This pattern is called "Suburbs" from Cluck Cluck Sew and Alison R. Harris.

Most of the print fabrics are from Sue Spargo's latest line from Robert Kaufman, called "Folkloric". The background is white Kona.

Andrew's quilting is amazing...every house is different!

A full shot showing the sky in aqua Kona.

Judith finished her "Confetti" dots quilt. These dots are from "Dear Stella Fabrics". Jude stitched up a bunch of halfsquare triangles for this rainbow inspired design.

Love the backing fabric choice!

We still have snow around!

Gracie loves it and perfers the snow to her bed!

Another "Swirly Girl" Perfect Ten quilt using White Birch Cove fabric from Red Rooster.

This pattern suits itself to those large prints or panels.

Happy Birthday to us! If you would like to see what we looked like four years ago, you can click on "Archives" on the right sidebar and scroll down to my first entries in 2008 and 2009.

We have just received the whole line of "Comma" by Brigitte Heitland from Zen Chic for Moda.

And here are a few patterns we are carrying to show off this great line!

"It's A Plus" from Zen Chic

And...

"X and Plus" These are all punctuation prints in the trendy colorway, lime, citrus, gray, black and white. Love, love, love! I am thinking Tote Bags too!

Had to put a bunch of fabrics on sale ($8.50 per yard)to make room for the new. Some beautiful brights, come and see!
