The Hidden Universe by RJR On July 11, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope revealed the clearest image to date of the early universe, going back 13 billion years. The latest tranche included the "mountains" and "valleys" of a star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula, dubbed the "Cosmic Cliffs," 7,600 light years away. This landscape "speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region. Captured in infrared light, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth. Webb’s seemingly three-dimensional picture looks like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening. In reality, it is the edge of the giant, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, and the tallest “peaks” in this image are about 7 light-years high." From stellar quilts and inspired apparel, the possibilities with this collection of printed fabrics from RJR are as infinite as The Hidden Universe itself! Bat-Tastic by Wishwell Have a Halloween sewing fiesta with Bat-Tastic, new from Wishwell for Robert Kaufman.

Queen of We-en by J.Wecker Frisch Riley Blake Designs and Janet Wecker Frisch are pleased to reintroduce you to one of her best-selling designer fabric collections, Queen of We’en! "As the popularity of Janet’s previous Halloween collections grew in the marketplace, a close friend (dubbed) crowned her “Queen of We’en!” This funny pun between two creative friends became the inspiration for the original collection. The costumes were taken from 1909 fashion magazines and then digitally enhanced with Janet’s original and well-known artistry. Crowned heads were created in watercolor and paired with antique photos and ads for another creepy classic! The apothecary labels, palmistry art, solitaire, tattered damask, and ticking texture in a white, orange, gray, and black palette will inspire your frightfully delicious creations."

Thanks for Reading our Newsletter! Love this travel duffel bag over at Elm Creek Quilts! If you've got any weekender plans coming up this summer, why not travel in style! The Local Honey floral by Heather Bailey is pure fun! We have lots of new fabric collections that are sure to inspire some gorgeous summer sewing projects! Everglow by Tula Pink Everglow began as a collection of neutrals and evolved into a complete collection of radical colors designed to add depth to Tula Pink's world of fabrics. When Tula began designing this collection, she searched for something new to say about color that would still live within her world. However, the soft, earthy colors alone wouldn’t stand up to her standard colors, so she decided to pair them with the loudest color she could create on cloth – neons. Each neon is paired with a corresponding neutral in a light, medium and dark. Together with four large focal prints in two colors to tie them together, the result is eight mini color palette collections that merge to create an oasis of rainbow goodness in unexpected combinations. We have the full collection in quilting cotton, pre-cuts and thread kits! Kindred by Sharon Holland Say hello to Kismet’s sister collection- Kindred. Global, flirty and full of charm in rich shades of russet, berry, ecru and bold navy. Hand drawn florals and dashing geometrics give this collection its own eclectic and bohemian vibe.

Secret Forest by Dear Stella Wander through Secret Forest with Dear Stella, where a menagerie of magical creatures await! Soaring birds, night owls, bears, foxes, bunnies and even dragons and unicorns inhabit this wild and wondrous forest. This collection is a beautiful choice for boys and girls alike. Spooky Schoolhouse by Melissa Mortenson Drawing from her love of old movies, particularly Rear Window, Spooky Schoolhouse sets the stage for the newest collection from Melissa Mortenson! "I started sketching a big old NYC style building with lots of windows. I thought each of those windows could tell its own story. From there I imagined the building as a boarding school for Witches, right in the city! A place where they carry around spell books, attend potions class, and friendly ghosts are just a part of their normal school day!" We have Quilting Cotton yardage and Pre-cuts available, and the project panel will be available soon. New Giveaway!
