Fabulous Fabrics

Sorry for the delay in writing up on the blog, so many things to do and not enough time. I cannot believe April has been and gone. I will try to be better at writing up as things come in. At the beginning of May we had Rose City Quilters Tote & Gloat, a wonderful day meeting lots of people from the region and sharing their quilts at our large Show and Tell. Then on to guest speaker Dale Rollerson from Perth. A Kiwi who lives in Australia but regularly visits home, Dale shared her life story with us and shared several pieces of her works. Then on Sunday and Monday Dale taught 2 classes in Mixed Media. Everyone had fun and created lots of samples of her techniques. Thank you Dale. I do carry many of the media she was working with so call in and check it out.
Since then ....
Lots of fabulous new fabrics have arrived in recently. I will spread these over a couple of posts.

This is an unusual but gorgeous border print from Palazzo. NZ$28.40 per metre. I love it, modern and traditional at the same time.

These 4 fabrics are from a new range of Indigo Blues. All of them are reversible and offer a slightly different shading on the reverse. NZ$28.90pm. Japanese but not overly so, can be used with any fabrics.

Textura in the grey is an interesting fabric - offers lots of grey shading. NZ$24.90pm
Looks like something rolled paint over the fabric to create the pattern.

Wild Things has animal skin prints - Leopard at the top and Zebra below. NZ$20.50pm
Quite a few prints for the kids .....

Caterpillar Trucks are popular, this is a great border which can be used as a border or cut into blocks.
NZ$27.50pm

DC Comics - a collection of pictures allover this fabric from the comic range. Each picture could be cut out and sewn into a quilt or use them in borders or make something like a rubbish bin cover for the kids room, ideal. NZ$26.70pm

City Construction, a 60cm repeat of this fabric is NZ$17.10. Bright and cheerful, these squares can be used in rows, blocks or panels. Try cutting out one or a group of 4 and sashing it with bright prints. Ideal for children's quilts.

Monster Truck Madness, a great panel for a boy NZ$16 for a 60cm panel.
Use as a panel or cut them into individual blocks, sash them and make a larger size quilt.

Spiderman - 2 new fabrics now available in this range.NZ$27.50pm
And the last one for now is a gorgeous grow chart.

It has both inches and centimetres so caters for all countries, has gorgeous owls and bright colours. NZ$16.50 60cm panel

New Patchwork Fabrics in over Christmas/New Year

Opening the boxes of fabric that arrive in is like having Christmas prezzies regularly. It is always a surprise to see what is in them because generally we are ordering up to 3 months in advance, and you do tend to forget what you have ordered. Here are some of the fabulous fabrics we have had in over the last month.

These 2 fabrics are from the new Tim Holtz range NZ$27.90 per metre. Tim is more well known for his stamp and mixed media supplies but has now branched out into patchwork fabrics. I love these 2 for the design and the colour - that grey is very popular at present.

This range is from the Country Caboodle and is called In Cahoots. Deep rich golden colours with black set them off nicely. NZ$29.10 per metre

Landscape fabrics are always popular. I really love the stone work which could be used for walls, paths, buildings. The top 3 are NZ$27.90 per metre and the Sea fabric is NZ$26.50 per metre.
Then something for the men in your life -

BBQ items, ideal to make a variety of things, including aprons, BBQ mits, placemats etc NZ$25 per metre
And for the kids (including big kids)

Spiderman fabrics. Both of these are NZ$27.50 per metre.Cushions, quilts, backpacks, notebook covers etc etc, so much you can make using this fabric range.

I really love the fresh colours in this range by Pat Sloan - Bobbins and Bits. NZ$27.20 per metre
Team them with watermelon reds, golden yellow, orange and lime green - wow what a combination.
Let me know if I can help you with any of the above fabrics either by mail order or call in and see them in the studio.Your drive in will now be much smoother.
Happy New Year everyone
