    Starry is here!

    The rerelease of Alexia Marcelle Abegg's Starry with new colours and a play with scale has been anxiously awaited by many. It got delayed in the US due to dock issues, but we were lucky to bypass that in Canada. 

    We have yardage and bundles of this pretty group.

    We have beautiful new 8 wale cord

    Wide wale cord is soft and lux and feels like velvet but isn't nearly as fussy. 

    Our cord is 98% cotton and 2% spandex, so it's comfortable and flattering. You'll see we have some pretty fantastic colours too. 

    What are you thinking of making?

    Feel like a sugar cone?

    Kim Kight's new collection, Sugar Cone, arrived today in the middle of wet snow and a dull grey sky. It felt like just the tonic we needed to boost our spirits and start thinking about fun sewing projects. 

    A sweet group if there ever was one (har har)

    Bonny by Denyse Schmidt has arrived.

    This pretty collection has lots of vintage charm, especially if you were around in the '70's (which a few of us were). The little flowers, sweet dots and pretty palette if going to spark all kinds of new mod sewing. 

    Note, the pink cheater print is almost gone but we're trying to source more and will add a pre-order listing as soon as we know it's coming.

  • Celestial is here from Lewis and Irene

    Celestial is here from Lewis and Irene

    This cosmic group called Celestial by Lewis and Irene, caught our attention because of the quality of the design and the subject matter. The night sky is an inspirational subject for many  designers, but this group was special. The stylized and whimsical take on stars, planets, moons and heavenly bodies is sweet and can be loved by all ages. 
    Also, the deep blue and soft cream make it a perfect group for an HST project. Contrast the light and dark prints into HSTs and make an "out of this world" quilt for someone special.
