Fabric

We are always receiving new fabric. Our stock is growing and we get lots of compliments on our selection both from local quilters and visitors. We now have all our panels organized in one area. If there are co-coordinating fabrics we have displayed a sample with the panels. Some of the fabrics that have arrived since the last newsletter include the Canadian Cottage fabrics by Robyn Pandolph, Flutter Bright for Fabric Freedom, The Cat’s Meow from South Sea Imports, Illuminating Spring by Stephanie Marrott, and Cherry Blossom Lane from Blank Textiles, Red Hat fabric from Marcus Fabrics, plus much, much more. We’ve also been adding to our collection of Stonehenge fabrics and batiks.

Batting We have even more types of batting to choose from. 100% Rayon is our latest addition. We also have 100% cotton, bleached cotton, and many other combinations. We sell some batting by the metre and some of it is prepackaged in sizes from Crib to King. If you can’t find what you need let us know and we will try to get it for you.

Notions We have recently discovered the best scissors ever. Come in and try them. These KAI Professional scissors will cut through as many layers as you want and with no more effort than if you were cutting through a single thickness. You have to try them to believe it! The Cheryl Phillips Fiber Art tools and books have been very popular as have the X-Block tools and books. The patterns from Aunties Two (mostly made with covered clothesline) have been so popular that we sold out of the clothesline almost as soon as it arrived. We have more on order and it should be arriving soon.
