New Fabric & Timeless Treasures Sale!

My how quickly things change! Last night I put out a newsletter saying we were taking preorders on Amy Schimler's and Nancy Mims' new fabric, when today they arrived (or at least MOST of them did). So, forget about the preorders as most of it is in stock and ready to ship--woohoo!

This item still on preorder

We are also running a sale on all of our Timeless Treasures fabric. Right now save 15% off our entire stock! Lots of great novelties to choose from.

 

New Stuff

In today's post I wanted to highlight some of the new that has come in. You'll remember we just added Curby's Closet to our list of pattern designers, and they had a brand new pattern come out--Quilted Baby Oxfords! These are so adorable, and the pattern works for boys or girls. You can check it out here.

I'm also really excited about a new fabric collection that should be arriving in the next week or so. It's called Pick a Bunch by Nancy Mims of Mod Green Pod for Robert Kaufman. The collection is made of 100% organic cotton, so you can feel good using it, knowing you're making a difference with your sewing! We have it available for preorder here.

Totally Off Topic!

Yes, I am straying far, far away from fabric today, but sometimes you need to, right? Anyway, I just couldn't help myself. Yesterday while shopping at Costco, I came across Mystic Pizza in the frozen section. So? you may be asking yourself. Well, some of you may remember the movie with Julia Roberts back in the late 80's that made the restaurant immortal. Interesting movie, but that's not why I HAD to get a box. You see, I grew up about 20 minutes from Mystic in Connecticut, and since I've been living in California for 15 years, it's a BIG deal! lol  I think it was a bit of nostalgia that lead me to grab the box (plus it does look yummy!), but the funniest part is I've only eaten at Mystic Pizza once in my whole life, and I don't even remember if I liked it or not. But it will be fun to smell the pizza cooking and reminisce about the "olden days" when I used to enjoy visiting Mystic with all of it's charms. (I really hated the tourist traffic though! It could get almost as bad as going through New York City some days--well maybe not quite, but locals have very little tolerance for tourist traffic.) Come to think of it, I'll be visiting my family back there this summer--can't wait! Maybe I'll have to pop in to Mystic Pizza and try it again, and then I can be part of the tourist traffic. :-) 

How about you--have you ever bought anything because it brought back memories?

Gone to the (Quilt) Movies Lately?

I've just come across this new movie due to have it's premiere tomorrow, April 8th, and I want to see it! It's a story about three famous people who are friends and includes healthy doses of art, passion, and scandal. Sounds like a blockbuster, right? Well, hold on a minute--it's actually about quilters! The film is a documentary that follows Caryl Bryer Fallert, Hollis Chatelain, and Randall Cook as they create their pieces to enter them in the 2010 Houston quilt show competition. An intriguing part of the puzzle is that "quilting legend Caryl Bryer Fallert was the first to win a major prize for her quilt made with a sewing machine. She mentored Hollis Chatelain who caused a stir when she won an award for a painted quilt. And Hollis mentored Randall Cook who sparked controversy with his quilt of a male nude."*



Now, this won't hit all the movie theaters across the country, so thankfully you can order the DVD. Click here to go to the official website for the movie to get playing cities/times and for info on how you can get a copy of your own.
