What is coming soon?

Well, I must say I had a fabulous time at the NW Fabric and Notions Show this past weekend. It was great to meet so many great people in the industry - some from as far as New York! It is fantastic that they make the effort to come to Seattle in February so that we can stock up before Quilt Market in May (in Portland this year). Now, let's get down to brass tacks...what did I love?

Well, my favorite designer, Anna Maria Horner, is coming out with her first new line of Home Decor fabrics in April, Drawing Room. Ahhhhhhh. This is the woman who brought us the yummy Chocolate Lollipop line and now we get to enjoy some fabulous new colors and patterns in a heavier weight fabric, that is 54" wide (not 44"). So what did I order? Fabulous patterns in red, pink, ivory, yellow and black. These fabrics all have very large patterns of flowers and vines that would look fantastic on your chair and ottoman or as a handbag or little girl's dresses! The possibilities are endless!

What else do I love? Amy Butler's new apparel and quilters weight fabric, Midwest Modern. Perhaps based on her fabulous Nigella Home Decor weight fabrics - these Midwest Modern fabrics come in slightly smaller patterns, in different color combinations, in lighter weight finishes! Love it! I was drawn to the "Ohio Sky" line of cheerful yellow and greens. Green. So Spring. She is a wonder! Everyone says her booth at quilt market is quite fabulous. I can't wait to see it in May! But her Midwest Modern fabrics should arrive before that - perhaps in early April. We'll have to wait and see. In addition to these new lines I also purchased a great combination of turquoise and tan stripes, dots, and floral from Marcus Brothers. It is from their Surf and Sand collection and it should be arriving shortly! I can't wait to share it with you. Also arriving shortly is the delectable "City Girl" set of 6 from the talented designer, Kitty Yoshida for Benartex. She is quite talented, hitting the mark by combining geometrics, stripes, vines, and flowers in amazing color combinations! My favorite is the pink, brown and green colorway. Simply jaw-dropping!

So keep checking back as these new fabrics will be arriving during the months of March and April!
