Dear STELLA! (Can't you hear me yell-a?)

Woo hoo! We are so excited because we got a big ol' box from Dear Stella! They have tons of new lines out for Spring and we couldn't get them all but we think we have a pretty nice variety here. There's something for everyone! 

First, for the kids, or the young-at-heart! Here are some selections from Play Date. 

Who doesn't love a monkey and an elephant?! These ones are so cute. I really love how they have a paper-collage look going on. It's a little hard to tell in these smaller pictures, but the prints have lines like pencil sketches and they look very cut out. Plus, they feature adorable animals! The elephants are pretty with their gray tonal/floral bodies and colorful accents on their toes, tusks and tails. And the bright orange and lime green really pop on the charcoal background. Both would be so cute for baby quilts or accessories. There's also this funky dotty stripe in lime, orange and hot pink - it looks awesome with the monkeys, or would just be great for your stash! Finally, in the lower right corner is Campgrounds, which is just rad. We really liked the graph paper grid in the background, and the fun sketchy designs in pastel colors are super cute. Why not make some curtains for your camper, or placemats for the picnic table? 

Next, Keep Calm and Carry On with Town & Country! 

I just love this collection; it reminds me of a fun family vacation to olde England a few years ago. We rode a double-decker bus around town and checked out the sites, so I especially love the red buses and navy landmarks! Both fabrics are on a soft creamy background and in the perfect English shades of red and navy. There's also this pretty, wintery tree fabric in black and gray with touches of red in the birds. The trees are arranged in a cool checkerboard pattern, giving it a graphic look. And how about these cute little houses? This fabric is jam-packed with tiny little abodes, just like an old street in London. 

Finally, an elegant and sophisticated collection - Marea! 

\

We just cannot get enough of this gorgeous feather print! The feathers are really huge, so it's certainly eye-catching. And the colors are fab - warm browns, rusty reds, soft blue and green - the feathers look like they're painted directly on the fabric! It's stunning. And the coordinates are equally great! Graphic black on cream in two awesome designs. The wavy lines almost look like wood grain from farther away, and the fish scale pattern is so chic. Any of these fabrics would make striking home decor items - how great will your couch look with some new pillows out of these? 

All of these wonderful Dear Stella fabrics can be found in our Designer Prints section. Check it out!

Fun fabrics for Spring!

Hi there! 

Hope you're having a apectacular May so far! Spring has definitely sprung here in Seattle - we've actually had some nice, sunny days by now and the cherry trees are stunning! We're not all about rain here. One nice thing about rain is that it does tend to keep you indoors which makes sewing easier. Quilt Sandwich just got some super-cute spring-ey fabrics in, and we think they're awesome enough to forget the sun and get sewing! 

First, this groovy collection from In The Beginning Fabrics: Better Gnomes & Gardens! Now seriously, who doesn't love gnomes?! No one I want to know. There's just something irresistible about those pointy red hats. Heather DuPont, of Home To Roost fame, has designed this absolutely adorable line of gnome and floral prints. 

This selection has a little bit of everything - flowers, stripes, dots (sort of) and a non-gnome print just in case you don't want the pointy red hats. The large floral print is really pretty, with it's big, bold sunflowers and garden-tending gnomes. We really love this simple stripe, with it's softer color scheme and clean lines. These big ol' circles are fun too, and there are mushrooms! Mushrooms and gnomes go hand-in-hand, right? Finally, here's a funky floral medallion, sans gnomes. One thing I love about this collection is the totally groovy color combo of avocado, orange, gold and brown. Our mom had tupperware in these colors so it's straight out of the 70's! Since the colors are relatively neutral, you could use Better Gnomes & Gardens for tons of projects - it's great for boys or girls, and kids and adults. I think it would be especially fun for kitchen accessories, like placemats or potholders. 

Next, we just got this Moda group in today and it's just gorgeous! This is Tradewinds, by Lily Ashbury, who also designed the colorful and chic Summer House. 

Ooh la la! This collection is an explosion of patterns and colors! You can't go wrong with lime, fuchsia, and pretty blues, and there's a great mix of flowers, fruit, ornate medallions and graphic patterns. The main print at the top has a striking exotic bird flitting among flowers and pears, in vivid colors. Next is a simpler print, with pretty white medallions on a Caribbean blue. I really love this bamboo lattice print in aqua and cream - very classic but fun at the same time. We both went pretty nutso over this amazing elephant medallion! It's so pretty, and the medallions are pretty big so it really makes a statement. These colorful medallions on lime are also pretty great. And finally, a fruit and floral design on a creamy white background. These chic prints would be great for home decor - how about a pretty throw for your couch, or a vibrant quilt in a guest room? 

We keep getting all kinds of fun fabrics in our shop, so check out our Etsy site!

Lizzy House is in the house! (the virtual house, that is)

Hey all! Here is something exciting for today's blog! We have an interview with LIZZY HOUSE! I'm sure you've all heard of Lizzy, but if not, here are a few little details: Lizzy is a designer for Andover fabrics, and she really has a unique flair for fabric design. I love her quirky style - she wears funky glasses and groovy clothes, and her fabric is awesome. She really has an eye for colors, and her designs combine stylized people and animals with coordinates that are simple but really cool, so they are perfect for modern, contemporary quilts and projects. If you've seen some of her earlier collections like Castle Peeps and 1001 Peeps, you know what I'm talking about! Quilt Sandwich just got a few of her newer fabrics in and we love them! (More on those in a bit.) But let's get going on the interview! 

I met Lizzy last March in a fabric design class at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, in lovely Portland, OR. Lizzy did a three-day class about fabric design that was fun and informative! We learned a few ways to do repeats, and then we worked on coming up with our own designs and learned some hands-on ways to actually print the designs on fabric! I really enjoyed meeting Lizzy; she is totally down to earth and funny, and really encouraging too! I believe that the PNCA did the class again this year and if you get a chance to take it, I highly recommend it! (The PNCA is pretty rad in general, since they have also had classes with Denyse Schmidt! They are really trying to promote fabric and quilting arts which is great.) 

So, after the class I told Lizzy I had a fabric store and asked if she might agree to an email interview. She answered these questions last spring after Quilt Market, but I'm just now putting them up because I wanted to do this at the same time that we had some of Lizzy's fabric available, and that's just finally happening now. So keep in mind, this is what Lizzy thought in June of 2011. 

Quilt Sandwich: Tell us a little about yourself. Have you always been interested in sewing and design? 

Lizzy House: My Mom, Cherri House, of Cherry House Quilts, has quilted and sewn my entire life. I think it's just a part of my DNA makeup.

QS: Please describe your design process:

LH: I start everything with drawings and lists. I travel a lot, and I like to keep sketch books going constantly so I am always absorbing new ideas, and then turning them around and into something. All of my fabric designs start as drawings and then they move to the computer. 

QS: What do you most like and dislike about the design process? 

LH: I like the discovery of new ideas... they seem to work like a chain reaction! The toughest, grossest, worst part about the process, is the cleaning and finishing to get things ready for press!  

QS: How did you get connected with Andover? 

LH: Being in the right place at the right time. You have to listen to that kind of stuff!

QS: What other kinds of creative things are you doing? 

LH: I am starting a publishing company, so I am swamped and ecstatic about that!  

QS: What advice would you give to aspiring fabric designers? 

LH: Keep at it, develop your own style, let your voice do the talking in your work, and let your unique point of view separate your work from what already exists!

Thanks, Lizzy! I really love her idea of bringing a sketchbook with you wherever you go. You never know when you'll be inspired. 

Now, here's what Quilt Sandwich has by Miss Lizzy. First, here's Hello Pilgrim!

Okay, can we talk about the colors?! Oh man, I LOVE them. The coral is super pretty, and you should see that bright blue! It's awesome. The green is pretty much perfect - you can use that print with EVERYTHING. And of course, the main floral print! The background is a dark chocolate brown, which is the perfect accent for these warm spring-ey colors. And the pattern is the cutest! The pretty flowers, butterflies, leaves - it's all good! I think these would make a lovely quilt, especially for a baby girl. It's sweet but not over-the-top pastel and cute, so a stylish mom would love it. Or just make a quilt for yourself! That's what I'm going to do. 

Next, we got this adorable little hedgehog, in these pretty, soft colors. 

CUTE! Who doesn't love woodland creatures? These hedgehogs are from Lizzy's Outfoxed collection from last fall, and since they're the only fabric we were able to get from that line, we're showing them with three prints from Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley collection. Turns out, the plum, orange and cream colors really coordinate nicely with the hedgehogs. 

So, head over to our Designer Prints section for Lizzy's house! And you can see that her website is on our favorites list over there, so check that out too!

An exciting quilt project! (AKA TOOT TOOT!)

Hi everyone, 

I recently did a quilting project that I'm super excited about, and I hope you'll agree! Have you heard of Dear Stella? They're a new-ish fabric company that's a division of Timeless Treasures, and their fabric is geared toward the more contemporary, fashion-forward quilter. (If you read my post about Fall Quilt Market 2011 you'll see a picture of their cool booth!) ANYWAY, earlier this year I heard from a friend of mine that they were looking for pattern testers. I didn't really know what that meant, but I knew I wanted to do it! So I contacted them and submitted some photos of my quilts. Apparently they liked what they saw, because they hired me to make a quilt for them! 

It was pretty cool to be involved with Dear Stella on this project. I was asked to recreate a quilt from a picture the Dear Stella team had found, so I didn't have an actual pattern to go from. Luckily, it was a fairly simple design, which was perfect for the gorgeous fabrics! Before the fabric was available, I got an email with a PDF of the line I would be using. It had not been released yet, since it's a new line, so I was asked not to share it! (Which I did not - I know what side my bread is buttered on.) It was hard though, it was such a pretty collection. Finally, Dear Stella got the fabric from the mill and sent it to me - what a great box to open! 

So, let's take a look! Here is the quilt I made for Dear Stella using their new collection Maasai Mara. 

Wowzers! (Does that sound like I'm tooting my own horn too much? Well, too bad - TOOT TOOT!) So, to give you some deets, each circle is 15" square. Each circle is made up of four quadrants, which is actually a Drunkard's Path block. I made the solid sections of the block a little bigger than necessary, then once each circle was sewn together, I trimmed them down to the right size. If I was going to do this again, I think I would leave more space between each circle, since there were a lot of seams coming together where the circles meet up - it was a little tricky to sew. 

Also - TOOT TOOT! Yep, I'm doing it again, but come on - look how good the corners of the gray and white solid sections match up! That is something I usually have a hard time with, but I really took my time on this to get it right. You can also see more of the quilting here - I decided to keep it super simple to really show off the fabrics. I just quilted half an inch on each side of the straight seams. 

This picture shows more of the beautiful fabrics - I already love blue and green anyway, and the ikat designs are so fresh and fun, I just couldn't stop looking at it! 

Here's a picture that shows more of the border and binding fabric. Again, I love these colors! The aqua border fabric was the prettiest shade of blue (it's the color of my bathroom!). And the royal blue binding was just the right choice to finish the quilt. You can also see a bit of the absolutely gorgeous backing fabric too! More on that in a bit. 

And here's the back! I adore this beautiful tile-like fabric, it just makes me want to go on a beach vacation! This quilt is a tropical paradise in fabric form. 

So, that's my big brush with a BIG CITY fabric design company! It was kind of hard for me to send the quilt back to Dear Stella, since I got pretty attached to it. If you're going to Spring Quilt Market in Kansas City, look for it! It should be on display with more no-doubt awesome projects made with their other fabric collections. (I've also seen a sneak peek of the other Spring Dear Stella lines and they're great! Quilt Sandwich has some on order, so not to worry - we'll let you know when it comes in!) 

Once more, with feeling: TOOT TOOT!

Lots of new colorful fabrics!

Hello! I hope you're all having a great spring! Seattle is FINALLY getting some nice weather, but March was not the best. However, Quilt Sandwich did get a ton of great fabric in March and we're finally getting around to blogging about it all. Also, I did a pretty cool quilt project that I'll share soon so stay tuned! 

Here are some fun, colorful fabrics perfect for spring and summer. First, let's look at these totally groovy fabrics by Jennifer Paganelli! Her newest line is called Crazy Love, and we do love it! 

Wowza! Those are bright! Trust me when I tell you they look amazing in person too. The colors are really stunning and the patterns - very cool! We have these six groovy prints and we can't pick a favorite! One thing I love about Jennifer's fabrics is that they always look really good together - even with the super bright colors, they just have an eclectic feel that makes them work with tons of things. You can put them with stripes and dots, or just other colorful prints for a pretty, bohemian patchwork quilt or fun accessories. This collection is really fun because the designs have an elegant victorian feel, but the bright colors make them more modern. 

We also got a huge ol' box from Michael Miller, and what's not to like about that? Here are some super cute fabrics perfect for your summer barbecues! 

I love these retro fabrics! Any one of them would make the cutest placemats, potholders, oven mitts, or aprons. Maybe a gift for dad for Father's Day? And this cool black and white stripe is a great coordinate for them. 

For the coffee lover, these two coffee-themed fabrics are just the thing! One has a really pretty color combo of charcoal gray, aqua, coral and yellow, so it's perfect for spring! There's also a great gray and white print with fun containers. Finally, we have a new color of Michael Miller's signature Ta Dot fabric in pretty aqua and gray. 

More dots! This is a really fun one with a great chocolate brown background covered by tons of colorful dots in teal, magenta, purple, lavender, aqua and more. And how cool is this alphabet fabric? As soon as I saw it I knew we had to get it. I used to be a graphic designer, so I'm a sucker for all things typographical!

Happy sewing and happy spring! See you soon.

All kinds of new stuff!

We have been getting lots of fun boxes over at Quilt Sandwich HQ lately! Yesterday was a doozy from Westminster, one of our favorite places to get boxes from! Let's see what was in them, shall we? 

First, we are really excited to get a few pieces from Curious Nature by Parson Gray. Parson Gray is the brainchild of David Butler, AKA Mr. Amy Butler! The Butlers just cannot be stopped. Curious Nature is a neat collection of patterns and colors inspired by nature. These muted, graphic prints are perfect for a modern quilt and great if you're looking for something masculine, or at least more gender-neutral. 

I really love this assortment we got! (We were sitting around our office today, congratulating ourselves on our excellent taste.) They all work well together, or you can just choose one or two for a contemporary look for your quilts, home decor or fashionable accessories. The Parson Gray booth at quilt market was full of interesting projects with these fabrics - big pillows for couches, messenger bags, scarves, what have you. The muted gray, steely blues, and black and cream are sophisticated and pretty, too. If you want to make a beautiful, modern quilt, we have some cream solid that would make a great accent, or to really jazz it up, try Kaffe Fassett's Shot Cotton in Clementine! 

Next, the designers over at Rowan have cooked up this beautiful, tropical line called Caiman and we have four groovy prints! These lush fabrics feature birds, flowers, leaves, and patterns with a cool, sketchy style. 

I like the unusual color scheme - the acidy green, aqua blue and rusty red are nicely accented with dark brown and crisp white. Congo, the main print (at the top), is REALLY large-scale! The big green oval is 18" tall! And the bird is 7" tall. So if you're going to use it in a project, make sure A) it's a big project and B) you order enough! Since the pattern is so large, it would be great for big throw pillows, or a large tote bag. In the middle is a cool coordinate called Jag - it's got irregular-shaped dots in a collage of colors. The pretty bird print, Okapi, is a good medium-scale print, and besides, who doesn't love birds? Finally, we have Banana Leaf, which is also a medium-scale pattern and has a cool oval design. 

We're also really excited about these new VELVETEENS! These are from Anna Maria Horner's Loulouthi collection, which she wisely created in a number of different fabric types. (We also have regular quilting cotton, voile, flannel AND extra-wide embroidery fabric! Sheesh!) These velveteen fabrics are absolutely gorgeous - I was for real hugging the bolt of Clippings today, because it is just so soft and plush!

First of all, how awesome are the colors?! The background is a really bright chartreuse, so it's not for the faint of heart! It's quite stunning! The flowers and butterflies are also bright and colorful. It's just super pretty! 

I also really love this funky chevron print called Zag Zig, in the Aztec colorway. Chevrons are always in good taste (hello, Missoni!) and this unusual color combo is really rockin'. The warm chocolate and orange are a nice contrast to the blues and then there's some pink, green and red too! It's a little kooky, but it works in the velveteen. 

We're selling the velveteen by the half yard (rather than by the yard) because it's a little bit spendier (and heavier) than our usual fabric, so if it's a bit out of your price range, you can still try a little piece! This fabric is also 54" wide, so a half-yard cut is still pretty wide. It would be enough to make a small pillow, or try it for a special clutch, a lovely jewelry roll, or a fab scarf. Or if you're really feeling adventurous, you could get a bit more and make an amazing skirt or jacket! 

Well, as always, thanks for checking us out! Head over to Quilt Sandwich on Etsy to see these and other fabrics!

New Michael Miller!

We got 3 HUGE boxes of Michael Miller fabric today and it was like we had hit the jackpot! Seriously, everything was amazing and we just had to keep congratulating ourselves on our amazing taste. We had a lot of shipments to get out, so we didn't get too many new things posted, but I did want to put up SOMETHING. So, without further ado, here are Wing Song and Backyard Baby! 

We LOVE these gorgeous, lush fabrics! As soon as I saw Wing Song, the main bird print, I KNEW we had to get it. I love birds, I love aqua blue and bright pink and I love the sketchy style of it. It's so pretty! Next up, this awesome free-form houndstooth print in aqua and orange. You just know that someone like Jonathan Adler would love this chic print. It has the classic houndstooth styling with a groovy color scheme. On the lower right is a print called Coral Bells, which is pretty striking too! The teal and chartreuse color combo and unusual pod-type flowers create a very funky fabric. Finally, here's a great tonal fabric in a lovely shade of aqua called Painter's Canvas. Great as an accent fabric for a wild print, or as a more-fun substitute for a solid fabric. 

Now, here's Backyard Baby! 

How cute are these bug-ey prints?! Designed by Patty Sloniger, who won a contest sponsored by Michael Miller and Spoonflower, this is just a fun baby collection. It's cute but not TOO cute, you know what I mean? Personally, I just can't go for those over-the-top sappy baby fabrics, so this is right on, in my opinion. (Of course, if you REALLY hate bugs or snakes, maybe not all of the fabrics are for you.) 

Anyway, there's Backyard Party, featuring a nice all-over collection of bugs in pretty greens and blues on white. And what's not to like about the Ant Maze? Pretty aqua (again!) with a cute white maze and little busy ants in gray and orange. I've already made my feelings on birds known, and needless to say, I love birch trees too, so the Birch Forest print was another must-have! I love these Bug Jars too, on their cool gray stone background. At the bottom left we have Samaras, which is what those little propellor-things are actually called. I love how Patty arranged them in this cute diamond-grid pattern, and all of the fun colors in it. Finally, the Painter's Canvas from above works just great in this collection! All of these prints would make the cutest baby quilt! 

So, stay tuned for more greatness from Michael Miller! We have some really fun barbecue-related fabrics (seriously, they're awesome!), a mod scooter print, some bright florals, and the CUTEST whale fabric! I LOVE the whales. 

Be back soon!

Dreamy baby quilt!

Hello! So I got some cute fabric for Christmas and I was super excited to start a project with it but then I said to myself - Becca, you need to finish some stuff up! So I went through my big rubbermaid containers of finished quilt tops and I found a few things that I really wanted to finish. Top of the list was this cute baby quilt I made based on a pattern in one of my favorite books and made with some of our cutest pastel fabric at Quilt Sandwich! 

One of my favorite quilt books from last year was The Practical Guide to Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman. If you're at all interested in modern quilting, you've probably seen it. It is fast becoming the go-to book for modern quilt patterns, excellent fabric choice ideas and clearly written instructions and quilting guidelines. There are tons of photos, each quilt pattern has a few color options shown, and Elizabeth makes her quilt backs as fun as the front.

ANYWAY, when I got it I was so excited to start sewing! In case you don't know, I also work at In The Beginning Fabrics in Seattle, and I was able to get some extra scraps from one of their collections called Dream A Little Dream With Me, designed by Keri Beyer. This is a sweet collection of pastel fabrics filled with adorable motifs. It seemed perfect with white solid and I knew it would make a lovely baby quilt.

This is the pattern called Fenced In, which is based on the traditional Rail Fence pattern. It's very easy and really fun to make! The book shows a larger quilt, so I just made it smaller and it went together pretty quickly. For the quilting I did free motion stippling, and let me just tell you - it takes a LONG time. (And that's on this little quilt!) It also uses a ton of thread, so be warned. I do like how it looks though.

It's a little difficult to see the quilting on this close-up, but check out the cute fabrics! I love how it has a bit of a Scandinavian feel, especially on the sunny yellow fabric. The pink floral is super cute too, and I love the pretty green print.

Quilt Sandwich has four of the Dream A Little Dream fabrics as well as the white solid, so I focused on those four prints but supplemented with some of the other pieces. You can easily create this look with just the four designs from Quilt Sandwich, or add a few pastel scraps from your own stash. 

Here's one more picture of the quilt on a chair. I also did the binding in the scraps, so it reflects the scrappiness of the quilt. 

You can learn more about Elizabeth Hartman's book at her blog, Oh Fransson! (The link is to the right in the Creative People We Like! list.) 

The Dream A Little Dream fabrics are located in our Plants Floral & Trees section. Check it out! 

We've got lots of great fabric on order, so stay tuned for more fun stuff!

We're having a big old sale!

Happy New Year! I hope the first ten days of 2012 have been treating you right. Do you have any sewing-related resolutions? One of mine is to GET CRAP DONE! I have decided that I have to finish a few projects before I start anything new (well, anything big. Small stuff is okay.) Another thing I'd like to do is choose a more difficult quilting or sewing technique and get better at it. (Note that I did not say "master" it. I know my limits for the year, people.) I've got some challenging patterns in mind that would be fun to try! So stay tuned for more of my sewing adventures this year. 

ANYWAY. Who doesn't love a deal, amiright? Especially this time of year! It's sale season and Quilt Sandwich is happy to oblige. Of course, we always have lots of awesome new fabric in our shop, but we also have a lot of great, high-quality fabric that's just a little bit older. And you know what? If you make something for a friend or loved one, they're not going to care how old it is! And our sale is a great way to stock up on fabric for your quilt backs - who wants to pay $9 or more a yard for a back?! That adds up! So, without further ado, here are just a few of the highlights of our sale section! 

This tranquil beauty is from the Dolce line by Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit. We have some lovely coordinates for this print too, all in this soothing gray, orange and pink color combo. 

For a more colorful floral print, how about this cute one from Phoebe? The whole collection, designed by Wendy Slotboom for In The Beginning, features these juicy bright colors in adorable floral and butterfly prints. 

We just love this fun little Woodland Medley print! The jaunty blue background is so cute and it's full of fun nature motifs. Also available on cream.

Speaking of nature motifs, here's a more classic version. This gorgeous large-scale leaf print (from Moda's Botany collection) is a modern take on tonal prints but also manages to be classic with it's chocolate brown and aqua color scheme. 

Remember Amy Butler's beautiful Midwest Modern collection? Here's an awesome large-ish floral print in icy blue and green. These groovy flowers are perfect for a pretty quilt or bag.

We've got a lot of Jay McCarroll on sale too! Lots of cute prints from his Garden Friends and Woodland Wonderland collections for Free Spirit. These sweet strawberries are adorable and full of fun fruit and bright pastels. 

Now for something completely different! This retro-inspired New York City print is really fun and in a cool color combo of steel blue and dark red. Maybe the man in your life needs his own placemat or boxer shorts?

We've also got six home dec fabrics by designers such as Denyse Schmidt, Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner and Vicki Payne. If you haven't sewn with home dec fabric yet, give it a try! It's slightly heavier weight makes it perfect for bags, pillows and more.

First, for a classic look, try this wonderful black and ivory chain print. If you're a fan of Jonathan Adler, you will love this! I think Adler would make giant pillow shams with this, but it would also make a very dashing jewelry roll. 

Next up, Stone Path, this groovy Amy Butler print from her Love collection! These colors are fab, and the print is really cool too. Again, pillows would be smashing, or how about a yoga mat bag? Amy's website has a free pattern for one and it's easy! 

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to our Sale section and start shopping! Regular cotton quilting fabric is all $7 a yard or less (many at $6 a yard!), and the home dec fabric ranges from $6 - $10 a yard. And since we love our customers, we're also offering AN EXTRA 15% OFF if you purchase 3-yard (or more) cuts! That means if you must purchase at least 3 continuous yards of a fabric to get the discount. There's no limit to the amount of fabric you can get this discount on, but each cut needs to be at least 3 yards, and the offer is good ONLY on fabric in the sale section. While supplies last!

Thanks! 

Becca

 

New year, new fabric!

Happy New Year! We have lots of great new fabrics in our shop right now and I think you'll love them. For today's preview, I will share a fun new line by Moda called Domestic Bliss. We have 6 bolts of these super-cute fabrics as well as a charm pack that is to die for! Really, it's adorable. Here are the fabrics we have: 

Aren't they great? We both love the color scheme - the turquoise, magenta, gold and pink is very groovy! It's a little bit 70's but not tacky. And the different designs are all interesting - cute flowers on a pin-dot background, a variety of medallions with cute flower details, and unique graphic prints like big rectangles or little crosses. This neat retro-inspired line would be perfect for a pretty throw or bed quilt, or try it for a table runner. 

You know what's perfect for making table runners? Charm packs! There are oodles of patterns out there for making table runners using charm squares, or if you don't want to use a pattern you can just sew the squares together and it will look great. (Or make up your own pattern!) 

Fun! Head on over to Quilt Sandwich Fabrics for these and other fine fabrics! We'll be back soon with our "Best of 2011" list so stay tuned!
