New Fabric

We just received several new bolts of fabric for our novelty section.

Perfect for your landscape projects - Aurora Borealis and big, puffy clouds in a bright blue sky.

Images of BBQ grills, tents, campers, canoes, marshmallows, and more will have us all wishing that summer would arrive.

We often get requests for ladybug fabric. These whimsical ladybugs are as fun as can be.
