New and Back in Stock at Hawthorne!

Hi Folks! At long last we have some news for you about our In House fabric options. Cotton Poplin is back in stock, and Quilting Cotton is arriving tomorrow, Wednesday (YAY!). Cotton Sateen will arrive this week as well. We have Interlock Knit but unfortunately Jersey Knit is out of stock, and will be for another 10-12 weeks. The silver lining is that we found a new supplier and it will have an even softer hand and drape; you're going to love love love it! We have also had to source a new supplier for our Rayon and you'll love that buttery soft hand as well. Canvas has been tricky and we may have to go forgo the linen component and just go with a 100% cotton option. In the meantime, our shelves are brimming with beautiful new fabric collections for you all! Prism from Giucy Giuce Sew the rainbow with Giucy Giuce and Andover fabrics!

Save a Bundle on Bundles!

Thank you for continuing to shop at Hawthorne, we truly appreciate the tremendous support we have received from you all. Unfortunately due to disruptions in our supply chain as a result of Covid-19, we are temporarily out of stock of our In House printed Poplin, Rayon, Canvas, and now Quilting Cotton (which are all milled in China). To be clear, this only affects fabrics that we print ourselves, right here in our shop. We are working very hard to acquire more fabric as we know many home sewers and also small business owners rely on our textiles. We are also extremely mindful of the fact that our independent artists rely on the commission that they make when supporters like yourself choose their designs. I do wish we had a domestic source but U.S. mills closed down decades ago, sadly. It looks like we will be out of stock for several weeks. We're so sorry for any inconvenience or hardship this may cause. The myriad effects of this pandemic are so far reaching. We will continue to make announcements in our newsletter, so we hope you'll continue to read along with us, and find creative inspiration in the fabric and patterns we will continue to receive from other suppliers. Upcoming collections have seen some slight delays but we have some new pre-cuts, and you can save a bundle on select bundles! Hindsight from Anna Maria Horner We got in some more Hindsight yardage but the big news is that we have pre-cuts a-plenty! Choose from Fat Quarters, 10" Squares, 5" Squares, and 2.5" Design rolls! See here for all our Fat Quarter Friendly Quilt Patterns, and our Design Roll Friendly Quilt Patterns! Bundles Now On Sale! Save a Bundle on Bundles! Enjoy these select bundles NOW ON SALE FOR 25% OFF Sewing Patterns Back in Stock!
