In times of uncertainty it's natural to feel helpless, but our fellow sewers are uniquely poised to help. Join us in the #millionmaskchallenge and put your skills to work in the crisis that has engulfed the world over. As a community, we can aid the many selfless doctors, nurses, and other health care providers in their fight against Covid-19. We are donating fabric to Unshattered, a local non-profit organization that has mobilized their efforts from making bags to making masks for a local hospital here in New York. If you'd like to help, we've rounded up some mask tutorials below. If you haven't already found an outlet to donate to, we recommend contacting your local hospital for their needs, or follow Million Masks Challenge on Instagram as they post places accepting donations. Finally, our shop is still up and running since we are not open to the public and operate as a "warehouse/distribution and fulfillment" place of business, as well as a manufacturer. So for now it seems we are exempt from closing our doors. Our small staff is taking great care to adjust, working in shifts, practicing social distancing and following other guidelines in order to preserve our health and keep your fabric stash full and your hands busy. We hope our newsletter continues to be a bright spot in your day and a source for creative inspiration.

For new new Ganesha Gardens collection for Free Spirit, Dena Fishbein found inspiration "in the the elephant-headed Hindu God of new beginnings, along with the enchanting beauty of India, Thailand, Bali, and Nepal. Whimsical elephants, lotus-like flowers, and mandala inspired medallions come together in bold blue and bright pastel palettes. Hand painted ikat details and textured backgrounds round out the collection with richness and charm." We have yardage and Fat Quarter Bundles!
