Our Friends

Welcome to Threadbear

I can so clearly remember when I thought that the year 2000 would never come. ? How can it already be 2010? And in the blink of an eye, a month of this bright new shiny year has already been spent. So here’s the lesson: Let’s spend our time wisely and surely that means sewing and keeping company with like-minded people. So call a friend and book into a class together. Come to Threadbear and enjoy a day of stitching in good company with great tutors. Look on our class page to see the details with colour photos of the quilts in our 1st Semester Class List.

Into the shop have come more beautiful fabrics: Civil War Tribute, Butter Churn & Cheddar, Pennock Album, Fairmount Park, The Folklore Collection, Aunt Grace Authentics, Tanyard Creek, Old Primrose Inn, Civil War Homefront, Amalie Collection, Wild Rose and more!! Most of these have been cut and packaged into Fat 1/8 packs, always a great way to sample an entire range.

We’ve also re-ordered some of our favourites from the past ranges of Antique 1800s Blends, Valley Forge & Peddlers Pack at reduced prices. We’ve some gorgeous checks and dots combined from various ranges and have made a Mini Checks pack of eleven 1/8s in dark, rich colours. The Spots & Dots pack has twelve 1/8s in very soft & pretty pastels.

My quilt from a few years back, A Tribute to Mrs. Williams has created renewed interest so we have cut a new Starter Pack for it and, of course, we continue to stock the starter packs for Ann’s Legacy, Phebe, Civil War Bride, Morrell, Mid-19th Century Star and more. Our aim has always been to give you as much variety as possible without needing to buy meterage. Also to that end, we still have our favourites - Fabric Muffins and Dear Jane packs with most fabrics pre-cut into 30cm pieces and many into Fat 1/8s.

With so many new fabrics on our shelves, we’ve had a bit of a clean out which always means that our SALE shelves are bulging again—be sure to check them out on your next visit.

Until next time . . .Corliss
