah Zieber and Linda Collins.  Lots of eye candy and quilt inspiration to get you motivated.  





We are available Tuesday through Saturday from 10am - 4pm

We've got some new fabric additions from a variety of designers and we're getting ready to add some holiday fabrics (yep - that means Halloween AND Christmas) to the shelves...hard to think that fall is coming when we're having our first days of real summer weather this week!  
Heather Ross Anniversary Collection

Fine and Sunny by Jen Kingwell

New Lollies by Jen Kingwell

Sometimes it's easier to get inspired from a group of precuts - or they look great sitting on your fabric shelf until you find the perfect project!  We've combined a few fat quarters and half-yard cuts to give you a head start.  These bundles and coordinated yardage are now listed on our website.  These 2 groups of William Morris designs are easy to live with and work with many design styles - and of course, a mixture of red and blue is great all summer long not just in July!

Although it seems like the world has been on hold since mid-March, some of our customers are greeting new arrivals from afar during this crazy time.  Here are a few of our favorite options for small quilts!  The simple star below, starts with a charm pack and a free pattern from Moda Fabrics, we've got this combination in a soft peachy pink or blue in case you need to cover all the options!!

And for summer babies or hot climates - a simple whole cloth blanket of cotton lawn makes a super soft and comfortable wrap!  We've got some florals and a few geometrics in stock.  We've also combined flannel and lawn for a quick receiving blanket that gives you the perfect flexibility for our changeable summer weather.  

Cotton lawn prints


We've got some flannel combinations packaged and ready to go - you can add some soft mini pom-poms to the edge for a fun finish or decorative stitching and rounded corners!  Traditional binding from soft cotton lawn or a deep wrapped and mitered corner edge provides a special finish too.  Lots of options to personalize and make your project a special gift to make and receive.

It's berry season for sure here in Whatcom County, but on the eastside of the state, it's all about the cherries!  This table runner was requested for a new home and was a fun distraction from mask making!




These cheerful prints from the Cherry Lemonade collection make great kitchen accessories, and I've had a few customers choose the florals for face masks too....and then there is this fresh quilt kit all ready to go if you want a larger project!

Cherry Lemonade

We just received this indigo kantha cloth - pre-stitched layers for a great bag, pillow or summer jacket or infinity scarf perhaps?!

Indigo Kantha cloth by Windham

Treasure Hunt canvas weight
A few more additions to our Charley Harper collection of fabrics - these are poplin and the weave and density of these fabrics make them a really nice weight for summer loungewear, and pillowcases...you may see a few of these prints featured in masks around town too - a fun choice when you want to make a statement with our latest fashion accessory!

A recent group added to 1800's collection is the gorgeous floral grouping Wildflower Woods designed for the period c. 1870-85, by Evonne Cook for P&B Studios.  These designs were inspired by the works of Gene Stratton Porter, an environmentalist, author, naturalist and photographer ahead of her time.  You can read about Gene and the Indiana State Museum site named in her honor here:   https://www.indianamuseum.org/gsp
