Dolly Dresses

We received a new fabric panel from LakeHouse Dry Goods called "Dolly Dresses" that is as cute as a button - and you're encouraged to embellish these little dresses with buttons, ribbons, lace and everything girlie! Little (and big) girls will just love it.

Love Me, Love Me Not

Just in time for spring is the latest collection to arrive at the shop. "Love Me, Love Me Not" by Ro Gregg for Northcott is a bright and pretty collection of pinks, greens and blacks featuring daisies. These fabrics would be fun in aprons, bags, throws and more! So stop by and pick a handful of daisies to take home.

Big, Bold & Beautiful

Quilts do not have to be complicated and time consuming. This one features big 17 " blocks and was a quick afternoon sewing project. This 74" x 74" quilt evokes a romantic feel by using the "Enchanted Rose" collection, but would look great in any number of colors and prints. Stop by the shop and take a look.

Extended Hours - Stop By!

Don't miss the Prairie Stars Shop Hop going on now through April 17th. We'll be open extended hours every day (except Sunday) from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Get your passport stamped at all 10 shops for a chance to win $1000 in gift certificates ($100 at each shop!) Drawings for doorprizes, refreshments & more. We have lots and lots of new fabric to see, touch, feel and fall in love with (the newest 3 Sisters collection - Martinique - arrived yesterday!) We've also rearranged our sale fabric, sewing machine & classroom area - a great improvement, we think. And our Spring Babylock Sale is now on for select sewing machines including our most popular Grace! So hurry in and join the fun!

The Color Red

The color red has a long and varied history. In color psychology, red is associated with energy, heat, and fire. In Sophia, the newest collection at the shop, red has all the spark and substance of the fire that excites our emotions. Rebellious flowers move across the fabric tamed by the boldness of black. The collection is as inspiring as it is beautiful. You will fall in love with mixing the variations of reds, blacks and cream into a wildly sophisticated quilt that is sure to draw attention. Let Sophia by Windham Fabrics bring out the passion in you!
