This month lots of new Hoffman mottled solids and Hoffman bali dots are arriving in the shop. Also on the way are new Island Batik bolts.
We finished the kit and quilt from this line. Blithe from Art Gallery is an art deco collection inspired by forestlands. Modern-styled motifs of deer, antlers, birds, flowers, and a forest mingle amongst icy grey, teal, and purple backgrounds. Great prints and colors for apparel or home decor.
New cuddle minkee is here. Modern arrows and cute animals. The animal print on a white background is even non-directional! These would make a cute baby quilt, let us help you!
Mentioned briefly in last newsletter, Hello World is now here. We have a few bolts from the line and fat quarter bundle of the entire line. It's super cute and would make a fantastic quilt for kids of all ages.
The line features one main print with coordinating fabrics featuring the same colors. All patterns, including the feature print, are made in three color ways. One color way of the collection is shown below.
Designed to be sold as mini-kits every month, we can also sell the full kit for many Block of the Months. Just ask.
