Spring flowers and lawns

Yep, that would be spring flowers on cotton lawn fabrics!  Perfect for stitching up a soft scarf or quilt project, summer blouse or a summer weight baby blanket - combine with a layer of flannel for a silky soft receiving blanket combination!

These Regent Street Lawns from Moda are the latest arrivals, and charms are in stock too!

Moda Lawns - charms too!
Remember this old favorite - a simple combination of lawn charm squares, some chambray crossweave for sashing and a border and a great little quilt!


We have a few other lawns from previous collections - brights and geometrics along with florals!  



Infinity scarf lawn and woven plaid

We used this simple tutorial from Purl Soho and combined a bold and soft woven plaid with a floral lawn for a fun spring time infinity scarf.  Below are a couple of other combinations that would brighten up your day!

It's easy to get out in the garden no matter what kind of weather with these cheerful florals ~ Happy Stitching!

MASK UPDATE:  As of today, April 2nd, the masks are being accepted and appreciated!  We have bundles of pipe cleaners AND now black 1/4 inch elastic that Valerie donated - available out front from 10-2 if you need some of these supplies!  Thank you sewists!!

What's new!

Of course - there's always new fabric...and occasionally we make progress on a few samples too...sometimes they have been on the cutting or sewing table for longer than others - if you know what I mean!


Here's a fun small throw size quilt in some contemporary batiks - we've got some kits made up or you can choose your own fabrics - it only takes 7!  This is one of the pattern cards from Villa Rosa "Smudge"....there's also another version of this quilt pattern - a smaller baby size quilt that would be great in some fun geometric prints for a new arrival!

We've also whipped up a spring scarf in floral lawn prints - this is a fun patchwork project using Judy Newman's "Sonia Scarf" pattern.  This fun cotton trim is included in our kits and we have a couple of color options too!  The kits are adequate for 2 scarves, so if you have deserving friend this might be just the spring wardrobe refresher you're looking for!   We had fun adding some extra embellishing stitches to this project too - a great excuse to play with fabric and thread!  We have also stocked Judy's "Dilly Bag" pattern - a fun bag to make and use all your favorite scraps and a chance for embellishing too!

Our shelves are stocked with a wide range of Grunge basics - we added some softer tones for spring and couldn't resist some bold additions as well.



Textures and neutrals are popular - and we're adding more toweling to our offerings along with these new Boro Foundation fabrics from Moda ...a great combination for mixing together with towelings and now we need to settle on which project for our next store sample from the new book by Janelle Kent of Pieces to Treasure.  We have enjoyed all of the individual patterns we've tried so far and have a few options on display in the shop.  These are great projects to make as gifts or treat yourself to something fun!
