Corduroy Carnival Bloom


Carnival Bloom has been a VERY popular print, so we're very happy to be able to offer it on 21 wale corduroy! I won't bore you with all the technical obstacles but most printers don't advise doing prints this detailed and on a dark ground on corduroy because they can't guarantee full color coverage because of the surface texture..... well......they did it!!!!

Christmas Fairies Tree Skirt

Photobucket
Who doesn't love Christmas projects?
and who doesn't find themselves around mid December wishing they had the time to make all the projects we have in our well intentioned heads and hearts?!

Joanna at Stardust Shoes has come up with a great idea: a 2009 Advent Calender Sew Along. I think it's such a great idea, I'm applying it to all things Christmas (I love wrapping presents, decorating, yadda, yadda, yadda).

Sooo, with that in mind I'm going to slip in this Christmas tree skirt pattern by Marinda Stewart made from our just released; Christmas Fairies.
and just for a goof it can always fill in for last minute party wear!

Michael Miller in Domino!

I love using fabric on walls, so of course I love this months' issue of Domino featuring our fabric for an ingenious small space storage solution. (great idea for a dorm room).

and while you're checking out magazines: There's a great article in Sew News featuring Paula Prass. Love that studio, see it here !

Cute Critters

These are from the category Cute Critters in the new release. Here's Birds of Norway. I love the way these Bohemian colors jump off the Jet Brown background. Will definitely be building on this color story in the next release.
Grass Menagerie

same print in Blue. I call this Restoration Hardware Baby Blue. We've got a ton of coordinates to go with it in the previously released Silhouette Kids Collection.
and then of course, equal time for the girls!
and if you need a plush baby blankie backing: check out the Big Harlequin made to match

Autumn Flower Fairies

Photobucket
Here's a few of the soon to be released Autumn Fairies. The panel above measures approx. 43" x 22" -24". I say approximately because the repeat measurements vary due to the finishing process after printing - there's usually some shrinkage.
Photobucket
we've done the layout below in all the Fairy groups. There's a total of 12 rectangles (2 rows of 6) and 36 small squares (2 rows of 18).
Photobucket
This opens up all kinds of possibilities! ( I can picture just framing and hanging)..... here's a couple ideas from the previous flower fairy groups on our free quilt pattern page.

and of course quilts........ below the Flower Fairy Quilt
