New Arrivals

We've decided to venture more into Triple-B fabrics . . . Big, Bright, Bold. Here's a new collection. Watch for more groups to arrive soon. Solids are also on the way. Modern and contemporary quilters: we're here for you! (Our traditional quilters need not worry. We're keeping that, too.)

Here's a cute bag - the Tuscany Tote - that Judy made from the new collection. We'll be teaching this as a beginning bag class in February.
