IN STITCHES by Amy Butler

So I have a confession to make. I, like many others, LOVE Amy Butler. I can safely say everything that she has come out with has wowed me from her fabrics to scrapbooking supplies and now her book. Believe it or not I am not a big scrapbooker or quilter but being a designer I love the colors and patterns she uses. I could go as far as to say its brilliant. If you are like me, I don't really know what to do with the fabric once I buy it. This book has 175 pages of project ideas and patterns ranging from laundry totes to aprons. It has projects for every major room of the house starting with the living room and working its way through bedroom projects, kitchen projects, bathroom projects and office projects. Come visit us and check it out!

Amy Butler is Here!

It has finally arrived! We have been working hard to get Amy Butler fabric for you. If you haven't heard of it, her new line Lotus is a collection of vintage fabrics. To learn more about Amy visit her website www.amybutlerdesign.com. We have carried her patterns for awhile and if you have been keeping up with recent blogs we are also getting her line of scrapbooking supplies as well (the possibilities!). I am already gearing up to make a duvet cover with the pink flowered pattern. I found a pattern in one of our new books, Simple Sewing with a French Twist by Celine Dupuy. It is perfect if you are a beginner sewer or are like me and know only the basics. It is a guide to tools, fabrics, how-to, as well as tons of modern "french inspired" patterns straight from Paris. Another cute fabric collection we just got in is Dick and Jane by Michael Miller, based on the popular Dick and Jane books. It is perfect for kids quilts, blankets, or even a funky pillow or tote for yourself! Okay I probably have you on "new stuff" overload so I am just going to have to recommend you check out the fabric department yourself because they are getting in so many fun things every week (if you get a chance check out our new trims!).
