Fabric of the Week Blue Spruce - 20% off! The fabric of the week this week is the Blue Spruce Shades Pack and it's on sale for 20% off through Sunday! Blue Spruce is a beautiful blue that is perfect to represent a dark turquoise blue ocean. Fat Quarter packs are ready to ship, larger cuts will be custom dyed for you. New TapestriesThere are two types of fabrics in the Tapestries category. There are giant Crystal Mandalas that are at least 108" square and there are other large pieces that are ice dyed mottled fabrics that are perfect for quilt backs. I'm so happy to finally have the giant mandalas back in the shop again! These are so involved to make that I don't do them very often. But I have these 6 new ones for you this week. I generally use these for quilt backs but customers have used the for whole cloth quilts and duvet covers. Click on the image for more information on each piece. Here are 4 of the new quilt backs. These are also ice dyed but are placed under the folded mandalas to catch runoff dye. The texture that I get with these pieces is very bold. In my continuing quest to unpack all of my fabric from the AQS show, this week I had a major victory getting the Stash Packs added to the shop. To celebrate I'm putting ALL of the Stash Packs on sale this week! All 22 Stash packs are 20% off through Sunday! This includes the Color Wheel Stash Packs. These are usually 11% off but they are also 20% off this week. Time to stock up and maybe get some early holiday shopping for your quilty friends. Stash Packs make great gifts! Stash Packs are great for applique artists and art quilters. Need leaves? There are 3 green-themed packs to choose from! Earthworks and Cobblestones are great for tree bark, ground and roads and there are several blues for water and sky elements. Gradient NewsThe trees outside are finally starting to change color and that meant that it was the perfect time to restock my two favorite Autumn-inspired gradients.

You won't want to miss ready today's post with a great sale and new Shibori fabrics! Black Shades and Solid are the Fabrics of the Week!Before the AQS show I dyed a ton of Black Shades Packs and Yardage. The show wasn't as well attended as everyone expected so I brought home lots of extra inventory, including some of my popular blacks. Now you get the benefit! This week the Black Shades Packs and Yardage are 20% off! The Shades Packs come in Fat Quarters and Half Yards. These are great to have in your Stash and also make great gifts for your quilty friends. While you are stocking up on great deals on Black, don't forget that ALL of the Color Wheel fabrics are on sale every day! That includes the dark, medium and light Stash Packs shown here and the Shades Packs in all 10 colors! Check them out in the shop. New Shibori!The past 2 weeks I've been really busy restocking my Shibori fabrics and, hopefully I've responded to one of your requests to be able to get more variety in smaller cuts.  New Shibori Stash Pack! I've been asked many times to sell Shibori in smaller pieces. Some people just want more variety and many people want to make something like my Loony Moony project. So people seem to want something between charm packs and fat quarters. How about a happy medium of fat eighths? I created this set of 8 fat eighths of a variety of shibori colors. The colors do transition across each piece from very dark to light so, if you are making moons, you will get a variety across one piece to give you 3 6" moons. If you like these Stash Packs I'll make more in the future. But, don't worry, I have LOTS of new half yard Shibori pieces for you too! Check them all out in the shop.  New Shibori Half Yards!

Mom, Anne and I are in Virginia Beach and ready for the quilt show to open tomorrow. We got here about 11:00 yesterday morning and had the booth set up by 3:00. I was really pleased with how quickly it all came together. I am also grateful for their help. I can't imagine doing a show like this along although I did see several people setting up booths by themselves. Here are the photos you have been waiting for!  I'm very lucky with my booth location. It's very close to the AQS book sales booth and one row off the main row.  Mom set up all of the Crystal fabrics and I think the wall looks great!  This is the gradient wall. The shelves contain Shades Packs, Stash packs, Gradients and yards. It's so colorful!  We are thrilled with the flower wall! It came out exactly as I wanted. These shelves have the Color Wheel and Black fabrics along with some ice dyed quilt back.
We are looking forward to the first day! Shipping Schedule AnnouncementIn case you haven't heard I'm going to be vending at the AQS Virginia Beach show next week!

 Vintage Rose - 30% off! Sometimes I make mistakes. OK, I actually make mistakes pretty often but usually I can hide them. Not this time. I made this one on a larger scale and you get to benefit from it! I was dyeing fabric for the AQS Show last week and did some bad math mixing my dyes. Instead of a deep ruby red I got this beautiful deep rose red. I love it but it's too close to my Cranberry Red so I'm not going to carry it in the shop as a new color. Instead, you get the opportunity to get this Vintage Rose at 30% off. Vintage Rose is on sale 30% off through Sunday! That's $15.75 for a yard and a quarter of fabric. This is a one-time offer and it comes only as sets of fat quarters. Get yours while supplies last. Gradients Back In StockAs you will see, last week's dyeing had a theme of reds and oranges with these 2 restocked gradients.  Solar Eclipse Gradient  Imperial Dragon Gradient There's also a new Stars (one yard cut) fabric also in the same theme.  Enif - One Yard |
