We have been waiting so patiently for this fabric to arrive. Ta-da!! It's Rural Jardin by French General. Click on the link above to see all the prints in store.

French inspired, Liberty-esque, and a great price. Only $22 per metre!

I know you will love this range as much as I do...

There are 3 pretty toiles in the range: blue, red and ecru.


See you in the shop, where fabric fondling is allowed!! (of course you can pat your fabric after it comes in the mail... we post anywhere!!).

Flower Fairies fabric

I just love it when new fabrics arrive.

These are the focus prints from the newest Flower Fairy fabrics.

More fabrics are expected at any time now. When the suppliers have them in stock they will ship them to us straight away.

Let's hope we still have some of these prints left when the new ones come in!!

Meet Tugger

Four new kids' prints just came in... it's hard to make quilts for boys sometimes... these fabrics will make it so easy to sew for your little man. Quilts, art smocks, library bags, swimming bags, stretch them over canvas for the bedroom walls.... whatever you like!

Meet Tugger - the little car. This little plane fabric has a lot of movement in it.
The little red fire engine...

The yellow bulldozer...



Fat quarter packs containing all four fabrics are available.

French Braid quilt class

Well... we had a great time in class last Saturday... I was able to snap a few photos of French Braids with their sashings and borders before they were taken home.

I expect in only 2 hours of sewing at home the participants will have finished their quilts.

These were made from Jelly Rolls or Rainbow packs (these are packs of 2.5 inch strips) This one belongs to Rosemary.
Maree used the Astor Manor jelly roll (I think that was the last one in stock).

Rosie used a Pashmina Jelly Roll and matching border. We are out of the jelly roll, but we still have some of these fabrics on the bolt (designs inspired by old pashmina shawls).



Sue used this bright jelly roll. She is going to join squares from the layer cake for the outer border.



Dee chose this Christmas Rainbow pack - doesn't it look fantastic teemed with the Wintergraphix for borders and sashing?



Debbie used the pink Rainbow pack. I chose a print from the Holiday Heritage range for the sashing - it went perfectly with Debbie's border fabric.
Look out for this class again next term... I will schedule 2 new dates for full day classes on Saturday.
