New fabric

We still have a few charm packs and jelly rolls left of the Gardenvale collection - these fabrics offer a wide range of color choices and prints so you can really mix and match.

We are busy keeping cool and getting ready for some fun classes and summer activities - hope you find some shade and a bit of time for some stitching!

Great New Fabrics!

We have some great new reds and blues if you're feeling patriotic with flag day tomorrow and 4th of July here in just a couple of weeks!  Summer is happening and that is a great time for hand stitching or for staying cool in the sewing room.  We've got a little bit of fun with a variety of new collections filling the shelves!

MORE? new fabric and quilts oh my...

It seems that the UPS delivery has Two Thimbles on some kind of automatic delivery system....who did this?!  We have sew much new fabric, and each delivery seems better than the last!  Got to find some time for sewing a few projects and quilts... 

More Hearty Good Wishes by Janet Clare for Moda

We have jelly rolls, and charms and mini-charms of this latest edition by Janet Clare - we still have a few fabrics left from the original Hearty Good Wishes collection and these are playing together perfectly.  Remember this great quilt that Shannon stitched up for us?  Well - it has recently found a new home via a fundraising for the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association.

The group below from Moda is quickly disappearing - the variety of colors and motifs in the prints is great, and we still have a few charm packs left for a full variety of the line.

Nomad by Urban Chiks for Moda

Our latest edition to the Modern Mini collection - is actually a large hexagon, these are some of the Marcia Derse fabrics which are fun to combine and mix and match.  The background we chose is a very light silver grey, gives it just enough color but not too much we thought.  These two pillows are 16 inches, a perfect update for spring decorating?!  The pattern is from Jaybird Quilts, called Candy Dish.  

This zig zag quilt is a fun variation from all the horizontal chevrons and zig zag patterns we've seen - it's called Zenith, and uses fabrics from Clothworks Beatrice collection.  

And then some odds and ends to fill in the 1800's color wall and some special border stripes for fussy cutting or using to make a bold statement in a strippy quilt or final border.

Dressing Gown by Judie Rothermel for Marcus

We have a couple of new books, Civil War Remembered is here and it has some great scrappy quilts that feature civil war prints so if you're not just sure what your next project needs to be, we can set you up!

The Palampore is here!!

Well the goods are pouring in, you can tell I had too much fun back in October at Quilt Market in Houston!  The very special Palampore panel has arrived, which coordinates with the Tree of Life fabric collection.  All are designed by Mary Koval for Windham fabrics.  The Palampore is quite large, and pretty unique.  We are working on plans for a quilt, but haven't got one whipped up just yet...The amazing toile print comes in red, blue and brown and is pretty spectacular along with the Palampore panel.  We have it posted on the website so you can take a look at it there, the colors are much better in person so stop by soon to see the one we have hanging up in the classroom.
