New FabricWe get in a shipment of batiks about every 6-8 weeks, and it's always fun to open the boxes. The time between ordering and receiving is often three months or more, so when batiks are delivered it's a bit like Christmas morning. Here's part of what came in last week. |
We also received this unique undersea collection last week. A bit of metallic makes it shimmer just enough. Fat quarter bundles are also available to go with this group. |
We're experimenting with some different types of fabric. These bolts of barkcloth arrived last week. It's 100% cotton and features a slightly nubby texture. Drapes beautifully. Great for garments, bags, and home decor. |
Sewing Day: 1600″ Jelly Roll Quilt

Add a border or two and it turns into a large throw or twin-sized quilt. An instructor will be available for the first part of the sewing day to get you started. Then just sew, and sew, and sew! |
