Fall Fabrics from Quilting Treasures

I’m really enjoying all of the fall colored fabrics that are available right now!  I wanted to show you this line from Quilting treasures called Life’s A Hoot.

I’m considering sewing some new placemats for our Thanksgiving feast this year and I’m thinking that these fabrics will be perfect:

What would YOU do with Life’s A Hoot??  A table runner?  Fall-ish wall hanging?  A fall quilt for those chilly nights?

Shop Hop Time

Shop hop week is almost here!  Get ready - you're invited to our party!

High Street

As promised, I’m bringing you a closer look at High Street from Moda.  This line is full of lovely, saturated colors.  I think the greens and grays are my favorite!

The designer of High Street (Stephanie Carter) has a free project idea and tutorial using High Street.  These quick and easy key chains would make a nice little gift – or even stocking stuffer!   

New Quilt Kit

Remember this quilt?  We’ve made it available as a quilt kit! 

The kit includes the pattern and all of the fabric for the quilt top and binding.

The kit is $73.00 and is all tied up with a lovely bow – buy it for yourself or give as a gift! 

Cute Halloween Table Runner

Today I thought I would share with you this really cute Halloween table runner that we have on display this month!

The pattern is called “Ms. Bindweed’s Boots.”  The table runner’s finished size is 15.5” wide and fits a table up to 76” long with a 15” drop.  The adorable witch’s boots hang off of both ends of the table runner and the pattern gives you the chance to add a lot of charm with the details:

We have the patterns in stock as well as a great selection of Halloween fabrics to make it easy for your to create your own pair of “Ms. Bindweed’s Boots!”

Do you already have a Halloween table runner?  No problem!  There’s a Christmas version of the table runner pattern.  This one is called “Jingle Boots” and we have these in stock on the pattern wall.  So cute!

Thinking of Christmas

If you haven’t been in to the shop lately you may not be aware that right now we have a really nice variety of Christmas fabrics in stock.  And I know some of you hate to hear this, but it’s time to get started on your Christmas sewing!  

This fabric line is called “Lauren”

That deep red is just so lovely. 

Stop by soon and grab everything you’ll need for your Christmas projects!

New Fall Fabrics

Now that Fall is officially here, I’m starting to crave pumpkin everything!  Pumpkin candles, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie….

Our weather will be turning colder this week and it will start to feel like fall outside.  Inside, we have some great new fall flavored fabrics on the shelves. 

This is Fall Fun from  Wilmington Prints – check out those adorable owls.  I also love the two leaf prints on the left.  How ‘bout a new table topper for October? 

Surfin’ Time

Have a surfer dude at your house?  We have some great new surf & beach themed fabrics in stock.  These would be great for shirts, pajama pants, quilts, pillows…

I could totally see any of these being used in a surf themed teen bedroom!

This last one is my favorite and I’m loving this stack:

Triangles and More Triangles

If you’ve been in the shop in the past couple of weeks you have probably noticed one of our newest and most stunning display quilts:

Heather made this delightful quilt using fabrics from the Ashbury Heights line from Riley Blake.  To see more of the fabrics click here.

The rich colors are just so lovely. 

The quilt pattern Heather used is this one from Moda and we have them for sale in the shop.  It’s a great pattern and there’s no reason to be intimidated by the triangles. 

For the quilt back Heather chose a soft and cuddly purple minky for the backing – a popular choice for quilt backs this time of year.  Have you ever tried using minky on a quilt back?  I’ve done several now and they’ve quilted up beautifully with no puckers or other problems.  And my kids love them!  Try a minky backing for your next quilt!

Fall Shop Hop

Is everyone back into the swing of things with school yet?  Here at my house we’re trying to make the most of all of the fun fall activities while still leaving time for homework.  It’s a tough balance.  The good news is that with the fall weather and fall activities comes something else to look forward to!  It’s almost time for the next shop hop!  We’re busy getting ready and making preparations.  Mark it in your calendar now -



There will be a free 12” block and project patterns at every shop along with games, treats and prizes! We can’t wait!
