Floral States of America
by Andover Fabrics
| This is fun! Judy ordered the print listing each state and its corresponding flower (bottom in photo), and a bolt of Vermont's flower - the red clover (top in photo)! Make bags, napkins, placemats and runners using these - a unique way to show off our home state. | |

Ombre Fairy Dust and Ombre Confetti Metallic
from Vanessa Christenson for V and Co.
by Moda
Ombre fabrics are just so gorgeous - the flow from light to dark and back is amazing, no matter the color. This group has the addition of sparkle, making each of them even more yummy! Does anyone do anything with their ombre fabrics, or do we just collect them all, waiting for the perfect project? If you've found a good use for them, please let us know!

Century Solids
by Andover
Judy went a little crazy bumping up our solids inventory - look at all these great colors! If you're in need of classic solid fabrics, from muted to bright, stop in and see us - as you can see, we have plenty!

Ink
from Giucy Giuce
by Andover
And we go from traditional to contemporary - check out these black-and-white prints from one of our favorite designers! The shapes and movement of these are wonderful, and just a little bit different from what we normally see. Be daring and use that 'stripe' at the bottom of the photo - it's really great!

Musings
from Sevenberry
by Robert Kaufman
Cats and dinos aren't known for playing well together, but they're cooperating for this photo. Some little ones might enjoy the rougher, grumpier dinosaurs than we usually see (top in photo). The kitties are just happy to be here (bottom in photo). Both of these prints will work well as pillowcases, backpacks, and bags, in addition to the quilts you might be planning.

Energy Geos
from Lunn Studios for Artisan Batiks
by Robert Kaufman
Soothing ocean-colored batiks are always a customer favorite. These just arrived, and we know you'll want to add them to your stash. There's just something about that watery mix of blues, teals, and greens that calls us, again and again!

Fernshaw
from Max & Louise
by Andover
It takes a moment to realize that this group leans toward the Repro genre. The teal-y greens combined with gorgeous pinks and reds is a bit unusual. But we know our customers love the teal in any shade, so Judy's always on the lookout for it. Make a cheerful, colorful quilt using these as your starting point. The large florals (top and bottom in photo) are perfect as focus prints. All you need are a few more coordinates!

Flowerhouse: At the Cottage
from Debbie Beaves
by Robert Kaufman
Our 30s inventory needed some brightening, so Judy picked up almost the entire line of these pretty prints! We needed two photos to highlight them all. There are lots of little flowers here, in traditional 30s colors, along with some small classic motifs. Did you know this genre of fabric is also fabulous for baby quilts?

Lights Out
by Robert Kaufman
Since spring is just rolling in here in Vermont, we saved the Halloween prints for last. We love the cats, of course. And the pumpkin print (bottom in photo) glows in the dark! Perfect for pillowcases, wall hangings, and trick-or-treat bags. Make a new bag for your little one - they work up quickly!

News, Notions, and other Fun Stuff | |
Ooh, the colors! Traverse, from Tara Faughnan, is a row quilt for everyone! Refresh your knowledge or learn multiple techniques while creating each row. The pattern includes lots of illustrations to help you along, and when you're finished, you'll have this great throw for your home. At 72" x 85", it's big enough to be a comfy nap quilt, and will even fit on a twin bed. It's a fabulous stash buster! | |

While big blocks are pretty popular right now, there are plenty of quilters who like to work in smaller sizes. Small Block, Big Designs, from Annie Quilting, is for you. There are 11 different patterns, for baby and throw-sized quilts, all using 6-inch blocks. And if you happen to like the bigger blocks, there are cutting instructions to make six of these quilts using 12-inch blocks. | |
Lots of you have seen this quilt on our social media channels - we held a class for it just last month! Fandance, by Vermont quilter Sue Ashe, is a pattern we're currently carrying in the shop. It's an excellent stash buster, and depending on your fabric pull, your quilt will look completely different from everyone else's! Sue's instructions allow you to make this great quilt in two sizes - a 40" x 56" crib quilt or a 63" square throw. It's time to dig out your scraps! | |
