Fun Flowers I & III (shown above) arrived a while back in typical bright and charming style from Lakehouse Dry Goods. You'll find this lively collection at all our stores (except Outlet on 4th) and I found a cool quilt pattern for you, too - look below!

Just click here to download a PDF for this great Pinwheel Party Quilt from the Lakehouse Dry Goods web site. Finished size is about 56" x 64".

I love this collection! It's just bursting with joyous images of falling leaves, newly ripe grapes and wind tossed twigs - perfect for a bit of cozy Fall stitching. Martha Negley designed this artistic Autumn Medley collection for Westminster Fibers and you'll find it now at our Everett, Bellevue, Northgate and Bremerton stores.

Valori Wells grew up in Sisters, Oregon absorbing the magic of her family's quilt store and thinking about the beauty of fabric. Nest, her newest collection for Free Spirit Fabrics is an appealing mix of great coordinates, lovely large scale prints and a beautiful panel that could easily stand all on it's own. You'll find Nest at our Bellevue and Northgate stores only and it's well worth the trip. Just look at the quilt you can make below!

Whimsically wonderful Opal Owl from Free Spirit Fabrics is just pure fun! Ready to coordinate with oh-so-many of your favorite fabrics for quilting, home decor or dressing a sweet child! You'll find Opal Owl at our Bellevue and Northgate stores only.

Keep stitching!  ~ Annette

New & Fabulous Fabrics in Our Stores - NOW!

A VERY excited Anna-Beth called me from one of our stores yesterday. Before I could even answer, she was bubbling with enthusiasm about our gorgeous new fabric arrivals. So, I must tell you about them, show you pictures and not keep you too long . . because you're going to want to grab your coat and run right over to your nearest store. Have fun!

The Dolly Dresses II & III collections from Lakehouse Dry Goods have arrived at all our stores (except Bremerton & Outlet on 4th). Darling panels and great coordinates that will go with other collections, too. You'll want to stock up!

Marvelous Moda sent us Freebird and Martinique:

Freebird is flying off the shelves already (pun intended) and you'll love the fresh colors, cool prints and the fabulous round quilt you can make from the free pattern on Moda's web site. Don't miss the wonderful coated fabrics (jackets, totes, tablecloths) and the home decor weight twills in the collection, too! Available at all our stores (except Outlet on 4th) and arriving soon at Puyallup.

Martinique is a lovely, old world collection of stunningly beautiful prints, chenilles, coated fabrics, cottons and twills. You'll find charming florals (some with a upbeat modern look) and tonal coordinates in very pretty shades of beige, brown, green and red. To pull it all together, Moda created a terrific Patchwork coordinate, too. Available at all our stores (except Outlet on 4th).

Two remarkably different collections just arrived from Andover/Makower:

For the young ones, pick up some Jolly Jungle animals, leaf and skin prints in delighful perky colors. There's a great jungle friend panel and a crib size quilt panel (not shown) to go along with the fun coordinates. Available at all our stores (except Bremerton and Outlet on 4th).

Then wander over to Viviana and enjoy this warm collection of circles, dahlias, tiles, stripes and tonals in green, black and red. There's a yummy European feel to this collection and you'll enjoy the free pattern for the Tuscana Quilt that Andover has provided on their web site. Available at all our stores (except Bremerton and Outlet on 4th).

Okay, rev up your creative engines and head out the door to the store. There's some amazing shopping out there for you and I don't want you to miss out!
