Time for a Round up!

Round Up!  is a new Riley Blake fabric line:

Just for fun I pulled out a stack that I thought would be a cute quilt for your favorite cowgirl:

And here’s a free quilt pattern from Riley Blake for the Round Up line:

New fabrics!

We have two new fabric lines on the shelf – the first one is Little Black Dress 2 (Moda)

These are just such elegant fabrics! 

Here are some free patterns showing what others have done with this line (click photos to be taken to the tutorials!)

The next line is called Giraffe Crossing (Riley Blake) and is filled with fun, bright colors and whimsical giraffes.

The photo above is all of the cottons, and the photo below here is the flannels that we carry. 

Riley Blake has a free downloadable pattern that uses the Giraffe Crossing fabrics – isn’t this cute?

A quilt kit for the Utes

Our BYU quilt kits are quite popular and we’ve been getting requests for a Ute quilt kit as well – here you go!  I had fun gathering these fabrics up and even though I’m a BYU alum, I do love a great stack of red/black/white fabrics!

The kit includes the fabrics shown above, and makes a quilt that measures 55” x 64”.  Here’s the original quilt to show as an example:

The University of Utah quilt kit costs $58.00 and DOES come with an instruction sheet.  To order any kit either stop by the shop or call 801-225-3123

Ideas, Ideas, and more ideas!

Yesterday I showed you some of the new Valentine ideas that we have in the shop.  Today I thought I’d send even more ideas your way!  Do you follow The Fabric Mill on pinterest?  You should!  We have a valentines board filled with some great DIY projects and we have all of the supplies and fabric here in the shop for you.  Pillows, banners, valentine pockets, aprons, quilts….

Or how about whipping up a cute valentine pillow case to use this week?  We have these little kits at the the shop and they have everything you need, including instructions!

And we have a few quilt kits left -

Stop by today and grab everything you’ll need to get those Valentine projects finished up!

Things are always changing!

Well we all made it through January ok, didn’t we?  There were a few days of rough weather, but we're already in to February and it's rolling along quickly!  Don’t worry, there’s still time to get those projects done in time. 

Since I showed you the Valentine Display here and here we have added even more to the display.  Things are always changing around here at the Fabric Mill! 

First of all, this adorable burlap heart wreath is adding it’s charm.  I love seeing new uses for the printed burlap that we have in stock.  This would be a quick décor project!

We also added another sweet Valentines quilt to the hutch-

The quilt pattern calls for rows of raw edge appliqued circles, but the very talented Hailey swapped out one of the circles for a sweet red heart – very clever!

I love when unique details like this are added to quilts!

The pattern for the quilt comes from the Geared For Guys book by Emily Herrick which we keep in stock!

Another addition to the Valentines display is this Sweetheart Apron designed by our very own Carol Lawson

There are so many delightful red/pink/white fabrics in the shop right now!

Have a great Friday and we'll see you soon!

Oh Baby!

The Fabric Mill has this “Little Quilts 4 Little Kids” book in stock and over the past year or so we have made several of the patterns into display quilts.  Apparently this book is one of our staff’s favorites! 

This display quilt is the “Oh Baby” quilt pattern from the book.  It’s made using some of the prints from the “Lost and Found 2” line from Riley Blake. 

This line has some lovely blues, grays and yellows that blend so nicely together!

The line also has some really great reds and pinks – here are just a few (and I think I need a new skirt made from that bottom floral print!)

We have a quilt kit available for the Oh Baby quilt shown above.  The kit is $36 and makes a quilt that measures 49” x 53” – a nice snuggly size for a lap quilt or a toddler bed.

Sweet Talk

How about a bit more pink & red?  One of our newest lines is called Surrounded By Love (from Moda).  It’s full of gorgeous saturated pinks and reds along with a nice group of gray and white prints as well.  I’ve been itching to sew something up for Valentine’s Day using this line and I’m hoping to be able to get this quilt finished by February-

Isn’t this sweet?  The pattern for this quilt is called “Sweet Talk” which we carry in the shop.  The pattern will make two sizes of quilts – throw and twin and it’s made almost entirely of half square triangles so it sews up pretty quickly. 

How are YOUR Valentine projects coming along?

The Princess Purse pattern and kit

Are you in need of a new bag this winter?  I know I am!

The Princess Purse is a pattern from our very own Carol who writes patterns under the label “Bag Lady Creations.”  We have a display bag hanging in the shop so you can see the size, pocket placement and handle lengths to get a good feel of what your finished bag will look like.  I love that! 

This black and yellow version of the Princess Purse is sure to add brightness and cheer to those gray January days.  We have kits available, or you can buy just the pattern and put together your own fabrics.

The kit is $35.95 and includes the pattern so you can make a bag for yourself and another one for your mom or sister for Mother’s Day!

Table For Two quilt and kit

I gave you a peek of the new hutch display the other day, but here’s a better look at one of our new display quilts.  This quilt is made using the “Table for Two” fabric line from Moda.

The pattern is called Hip to Be Square and it’s found in the “Vintage Groove” book from Adornit.  It’s a great square-in-square pattern!

We have quilt kits available for this sweet quilt.  The kit is $59 and is available at The Fabric Mill or for ordering over the phone (801-225-3123).

Table For Two

Are you a fan of precuts?  They are so handy and really help to speed up the quilt making process.  We have many precuts available from dozens of lines of fabric, but this new batch of precuts is my current favorite:

I love that this is not an in-your-face kind of Valentine’s Day fabric and I’m so glad they added the black prints- it sure adds a depth to the line. 

What's your favorite pattern that uses precuts?
