The delivery of new fabric has kept us busy organizing & moving bolts around. It also means we have moved some fabrics to the 40% Off section. Theses are some bolts that no longer have coordinates or have just been on the shelf a tad bit too long. These will make great backing or several would be wonderful in your next charity quilt. Do not wait on purchasing, these fabrics don't last long at this discounted price.
We also found several bolts that went into our end of bolt basket.
These are discounted by 20% and range in size from 1/4 yd to 1 3/4 yd.

All the Christmas fabrics have finally arrived in the shop. The staff is wondering what I was thinking! There are LOTS, from very traditional Christmas red & green, a soft pastel snowman & angel line, to the bright, fun, & whimsical collection I've featured in the next photo.

We have the cutest wall hanging kit made with Christmas Candy fabric line from Riley Blake designs. The sample quilt top is hanging in the shop; it is bright, fun, & totally whimsical. We have changed the outer border to a white background with cheerful wrapped Christmas presents. We have several kits available. We also have a sample of the Sassy Little Apron pattern made using the Candy on Red & polka dots on white.
There are lots of samples to give you ideas & inspiration. Come in & check them out.

Get started on your holiday projects while the selections are at the best!
