Summer (and new fabric!) has Arrived

10 Jun

Despite today being a little less than summery outside today, we’ve received so! much! fabric! this week for all sorts of warm weather projects!

While we’re busy processing the 90 new bolts that arrived yesterday, we thought you’d like to see one of our new favourites, Spring Street.

Bicycles, bright colours and raindrops always remind us of Vancouver, and they couldn’t be better than this!

I’m loving the sweet raindrop print especially. Even on less than summery days, the raindrop makes for a darling graphic print.

 

Plus the collection includes a cheater print quilt panel. If you have never worked with one before they are a great help when you want to stitch up a quick project as a gift. Cheater prints are printed to look like a pieced quilt (hence the “cheater” part) and with a little bit of stitching, easily turn into a quilt. For this panel, it would also be nice to cut the blocks apart and make pillows out the different pieces.

 

We’ll be back on the blog soon to share images of other new arrivals including the amazing Helen Dardik’s Toomuchery, Farmyard from Moda and more!
