Cute new sample!



Vanessa just finished up this Alcohol Ink Glass Block project & we had to make a project sheet for it! I love how it turned out- and she made it using a combination of Etching Cream and Alcohol Ink. Very creative!

Download your copy of the project sheet here & find out how to make one for yourself.

New Fabrics





I know it's been a long time coming, but we finally have RED TRACTOR, better yet. International Harvester Fabric in in 45" wide cotton. I know all you fleece buffs are wondering when it's going to be your turn and my answer is...I don't know. I can only imagine that they will come out with a fleece with International Tractors sometime soon.

We now have High School Musical fleece and flannel in. It's very bright and should be a lot of fun to work up into a quilt or your favorite PJ's and Fleece blanket.

Thimbleberries Christmas Punch collection has just arrived as well. This is going to go fast. The pattern is really cute and you can't help but LOVE the fabrics.
