Fun with the fabrics!

This past Tuesday and Wednesday we got to meet with two of our favorite sales reps - Sandy Kamins and Julie Manning. Their company, JM Fabric Sales represents very many of the fabric companies that we carry. They are fun girls and since they were both "buyers" in their former jobs, they know what it's like to be me when it's time to shop for fabrics.
So, we ordered new batiks, fun prints and a new block-of-the-month program to start in January 2012. We'll have a sample by fall and will take sign-ups then. In the meanwhile, we're receiving new fabrics almost daily and are workin hard to get ready for our Christmas in June event on June 25th. Hope to see you soon!

New fabrics, same cat!

Mirabelle seems to like these new fabrics! Sweet Sixteen is a beautiful combo group of cotton prints and batiks designed by Edyta Sitar for Moda. Ella is a gorgeous black country floral designed by Kathy Brown (she designed the "Take 5" pattern) for Red Rooster. Stop by soon to see these great fabrics!
