Thank you all for your patience and support as we navigate the kinks in our supply chain as a result of Covid-19. We're absolutely thrilled to let you know that our Cotton Poplin is back in stock for our in house print on demand collections, and it's even softer than before. And due to the fine thread size and higher thread count than standard quilting cotton, poplin is extremely versatile and an excellent choice for face masks, as well as quilting, lightweight home decor, apparel, and accessories. See here for further updates on our In House fabric options (hint...Jersey Knit is coming very soon!).

Families are like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one, a quote that binds this beautiful collection together. The muted color palette is a subtle combination of charcoal, cream, sage, and parchment, but the effect is profound. The florals, text, faux bois and map designs entice you to branch out and create an heirloom piece that will be cherished for generations to come." We think this collection is a particularly lovely choice for heirloom quilts.
