New Spring Fabrics


Easter is a few short weeks away (well, five and a half weeks away) so now is the time to start thinking about those Easter projects – skirts, girls’ dresses, table runners, aprons!

Printemps fabric

This new Moda line called Printemps is so very spring-flavored.

But if you are looking for something with a little more glitz and glam, check out the new sparkle fabrics from Riley Blake.

Pretty spring colors, with just enough sparkle!  My favorite are the damask prints!

These are just two of the new spring lines we have on the shelves.  I’ll have more sneak peeks of the other lines, but if you just can’t wait then stop by the shop and see them in person!

Minky & Cuddle fabrics

 As I promised yesterday, I’m back with a look at our new March display!

hutch display at The Fabric Mill

We’ve swapped out our hutch display this month for a trunk show of Cuddle fabrics.  Sure, it’s fun to see, but you really must come and feel it to appreciate it! 

This little guy is my favorite – he peeks out from around the right corner of the hutch.  And yes, that’s applique!

There are so many wonderful textures, patterns and colors!

And minky ruffles??  Yes!  The ruffle adds such a nice, finished touch to this baby blanket -

The main shelf of the hutch is FULL of patterns, idea sheets and pages with tips and tricks – all to help you find new, fun ways to use Minky & Cuddle fabrics in your sewing.

I have this pattern on my to-do list now.  Isn’t it sweet?

We also have precuts for the Little Black Dress 2 line.  I showed you some of the yardage from that line back in this post.  These prints are so elegant and gorgeous!

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-

valentine quilt - gray, red, pink and white

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!

quilt from Geared for Guys book

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
