Anna Maria Horner;s new voiles are beautiful and we have got a few in stock to see how they go ... if you have never checked out her beautiful blog- it  is definitely worth a peek .. and she has a great pattern for a (pictured below) super easy sweet summer tunic here

At last ...

At at last - .. I have to admit that I have being absolutely useless lately .. too much tax ... tax and tax again - I wouldn't mind but I have a whole year to do it and I always seem to leave it o the the very last minute - with words ringing in my ears ... of  "have you seen my P60 .. P45 .. whatever it is" and "I think that I might be missing a few invoices"  but eventually it gets done and you wait for the frenzy for next year to happen again.. So blogging had being put on the back burner for a while. Anyway we have being quite busy in the shop recently getting in some  lovely new fabrics for you you have a goo at and here they are 

Tammis Keefe - reproduction prints  

Handkerchiefs, linen kitchen towels and scarves are what Tammis Keefe is known for today because of their availability.  Her signed handkerchiefs printed on fine linen or cotton were a collector's item even then during a time when the handkerchief was on the way out and Kleenex tissues were rapidly taking over. These beautiful Textiles have being reproduced by Michael Miller textiles.

(we have started a new section in our shop named reproduction prints - so I am hoping to be adding gradually to that section)

 

  

 

Annete Tatum ... quirky 60's feel prints 

 

There will also be a new arrival of Kokka and Echino Fabrics arriving in the next few weeks - lots of new linen mixes and quirky prints .. here is just a little taster 

 

Oh yes I nearly forgot .. some customers have being enquiring about new Japanese import fabric also arriving next week .. Stay tuned for cute giveaways

 

 Better hop off now - off to catch up on big fat gypsy wedding .. got to pick up some tips for July .. Have a lovely week all.

Nice Holiday Time

I really hope that all you lovely ladies out there are enjoying the break ... I love the couple of days after Christmas I find them the most relaxing... We have had a couple of new arrivals arrive before the Christmas .. Boys fabrics are just so hard to find these days and I think that these Eleanor Grosch are just perfect for new Year Boy treats ..

Check out these and more fab new fabrics here at www.celticfusionfabrics.com

No more Snow ..

Okay - I have had enough snow now and I don't want anymore .. I only went to the post office this morning ... walking ... the poor lady behind the desk nearly had a heart attack when she seen me arrive in totally covered from head to toe ... in snow and proceeded to drip everywhere .. she didn't seem impressed I may add... So I have being kept busy rustling up some new little charm packs for the shop ... and here they are ... we have also had some other new arrivals - which I think are great as well.. here we go ..

Cute new Charm packs - can be found here

winner of Kokka fabrics

Crikey I am far behind this week ... I was meant to draw a winner on Friday ... but anyway here we go .. the winner is MaryPoppins ... (no not that one) .. this one here.... Contact me with you address Mary and I will get your prize off to you ...



Anyways I have being a bit busy myself over the past couple of days .. making these little happy hoops as gifts .. I love smallish things and these hoops are great for little pressies... I used some of the new Kokka French themed baloon fabric and a couple of the Kaufman fabrics and took it from there .. please excuse the bad light - I was burning the midnight oil ... Gwen

Kokka Giveaway

Okay - I couldn't quite wait until Monday .. well close enough for me .. Sunday .. I just love my Kokka fabric giveaways ... because..well- everybody loves Kokka .. don't they?.. They are all so different .. the thing about Kokka fabrics is they never have a name on the selvedge edge stating the design of the fabric.. like Amy Butler fabrics .. 'optic blossom' or 'innocent crush' by Anna Maria Horner .. etc .. So I end up naming a lot of the fabrics myself for the shop .. so that I know what customers are ordering ... and to distinguish one from the other...

To enter this competition I want you to say what you would title your fabric ..... if you were to design one yourself ...

Oh yes and the Prize ... 8 fat quarters one of each of the fabrics pictures below (a great pressie for someone... or just keep for yourself) ... I will send anywhere in Europe ... so don't be shy ...
I will choose an entry on Friday 10th December .. so be quick
