The Shop is currently  jam packed (quite literally) with new fabric.Not that we're complaining mind you because there are some gorgeous new ranges to choose from.  Just arrived yesterday is Indian Summer by Moda with the prettiest bird print we've had for ages and in four colorways.   The coordinating prints and colours are a mix of tone on tone and small prints in pinks, beige, light tan, and grey/blue.

Also from Moda is the latest from Howard Marcus, Collections for a Cause~Comfort.  The big border prints with a 10½ inch repeat are stunning in three colours.  This has been a popular range already and won't last long on our shelves.

This book will take your breath away as you leaf through the pages admiring the workmanship of the young girls who made these samplers 200 years ago.  Barb Adams and Alma Allen (Blackbird Designs) have collaborated with the Spencer Museum of Art to share with us the fine samplers in the Museum's collection.  The colour photographs are glorious.  The accompanying historical notes and anecdotes are delightful.  Plus you'll find eleven projects to stitch, all inspired by these stunning samplers.  Whether you are an embroiderer, or, like me, a quilter who just loves any antique textiles, you will find inspiration and nourishment for your soul in this beautiful book.  Click on this link to order your copy.

This gorgeous range arrived in the shop today and is already unpacked and on our shelves for you to drool over.  The large prints are big and the border prints are breathtaking.  Take a look here.
