With all of that bitter cold outside it's wonderful to have so many great new fabric collections to sew with indoors! We have a truly remarkable selection for you all today, and you don't even have to layer on the hats, boots, gloves and parkas to go shopping! Just Arrived in Our Shop! "In the great green room there was a telephone and a red balloon, and a picture of --the cow jumping over the moon." If you have children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, then you can likely recite those Goodnight Moon lines from memory. And those memories will of course make you over the moon for this new fabric collection from Cloud 9 Organics! After hundreds of readings aloud with my own two tots, the calming simplicity of this story remains a priceless bond between adult and child. For the perfect companions to "bedtimes everywhere", how about some slippers, a robe and a great playmat quilt! The wait is over, it's time go get Hapi! Amy Butler's magical new collection features Middle Eastern influences in design and color. The line comes in 24 quilting and fashion weight cottons, 6 buttery soft cotton voiles, and 5 linens, so you can bring a little happi-ness to your home and wardrobe in lots of exiting ways! I've already gushed about this new collection over on our blog, so head over there for an in depth look and more handmade inspiration! Our Becky was inspired to sew the Date Night Dress with some new Hapi Voile! Head over here for the pattern from April Rhodes! Becky also sewed up this simple area rug with some of our Herringbone Burlap with a bit of Hapi Linen for the trim - the mix of textures is just beautiful! European flavors abound in Joel Dewberry's newest collection for Free Spirit! With Botanique, transform your home or wardrobe into a botanical garden full of lush florals and fashion forward geometrics. Fans of Joel's eclectic modern style will adore this new line, composed of 24 prints in two charming beautifully composed color stories. Looking forward to seeing lots of spring apparel and welcoming decor with this line! With its sweet little roses, floral paisleys, and cherry blossoms rendered in gentle reds, powder blues, sweet pinks and spring greens, Tanya Whelan's new Rosey line evokes nostalgia and charm with plenty of vintage appeal. From kitschy curtains and quilts to nursery decor and baby items, anything this collection inspires will be coming up roses, as they say!
