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.

And of course, we wouldn't just stop at a little bit of new fabric...we have lots of new collections including more australian prints to add to our initial shipment.

Now, all we need is a few more hours in the day for gardening AND sewing!

Banner Time!

There seems to be a banner theme going on in the store these days ... what a fun and easy way to brighten up a room!

The best part about this darling Halloween decoration pictured below - besides how cute it turned out - is the snap it is to make. We just fused coordinating prints onto the back of each little square, then pinked around the edges. The banner fabric is available by the row and comes in a variety of motifs- from a snazzy owl to a creepy witch. The fabulous grey and black trim that we used to hang the banner is available too. Perfect for a front window or doorway on Halloween? WE think so!!

This fun pennant is from Riley Blake Designs in conjunction with The Quilted Fish, and the fabric line is called Delighted!. We did a little topstitching around the edges to mix things up a little. We've got lots of coordinates; this line would be great for decorating a little girls' room (with a matching quilt to go along, perhaps?).

Happy Stitching!
