New Fabrics Are Here!
Last week we went shopping and brought back lots of new fabrics! While most of these aren't new lines, their new to us and look absolutely fabulous on our newly rearranged shelving. Stop in to see them up close!
These two lines from Frond Design Studio are a vibrant addition to our shop. We've seen many quilts using these two panels and can't wait to see what designs our customers create with The Healing Tree and Tree of Life from Frond Design Studios.
At The Zoo from Henry Glass is a fun line of colorful prints and animals that will delight any child. A free project is also available on our website
And a whole new selection of flannels too! Flannel Essentials from Henry Glass has a soft folk-art theme with a luxurious feel. We even have a 108" wide-back flannel in a soft cream for backing your quilts.
There's much more, so be sure to stop by the shop soon and see what we've added!!
