New Fabric: November

 Hello again. Our family is back from a wonderful vacation. We had beautiful weather and a great time spent together. This week I thought I would share with you some of the new fabric collections that have arrived in the last little bit. 

We have a couple new fabric lines from Art Gallery in the shop. Katarina Rocella's a new collection "Twenty" is here. 

Bookish by Sharon Holland is in the shop as well. It is selling quick and I think it would be great for Journal Covers to make and give away as gifts to friends and family. 

Wild Forgotten by Bonnie Christine is new as well. I love the earthy colors in this collection, combined with the whimsical prints it is truly beautiful.

 Check out the Look Books for each collection for some inspiration on what you could make. Look Book Link

We have a couple new Moda Collections in the shop too. 

We have a new Collection from Kansas Troubles called Hope Blooms. We have the full collection and yardage available. I love that she included the purple in this collection, if you like it too you better shop soon, the purple prints always sell out first. 

Sherri and Chelsi's new line Sincerely Yours is also here. It is such a great collection of pinks and purples, perfect for girly girls or for you to get a head start on your Valentines Day projects. 

There is new Riley Blake Fabric in our shop too. 

Coffee Chalk is so fun! Carrie quilted up the large panel that is included in the collection. And the prints would be perfect for mug rugs or aprons to gift to friends this Holiday Season.

If you love low volume prints be sure to check out Hush Hush, I am sure you will be able to find a few pieces for your stash. 

And we have one new collection from Andover called Believe. This bright collection had great prints with Ice Cream, Unicorns and Rainbows! 

As always there is many more new collections to view in store and on our website. So be sure to stop in and see us or browse our site. 

Have a great week!

New Fabric: October

 Happy Monday. I hope you all had a good weekend, here in Coaldale the weather was beautiful and our family spent a lot of time outside. It was also the first year in quite a few that we did not have snow the first weekend of October, so that was a nice bonus. 

Today I have a few new fabric lines to share with you. 

We have the new Moda Lakeside Toweling in stock. If you click here you will find a good list of ideas on what to use it for and what to make. We did put a kit together called Sea Salt and it goes together super quickly. 

Hustle and Bustle by Basic Grey is a new Christmas Collection. Carrie made the quilt in the photo using one of the patterns from Sew A Jelly Roll Day called Step This Way, we are putting kits together for this and they should be available soon. 

Many of you have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Art Gallery Flannel, and it arrived just before Carrie's wedding. It is just as soft as I imagined it would be! It will be fantastic for quilts, backing, and even Pajama pants or pillow cases. 

Cozy Up by Corey Yoder is also available now. It is selling rather quickly so if it is on your must have list I suggest you act quickly. We made a couple kits up for this line, one is sold out already but we still have kits for Roadside Harvest and Scrappy Happy Village.

And for all the glampers we have a new collection instore for you too. It is called Joy in the Journey. 

This week Thursday-Saturday is our Fall Clearance Sale in our Classroom, pre-registration is recommended, but walk-in shopping is available as well. Priority will be given to those that have pre-registered for their time slot.

Next week Monday is Thanksgiving Day so the shop will be closed. Their will also be no blog that day, so if you are a little behind on your Bonnie and Camille Quilt Bee Blocks, you get an extra week to get caught up again. 

Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!

New Samples

 Happy Monday. I am back from our family camping trip. It was cold for most of the trip but it was great to spend a week with my husband, boys and extended family members. 

Today I want to share with you some of the new samples that we have hanging in the shop. Esther, Carrie and I have all finished up several projects in the last few weeks and there are several new quilts hanging on our walls which means there are also plenty of new kits available as well. Clicking on any of the photos will take you directly to the kit on our website. 

We have a few new Fig Tree samples in the shop. Esther stitched up this one using Catalina and the pattern Chintz. 

I made this quilt using Strawberries and Rhubarb and the pattern is called Sweet Pea by The Pattern Basket. 

Esther is working on a Pumpkin quilt using Pumpkins and Blossoms and I believe it just needs to be quilted and bound and than it will be in the shop as well. We do have kits available now for it. 

Esther just finished her Scrappy Happy Village Quilt using Cozy Up by Corey Yoder. The pattern is a free download from Moda Bakeshop. The yardage of Cozy Up is not available yet but we have Early Precuts of the collection and the pattern calls for a Layer Cake and some Solids. Kits are available and yardage should be shipping soon.  

Carrie finished up this fun Tumbler Quilt using Across the Universe. The quilt finishes at 66"x80" and is the perfect size for a little boy or girl that loves monsters and outer space. I have a 6 year old that just loves this fabric!

Flea Market Fresh is a fun line inspired by Flea Market finds. I put together this quilt which is a free pattern from Moda. It went together fairly quickly and I love how the side borders are different from the top and bottom, we always seem to do the borders all in the same print, but this is a great option too!

Carrie finished up her Ava Kate quilt and it is hanging in the shop too. There is one kit left for this quilt. I love how the mix of plus blocks and solid squares and how well they show off all the prints in this collection!

We also have two new and quick Summer Quilts in the shop. Esther made them both as beach blankets, one to use here in Alberta, and a second to take to Florida. 

They both go together really quick, one is a tumbler the other just 10" squares. 

Have you been getting any quilting in this summer?

New Fabric: August

 I hope everyone had a good weekend, Kayla and her family took off this week to go camping, and she left me here to do the blog this week. 

I just want to share with you some of the new collections that have come into the shop lately, there has been a few. 

I'm going to share my favorite new collection first. I'm pretty sure Esther, Kayla nd I all have a few projects planed out of this collection. Songbook by Fancy That Designs. I just love the classic hymns in this one. I plan to make a quilt for my fiance's grandma and also a few things for my new kitchen, like hot pads, a table runner, and valances. 

The Large Multi Panel

Small Multi Panel

Small Navy Panel. She also designed this one in the aqua

Another new fun line we got in is Magic of Serengeti by RJR Fabrics. 

This collection is so fun and wild when it is all put together, but the colors and prints are also accentuated when you break it down into the color groupings. Kayla plans to make a Tumbler quilt using all the prints and a couple solids. 

We have one more new collection from RJR, Pond Life. I just love the frogs in this line. Come into the store or check it out online to get a better look at all the prints and the colors.

The Christmas fabrics have started to trickle in, and it is always good to get a head start on those projects.  

First we have Starflower Christmas from Create Joy Project. I love this one because it is "Christmasy", but you can keep it out all winter, not just for the month of December. I know Esther has a table runner picked from this one. 

Next we have Christmas Morning from Lella Boutique. This collection is a very classy Christmas collection, having the reds and greens. I love the large panel that they have with this collection that looks to have a pieced border around it, but the blocks are actually just printed on the panel. This would make a super fast Christmas gift for a friend, the panel just needs to be quilted and bound. 

We also have a few more Christmas collections in early precuts. so keep checking that 'Early Release Precut' tab on the website.

We have precuts from Hustle and Bustle from Basic Grey and the yardage should be in the shop soon. 

And we also have early precuts from Home Sweet Holidays by Deb Strain. 

All these collections are so much more amazing in person, so be sure to stop in the store to check them out, or check our website to get a better look at all the individual lines. 

New Books

 Hello again. Today I want to share with you some of the newer books that have arrived in our shops recently. 

Sample Spree is a book by Susan Ache that has patterns for 100 different quilt blocks that each finish at 6". Also in the blocks are dozens of tips to help you get beautiful accurate blocks. There is currently a sew along happening with the book and you can find all the details here. The organizers are making a set of blocks each week in a different color way, making it a great quilt along to bust up that stash. 

On A Roll Again is from the Moda All Stars Collection and features 14 different patterns that all utilize Jelly Rolls. There are so many good patterns in this book that I am having a hard time trying to decide which one to make first. There is also a little fun fact section about each designer in the book as well. 

The final new book I want to share with you tonight is Top The Table. It too is a compilation from the Moda All Stars and has 17 different patterns to make table runners and wall hangings. There are several different fun techniques in this book. Each pattern designer also has a little interview published in the book about the tables in their own homes. 

In order for me to purchase a book it has to have 3 patterns inside that I really like and want to make. If it has 3 or more patterns I will definitely purchase it, as buying 3 separate patterns would be more expensive than a whole book full. All 3 of these books that I just shared meet the criteria for sure! 

We have all 3 books available in the shop, quantities are limited but we do have more on order. Clicking on the photo of the book will take you to it on our website, 

Have a great week. There will be no blog post on Monday as it is a Holiday.

New Fabric: July

 I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend! We spent the weekend hanging out with family and friends, swimming, boating, golfing and eating way too much food! 

I want to share some of the new collections that arrived in our shop over the past few weeks. 

The last few bolts of Flea Market Fresh by Cathe Holden For Moda have arrived. I love the purple in this cool vintage feeling collection!

Dance in Paris by Zen Chic is here as well. Carrie made this fun quilt from the book Stripology Mixology, it just takes a Jelly Roll plus some background Fabric. 

 

Boudoir by Basic Grey arrived at the end of May and has been selling really quickly! Carrie made a Moda Love Quilt with the collection and we love how it turned out. She used a Charm Pack to make it table topper size but it would be a great quilt made with the 10" squares as well. 

Powerplay from Benartex is a fantastic hockey themed line. I haven't shown this to my boys yet, or I am sure all four would be requesting a quilt from it. 

Adventure is Calling is new as well. This collection was designed by Dani Mogstad for Riley Blake and it has been really popular. This one comes with a navy panel and a green panel which makes for a quick project. We also put together some Baby Tumbler Quilt Kits together with this collection and they are available in the shop and on our website. 

We have a few new Art Gallery Lines as well. 

Sunburst is exactly how it sounds, a burst of summer and sunshine. Esther is working on a beach blanket with this one and we will have kits available soon. 

Boscage by Katarina Rocella is a great mix of prints and deep colors. 

And for all those that have been waiting we have finally received some new flannels. There are more than 40 new prints and colors to choose from. But shop quick because Flannel always seems to sell quickly. 

Have a wonderful week! Carrie will be here on Thursday to share the next block in her quilt along, and next Monday I will be going over the next set of blocks for The Bonnie and Camille Quilt Bee.
