The word Playful at once describes both the collection, and the designer herself! Melody Miller's sophomore collection for Cotton + Steel is a nostalgic look back on "games to play on a rainy day." If you're a child of the 80's, you'll fondly remember indoor fun, playing with Backgammon Boards, Jacks, Viewfinders, and Word Search Puzzles.

From sunrise to twilight, this line offers a pretty good idea of what it's like to be out on a Mesa. I can just picture miss Alexia Abegg with sketchbook in hand and a lunch basket of tacos at her side, no doubt as jack rabbits scurry about while a lonely coyote howls. With her next line for Cotton + Steel, she's crafted a beautiful story set on a flat desert expanse.

Named for the traditional (and delicious!) Japanese rice cake, Rashida Coleman Hale's newest collection for Cotton + Steel celebrates Eastern culture and style. Mochi showcases a vibrant, jewel toned color palette tempered by Rashida's minimalist approach to design.

The scattered rice border prints are elegant yet fun, and certainly are one of the shining features of the collection. But we're also quite drawn to the Moon Bunnies. We had to wrestle the vague storybook tales from our brains, with a little help from Wikipedia we'll grant! The design is a beautiful homage to Asian folklore.

From the octopi, it looks like Sarah enjoyed a mystery meal or two! Becky, Meaghan, and I were so happy to catch up with Rashida, Alexia, and Sarah (modeling her octopi no less!)

Once again, we have Medium Weight Quilting Cotton Yardage, as well as the Canvas and Lawn companion designs! We also have Fat Quarter Bundles, Half Yard Bundles, and Full Yard Bundles if you'd like to scoop up the full line create your own story of the far east!

Fresh out of the oven, we've got a collection that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! We know that designer Kim Kight is quite the Homebody herself, so its no surprise that her new line celebrates the warmth and simple pleasures of being at home. Grab your favorite Apron Pattern and Take a bite out of Cookie Book!

Many of you have already heard the good news - Cotton + Steel has graced us with a Double Gauze Collection! Composed of 10 prints and 4 solids Bespoke certainly speaks to us here at Hawthorne Threads. Literally meaning "made to measure," Bespoke is perfect for tailored apparel. The dresses above are Vintage Vogue patterns 8728 and 2960, but you can achieve similar classic curves from any of the Colette Patterns as well! Their buttery soft hand and gorgeous drape also lend them to the most luxurious quilts you'll ever snuggle up to!

Use Flirt by Another Point of View to create a look that is at once modern and retro. With a nod to mid-century mod design, these small all-over patterns recall a time of fascination with the future - little doodles recall circuits or mod lampshades and circles look like the drink stains after a fun party! The unique colors of tangerine, chartreuse, orchid and stone are just as cool today as they were when Mad Men were king and poodle skirts were all the rage!

We have yardage and Fat Quarter Bundles, and don't miss the Free Quilt Project from Windham Fabrics!
