It is always so interesting when holes appear on the shelves. Sometimes it is a particular color or combination of colors, and then sometimes it is a type of collection. That is what happened in two cases in the shop--a huge hole!!! Suddenly one day I noticed that, to my horror, there was a hole in the homespuns and YIKES a hole in the batiks. Oh No!!!!! the two worst places to try and file a hole!!!! But surprise, surprise!!! thanks to a wonderful fabric rep and a cleaver merchandiser both of those holes have been filled. On Wednesday comes box after box of homespuns--17 pieces to be exact. A fabulous assortment of colors and textures that has perfectly filled the hole in that wonderful part of the shop. Just in time for a timely dorm quilt for the new graduate or just because that particular type of fabric is your passion, these are styles that we have not had at the shop before. Don't delay to check these out.

Oh yes, and that other hole across the aisle in the batik section. On Friday comes yet another box after box and thanks to the cleaver people at MODA, their whole collection of batik blenders. Every color in the rainbow and the perfect addition to all of the lovely pieces that we have in stock, now we can create any color pallet we can possibly think of. Again, this is the perfect solution to a graduation or wedding gift. Any color that your gift recipient or yourself could possibly want, we can help you pull together the perfect project.

I have also ordered some new surprises that I think will also delight everyone so come in and check out the shelves--a feast for the eyes and heart. And, if you are one of our appliquers, the batiks are perfect choices for flowers and leaves, berrys and grapes, and just about anything you can think of to add to an album block or fanciful project.
And, we are also now stocking the John James Gold n'Glide needles in Millners size 9 and 10. These lovely little needles are the perfect needle for appliqueing batiks.

See you soon--Barbara
