Mostly French General

Some of our absolute favorite fabric designs come from French General... and you already know what else we love... fabric! So you know the only logical answer to where this is going is that we have a TON of French General fabric. And we can't stop using it! 

Take a look at some of the projects we've recently completed! We've got a fabulous table runner (appliqué on toweling fabric), a dynamic quilt, and a stitchery project that's a WIP on pre-stamped linen canvas. 

We've heard from a few customers as well that their collection of French General fabrics is a favorite to work with too - for all kinds of projects - and we consider it a great option for the holidays when you just need some red to add a bit of punch to your home decor.   If you've been adding to your collection or have a UFO that just needs a final touch - stop by and take a look at our latest additions from the Chafarcani fabric line. 

We also have precuts of French General fabric, including curated bundles, our latest project kits and brand new Chafarcani jelly rolls!

One new quilt with machine binding...the samples get done so much faster that way!  I think this will make a great picnic blanket don't you?

Happy stitching!

Red and Cream and quilted allover!

Have you seen the latest treats from French General?  We stitched up this wall hanging, just in time to solve the riddle...what's red and cream and quilted all over?!

Petite Prints

Petite Wovens

Petite Charmpacks and Mini Charms

Pixelated Heart

This simple heart is from a Pattern designed by Blue Elephant Stitches and uses charm squares.  For our version we opted to go with smaller squares - a perfect mix of red and chocolate?    

New fabric speaks for itself?

Too many choices, not enough time?  Something like that anyway....we have a new little doll quilt that features a few of the Old Sturbridge fabrics and a bit of wool - we'll show it off soon, or stop by and check it out!

Pincushion - Sewing Case and new projects

Time for a new pincushion! Well, not exactly a pin cushion, but something to coordinate with all those pin cushions you've collected?!  We went with some lovely French General fabrics to show off this hexagon sewing case from Fig Tree. It has just enough room for your stitching supplies...a little pair of scissors, a pack of needles and a spool of thread or two would tuck right in with some room to spare. There's a little pocket inside as well. We have some fat quarters ready to go, as well as the pattern and a bit of fusible fleece for sale if you don't have some in your stash.

Don't forget, the T-shirt class is coming up soon and we have lots of room left- you can find sample photos here!  We are just getting started with some fun fall projects...and finishing up some summer projects too....and we are working on some great new fall class ideas so keep an eye on our website for upcoming classes.  

Spooky fun fabrics!

Janey Jumper summer fun!

Just enough ruffles on this project?  This particular pattern features a few style variations and size ranges so you can use the pattern multiple times and create a new look each time!

Blueberry Skies Table Runner

This table runner starts with a square panel print - certainly a versatile method to create an easy block style quilt in a unique color palette.  We think a table runner like this and some blueberry muffins, or bottle of wine would make a great thank-you gift for someone special!


Happy Stitching!
