New arrivals ..

NEW WAYS OF SELLING

People are asking more and more about fabrics in form such  as jelly rolls and the like for patchwork and quilting.. A lot of the fabulous fabrics that come in from Japan are not available  in such form .. but we have being talking to each other .. well I have being talking to myself really .. and we are thinking that we could make it available for people to buy smaller pieces of fabrics in coordinating stacks for them to play around with more and to have less waste when they are experimenting . at the minute - not sure really how to do it .. but when I know more I will let you know..







SCRAPPY SCRAPS 
 I LOVE PLAYING WITH SCRAPS 

NEW ARRIVALS 

We have had some great new arrivals from the freespirit range .. I had being wanting to get freespirit into the shop for a while now - I always thought that it was great quality fabrics as well as being good value for money 



A lot of the new arrivals is firmly made up of greens and blues. oh yes and yellow.


pig- let footstool


 I always love the arrival of Echino fabric - great quality and always always something new and exciting .. I bought an old footstooll from Ebay and have being dying to cover it .... with the house going through some crazy DIY .. I wanted to wait until we were finished - but heck we are not - but I wanted  a new footstool anyway .. so staple gun in hand I just went for it ..


You can find  these fab fabric here with us 

small quilt

Now I don't know about you guys.. but I hate to say it - but I have never really made a proper quilt .. you know with the freehand stitching and such .. and after I go wow .. I made that - well this month that is all going to change .. yes ladies - it is quilt time .... now hold on this is not going to be like anything like you have seen at knit and stitch .. or the like .. all I know is I need three kiddies like quilts for three dear friends - that expecting little people.

It may not look like much now .. sticktaped to my room door.. but hey ...give me a  break - our house is a little on the small side

I have gone for greens .. blues and a touch or red .. I think that these combinations would be great for both boys and girls .. I really wanted to use cloud9 's  organic cotton - alongside the soft Kaffee Fassett cottons  .. stay tuned for updates

SORRY It has being a while

The past couple of months have being seriously busy ... and so my little blog has fallen to the waste side .. but do not fear viewers  we are back .. well kinda.. I always seem to have very little time to do this .. Anyways got to crack on.

Vietnam / heather ross / nani iro

Heather Ross - ' far and away' is with us 
www.celticfusionfabrics.com



Nani Iro has arrived in the shop definitely my favourite stock in the shop at the moment  the blue is beautiful


I have to say Vietnam was just fab .. the range of crafts there are mostly wooden .. and of course the classic twee bamboo hat .. Fabric was ... well I was  a little disappointed .. nothing too amazing but very reasonable ... Graphics wise it was great .. great lettering .. funky stamps .. loved it  






Now back to more serious business .. work and fabric and the like. The beautiful evening are getting shorter and shorter.. less wine in the garden and more cosying up at the fire- a great time to start making and creating..

WE HAVE A WINNER

We have a winner for your birthday competition ... (drumroll) and it is 
Olivia wells ..
 so our fab prize (of your choice is off to you) CONGRATS 

Myself and Jim are off to Vietnam for 2 weeks and we are both very excited with backpacks in tow (never too late ) a little less fancy than  a nice pullalong case .. but hey you can's get a suitcase under your sleeper bed on an overnight train .. sharing with 6 other people in a tiny corridor..(now that I think about it - have we made the right decision ???)

We had a really great mention in "sew hip" magazine.. as stockists for the new cloud 9 organic fabrics .. I am hoping that this range is going to be a great success...

Better hit the road .. oh yes some  golden oldies .. back in the shop .. check 'em out - you will not be dissapointed
