1930's; Tone-on-Tones; new layer cakes; Mill Book Series 1892; Tri Recs Ruler; our new sign!

The big brown truck left several packages this week! Lots of yummy stuff was inside!  

We received five prints of "Spring Flowers" by Kaye England for Wilmington.  The dainty little flowers are so precious.  Perfect for the next 1930's project!  

We're expecting more of this collection next week! YIPPEE!! I can't wait!

The tone-on-tone section of the shop was beginng to look a little bare.  Thank goodness we received these ten bolts of ecru tone-to-tones by Quilting Treasures.  

My camera can't capture the prints very well so, I decided to take a group picture instead!

We sold out of several Bella Solids layer cakes during the shop hop but never fear! We now have 'white' and 'natural' layer cakes in stock!  

We also have the charm packs and jelly rolls of these colors in stock.

We've received more than 70 bolts of new fabric the past three weeks so, we've been re-arranging the shop to make room for everything!  

As a result, the Oliso and Steamfast irons are now together with some of the new pre-cuts we've received this month. 

If you can't find something the next time you're here, just ask.  We'll try to figure out where we put it!

Howard Marcus (Mark Dunn, owner of Moda Fabrics) has done it again.  His latest collection is called "Mill Book Series circa 1892". 

Each year he designs a fabric collection based on vintage fabrics and donates all the profits to charity.  

This collection is based on textile prints kept in sample books by different mills from the late 1800's. 

The profits from this collection will be donated to The Texas Quilt Museum.  I love it when a bajillonaire gives back in a big way.   

Thanks, Mark Dunn, I mean Howard Marcus, for paying it forward.  

Making tote bags have been very popular this season.  We have lots and lots of tote patterns but didn't have all the 'inards' for making the bags.  

That's no longer the situation!  We now have Fusible Fleece, Craft Fuse and Pellon single sided fusibles on stock.   

If you have one of the "Pink Sand Beach Designs" tote patterns, we now have everything you need to make it!

Vickie B. did a great job designing our Mystery Quilt. She dropped off the clues and a sample of the quilt yesterday.  I have to say, the quilt is stunning.  

The first clue for our Mystery Quilt will be available on Saturday, June 6th.  You'll receive one clue each month for six months.  Clues are $2 each but, if you purchase the fabric from our shop, the clue will be free. 

Vickie recommended using a "Tri Recs Ruler" for one of the clues so, we now have them in stock!  

Robin B. made this sign for the shop and presented it to me for my big 5-0 birthday.  Wow!  

Sweetness hung it up on the wall by the cash register in the shop.  

Thanks, Robin.  We love the sign and the special touch of having our names in the bottom right corner.  

Thanks, Robin for our new sign.
