quilt by "Swirly Girls"

It's that time again, when we're all going a little crazy getting ready for Spring Quilt Market. A lot of exciting stuff to share with you!

For those of you going to market, make sure to come to our 2 School House sessions: the first one by Swirly Girls Design featuring our fabrics and the second one (immediately following the 1st, same room) where I'll give my trend & color report for the season along with preview trunk shows by Paula Prass, Patty Young, Laura Gunn and Pillow and Maxfield and of course Michael Miller!

When I return expect Lots of pictures!

Kitty Litter

For all you cat lovers out there, which by the way, have you ever noticed there's some kind of weird connection between quilters and cats? I mean since we started MMF it seems there's 2 print categories that quilters and fabric lovers can never get enough of: cat prints and boys' prints!

this leads me to our latest batch of vintage kitty prints- adorable if I do say so myself -

purrrrrrrfect!

Silhouette Kids Quilt

Is this the sweetest photo or what? It's in the Summer issue of Quilts and More. Quilt designed by Marinda Stewart. Prints from the Silhouette Kids Collection with cuddly soft backing of Cozy plush Big Harlequin

Earth Day Spa set

New Collection by Paula Prass

Pssssst! check out Paula Prass's new collection: Summer Soiree' on her blog! The first samples are starting to arrive- They're sooo fresh! I never grow tired of this exciting nerve wracking time right before a new release.

The whole group mixes and matches

New Release Preview 1

What a great way to kick-off our latest release! Patty Young's adorable Kyoko sewing pattern made up in the Happy Tones Collection

The whole Happy Tones group is made to mix and match - black grounds with Aqua, Coral, Citron and GRAY! I'm not saying Gray is the "new Black" BUT it sure updates a color story! (you don't normally think of Gray as a Happy color - but when it's next to these colors - it happens!)

You're all seeing this at the same time
That means both wholesale and retail consumers

If you're a wholesale customer of ours and you've placed an order; please feel free to leave your contact info in the comment section for anyone wishing to purchase.

Red, Coral and Aqua!
goes great with our Eiffel tower print and Paula Prass's Flights of Fancy-Summer color story

cooking with style

just spotted this in the archives of my favorite cooking blog (I don't know when this woman sleeps!) I was tickled to see her sporting an adorable Carnival Bloom apron.
